The University of Colorado athletic department is screwed, and it's their own fault. A USA Today report reveals the tens of millions of dollars they are short, thanks to their impetus hiring of Deion Sanders, his scam to help his sons, and the wreck he's now made of a football program that few want to be involved in, and that means those key players. What happened at Colorado is the canary in the coal mine for college athletics in this new era, and other schools better learn their lessons.

They often claim to be the most hated sports franchise in America, maybe even the world. But recently, when Sonny Gray was traded from the Yankees to the Boston Red Sox, all Hell broke loose when he said it's "easy" to hate the Yankees. SACRILEGE, or maybe a badge of honor. Sure, the Yankees are still big and bad, but not as much as they use to be. Besides, the real hate for this franchise come from the last place you might expect.

Lane Kiffin isn't the first football coach to use another school as a bargaining chip, but he is the current master of the scam. He used the Florida Gators as long as he could in cutting the LSU deal, but he was never really serious about going to Gainesville. It brings up the ONE question Gators have to answer: Why did Kiffin choose LSU over UF? Sure wan't the money, but there has to be a reason why and the Gators need to fix it.

Lane Kiffin might be the best thing that ever happened to LSU football. Then again, he might be the worst. No one knows, and his record certainly isn't one that screams instant National Title. The bigger issue here is the ungodly amount of money LSU has spent on former coaches and the cash they're handing to Kiffin. Louisiana is one of, if not the, worst state in America to live in. and people deserve to be told how much of their money is actually going into paying Kiffin and his team.

LANE KIFFIN STICKS IT TO OLE MISS FOOTBALL: But the Rebels have a chance to spit in his eye. Ole Miss is forced to lick their wounds and realie they were played by a master con man in Lane Kiffin. He never really cared about the program, the players, his coaches or the fans. This move to LSU follows a pattern he's done several times in his past. However, Ole Miss has a real chance to spit in his eye and win the day. All they have to do is now buckle down with a coach they know, and win in the playoffs. Prove to Kiffin his departure means nothing, if anything it's incentive to win.

LANE KIFFIN NEW FACE OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCAM: Ole Miss & Florida got played, good luck to LSU. Finally, Lane Kiffin has landed, and at LSU as many people expected. But this is far from the last chapter of this story. College football has a new face of scamming greed, b ut why should anyone fault Kiffin for what he did in light of how many times colleges use and toss away coaches? Ole Miss has a chance to really stick it to Kiffin in their final games, and the Florida Gators have some work to do in repairing what has been a football coaching disaster.

The lid has blown off the fan base for Florida Gators football, with the news Lane Kiffin has turned them aside and will coach elsewhere. These are fans who were convinced Kiffin had UF as his #1 choice, but despite all the money and power, Kiffin walked away, and THAT has people steamed. Why did he walk? What's wrong in Gainesville? Will AD Scott Stricklin keep his job? Oh yeah, it's a full scale panic.

Second before shutting down the studio for the Thanksgiving holiday, and I spy a comment made by a former football player at LSU questioning the "loyalty" of Lane Kiffin to Ole Miss and why they would want to hire someone like that at LSU. WHAT? Has someone been hit in the head too many times? A more ridiculous argument isn't possible. There is NO loyalty from either side in college football, and there never will be again thanks to the money involved. EXCUSE ME while I go off on a necessary rant and stop this nonsense.
