Sarah Fuller, the first female athlete to play Power 5 conference football, is back playing college soccer -- but at a new school.

Fuller has returned to her home state of Texas to play for North Texas after a memorable 2020 fall campaign in soccer and football.

In November, she won the starting goalkeeper job for Vanderbilt and helped the Commodores win the SEC soccer tournament title for the first time since 1994. After the season ended, she was drafted into place-kicking for the winless Vandy football team after COVID-19 contact tracing thinned the corps of kickers.

Wearing "Play Like A Girl" on her helmet, Fuller got to kick off in a game against Missouri and then went 2-for-2 on extra points in the SEC game against Tennessee two weeks later.

Fuller was even chosen to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris during a presidential inauguration event in January and attended the ESPY Awards. She even has an official store, where she sells her own apparel under the terms of the new NIL rules.

      Athletics site shows no more Bowl tickets available?

      https://www.firstresponderbowl.com/tickets/#Fan-Tickets We may have sold out of our allotment, but their website still shows ticket availability.

      Fun bowl games, not quite so fun playoff games. Maybe there's still something to be said for the bowl games after all.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      It will take some time for the fans of these schools to adjust to losing a few games a year when they're in the new "P2" consisting of maybe 40 teams max. However, filling an average 80k stadium for maybe 20 games/wk is only about 1.5M people demanding tickets for each week's game. Out of over 300M people, I suspect they can still keep filling the stands, other than the few days of "dud" games or bad weather. Now, I'm not sure about TV ratings, but there's so many T-shirt fans of these top 40 schools that I think they'll still watch. I hope this greed and the extreme powering of the top few schools ends up biting them in the a$$, but I'm afraid they'll be successful. I don't mind them breaking away, I just wish they'd be forced to give up any relation to the school. Go create a stand-alone semi-pro league independent of the universities. I haven't followed pro sports in decades, but my quick check shows the Cowboys have been varying between 6-9 and 13-3 for the past 20 years with minimal playoff success but from what I hear, they have plenty of demand for tickets, even when they suck. I realize they are a somewhat special team, but then again, so are these P2 teams, so I think the comparison is reasonably legit.

      Lot of fun bowl games so far. Toledo vs Pitt last night was incredible. This was another great game as well.

      Portal QB Emmet Brown - San Jose St

      Think this is staff trying to balance the QB Room out Have a 1 year starter, plus solid backup, the back up plays Sr Year while Jimmerson is the back up. Then after a few years to develop Jimmerson is ready to rock. I think Jimmerson may win the job as a RS Freshman over this guy. But it provides you with some solid QB play for competition as well as depth.
