You are only allowed 1 overseas trip every 4 years. Applies to all teams. No team does an overseas trip every year. Or an MTE out of the country. There’s always a loophole.

If he's going to sit at a P5 this year but his goal is to be at one of those schools, why not come here for a year, play lots of minutes and show how good he is and go P5 next year. He'd rather get more money to sit for a year? I don't know, but to me, that's crazy. Unless you want (or need) the ex...

NYG, 4 more starter quality players would be great from our perspective. But, I don’t think 4 more would come here as it would be too crowded for PT. Plus, not sure we can even afford them.

We are going to be about a .500 team in conference and maybe slightly above that overall. As of now, my take anyway. Again, not good enough.
