Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson banned from UNC facility and his close friend approves
Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has reportedly been banned from the University of North Carolina's Chapel Hill facility amid concerns about her affecting the eight-time Super Bowl winner's legacy. Sportswriter Pablo Torre cited two sources to report that the athletic department made the decision last week. 'That decision was that Jordon Hudson is no longer allowed in the football building; she is not allowed on the football field,' he revealed on his 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' show Friday. He further added that fans won't be 'hearing much from Jordon moving forward'.

'There is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades,' Torre said. Now, Belichick's close friend and former college football coach, Urban Meyer, has retweeted a post about Hudson's reported ban, sparking speculations about him approving UNC's move. The speculation comes days after Belichick's now-infamous CBS interview, in which the former Patriots coach was asked about his new relationship and Hudson intervened to stop the host. Meyer, whom Belichick said he admires, had defended the legendary coach on rumors about him being misguided and losing control. 'I would probably push back on that, Rob. I would say no, he's not,' Meyer told co-host Rob Stone on The Triple Option Podcast. "There is absolutely zero probability. This is an interview that somehow went rogue, it became a topic of all headlines. Coach, I believe, put out a statement explaining the situation. It should be over and move on. ... No, absolutely not, he hasn't lost control. It just became a topic of conversation."

Urban Meyer doesn't think that the NCAA should vacate Michigan football 2023 wins
Urban Meyer doesn't think that the NCAA should vacate Michigan football 2023 wins Michigan football has found an unlikely ally -- in some ways -- in its fight against the NCAA due to 'signgate' in none other than the most prominent former Ohio State coach. Appearing on The Triple Option Podcast, Meyer reacted to Rob Stone about the Wolverines potentially vacating wins in the aftermath of the Connor Stalions saga -- a popular solution from many in self-proclaimed 'Buckeye Nation.' 'Pump the brakes. Don't even go there,' Meyer said. 'When you start seeing about coaches that can't coach -- you went through this, and you see the word 'show-cause, show-cause,' in my understanding, means you can't coach. 'If someone wants to hire you, you're not allowed to coach. Obviously, there's some stuff there, but once again I defer until everything comes out, and I hope it does. I hope everything comes out. At some point you can move past this because this is like a black cloud that's been hanging for a while.' As Meyer notes, it's somewhat meaningless to vacate wins and teams that often have, have done so in seasons where they didn't have a lot of wins to begin with. 'Everyone starts laughing. Vacate what wins? Seven years ago, six years ago, four years ago," Meyer said. "That has no impact on -- that's the risk-reward. You can vacate all the wins you want. Now, obviously this discussion will come up. You start vacating wins from a national championship season; that's a problem. 'But I think Tennessee had some wins vacated, if I remember, right, maybe Arizona State, the teams weren't very good. So who cares? The risk-reward is in full effect there. That means there's no risk and a great reward, I guess, if you do the things they're doing. So you hear the word vacated wins, everybody rolls their eyes in college sports.' Meyer also offered a solution to the NCAA not being respected, saying that coaches who deceive the organization (caught lying or otherwise) should face a lifetime ban from college sports. It's unclear whether or not he includes Sherrone Moore's deletion of texts (which he later produced upon request) with Connor Stalions as a potential impetus for his proposed ban. It makes sense that Meyer would feel that way given that his first year at Ohio State featured 12 vacated wins in a 12-1 season in the aftermath of Jim Tressel and 'tatgate.'

Urban Meyer chimes in on Nico Iamaleava: "Tennessee is screwed"
The Nico Iamaleava saga has become one of the biggest stories in all of football. It's widely regarded as a disaster for the player. One former college coach, who had a disastrous season in the NFL, has chimed in on the subject. 'Here's the reality,' former Jaguars coach Urban Meyer said on The Triple Option Podcast (via the Knoxville News Sentinel), 'Tennessee is screwed.' After Iamaleava skipped a practice, the Volunteers stridently moved on. And now they don't have a quarterback. 'They are at nada, zero,' Meyer said. Obviously, they'll find someone to supplement redshirt freshman Jake Merklinger and freshman George MacIntyre. But it won't be easy to get a new guy up to speed in time for the season that's coming. 'Everybody's saying, 'Nice job Tennessee, making a stand,'' Meyer said. 'I've got a little comment on that. Tennessee plays Florida usually every year in October. Can you imagine that game's going the other way and [coach] Josh Heupel grabs the microphone and stands on the 50-yard line in Neyland Stadium and says, 'It's OK, I made a stand way back when.'' Yes, Tennessee has won the P.R. battle — largely because Iamaleava's camp hasn't bothered to implement any real P.R. strategy at all. Still, Tennessee could lose the football war. Iamaleava could, too. He's officially in the transfer portal, and he'll undoubtedly find a team for 2025. Separately, however, Iamaleava and Tennessee could do a lot worse apart than they could have one together. Especially since, last year, they did enough to get to the college football playoff.
