Without the university scandals and Big Ten money, I love the Michigan State comp for OSU.

OSU Bullets

• Mike Holder chatted it up at the Tulsa Rotary Club yesterday and shared his stance on immediate eligibility for transfers. 

“I don’t want to take a year of eligibility away from them,” Holder said. “If they’ve already redshirted a year and then they transfer and lose a year of eligibility, I’m not for that, either. But I think that you should have to take a year off.” [TulsaWorld]

That’s a legitimate stance: for the NCAA to soften it’s “five-years-to-play-four stance” to a “enjoy your victory lap if you want a sixth” – it fits the times.

I can’t imagine how much that would cost member institutions (an extra redshirt year to transfer with) to pay for that extra year but I suppose teams receiving talent won’t mind.

• This was big-time – a former president is throwing out the first pitch at OSU’s new baseball stadium

• Three questions for OSU to answer in spring football was good – and also encouraging when you think about how little (outside of Spencer Sanders solidifying) this team needs

• Nice to have Tony Allen back in GIA on Saturday. Man, to have an alpha defender like that again.

• I really could have gone for the Big 12 being in on this bowl – sort of a poor man’s Holiday Bowl.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Encouraging/cool story about how a convent donated land to New Orleans to help with flooding

• Reversing the Silicon Valley trend of eliminating the work/home divide

• Good faith-based look at here (good for all) on how to assess online pundits

This is absolutely incredible.
