Wait, common sense would have prevailed if the LSU administration was put in the same position by Lane Kiffin, or any other coach for that matter?

Over the past five months, the story around Kiffin bolting from Ole Miss two weeks before the Rebels would start their quest for a College Football Playoff title has centered around, in Kiffin's mind, the thought that he wanted to coach the Rebels while also being the head coach at LSU.

In reality, none of that made sense, no matter how you sliced the cake. Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter was not going to allow Kiffin to become a walking billboard for a rival team, while at the same time having an open door to take players with him to Baton Rouge.

Lane Kiffin’s Coaching Saga Feels Like A Taylor Swift Album Rollout, With 'Bad Blood' And 'Illicit Affairs'

You can agree or disagree with the mindset of Rebels' AD Keith Carter, but once Kiffin told him on the Saturday following the Egg Bowl that he was not signing a new contract with Ole Miss and taking the LSU job, the conversation around him staying in Oxford for the CFP was over.

Matter of fact, it was over a month earlier. Carter had already made it a point of emphasis that if Kiffin were to leave, he was not coaching Ole Miss in the postseason.

So, any type of revisionist history is just that: a screenwriter trying to rewrite the ending.

As we reported numerous times during this whole debacle, the Ole Miss administration was not oblivious to what was transpiring outside its building. Whether that was Florida officials flying into Oxford for a visit during a bye-week, or Kiffin engaging with LSU officials in different manners over the final few weeks of the Rebels' regular season.

But, lost in the actual reality of the situation was this mindset from some across college football that Kiffin should’ve been afforded the opportunity to coach Ole Miss in the college football playoff. Whether it was Nick Saban, some within the ESPN organization, or LSU fans trying to continue poking the bear, the constant opinions were never ending.

Mind you, this would’ve been a horrible decision on the part of Ole Miss, given that the storyline would not center on the historic season unfolding, but more so towards Lane Kiffin entering each game as the head coach at two different SEC schools.

Honestly, the fact that we're still having this conversation five months later is baffling, but Lane has done himself zero favors over the past few months in terms of public relations, most recently with his take on how difficult it was to recruit at times in Oxford with past racial tensions still supposedly rearing its head.

But, that's just Lane being Lane, doing everything he can to keep the conversation on him, which I can't say is surprising in the least.

Thankfully, we finally have common sense coming out of Baton Rouge, in the form of LSU Athletic Director Verge Ausberry.

Should Lane have been allowed to coach Ole Miss during the playoff run, despite already taking the LSU job a week before the postseason was set to begin?

Let's switch it around, shall we.

If LSU would’ve had Lane Kiffin as its head coach, and a rival school hired him during the Tigers' playoff run, would the Tigers administration have allowed their head coach to roam the sidelines during the CFP while also being the head coach at an opposing school?

"I’d probably be like, ‘Nah, we ain’t doing that. No,’" Verge Ausberry told USA TODAY Sports. "But, that hand wasn’t dealt."

Wait, so after all of the wild opinions that arose from Kiffin accepting the LSU job, while still lobbying to coach Ole Miss in the CFP, the LSU athletic director would’ve told the head coach to get on out of town?

"If I’m Ole Miss, I probably would’ve made the same decision," Verge Ausberry said. "I know LSU would’ve made the same decision. I don’t blame anybody."

Well, would you look at that.

The LSU athletic director is a smart man, who understands the situation Ole Miss was put in at that time, because more than likely there could come a time when he has to deal with the same type of situation, heaven forbid for his own mental sanity.

But, we can now move on to more important matters, like what is about to happen with the salary cap that came about from the House settlement. Or, the ongoing battle between conferences not named the SEC and the fight for CFP expansion.

It's shaping up to be a hostile few months across college athletics, and it has nothing to do with what transpired in Baton Rouge last December.

Cristiano Argento has been tearing up opponents in the ring for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as he worked his way up the ladder to get a few shots at some gold.

But the path to get to one of the most prestigious pro wrestling companies in the U.S. was long and a path that not many wrestlers have taken.

Argento was born and raised in Osimo, Italy – a town of about 35,000 people located on the east side of the country closer to the Adriatic Sea. He told Fox News Digital he started training in a ring at a boxing gym before he got started on the independent scene in Italy. He wrestled in Germany, Sweden, France and Denmark before he came to the realization that, to become a professional wrestler, he needed to make his way to the United States.

He first worked his way to Canada to get trained by pro wrestling legend Lance Storm. He moved to Canada, leaving most of his friends and family behind and without a firm grasp on the English language.

"At the time, my English was horrible. I didn’t speak any English at all," he said. "But I was with my friend, Stefano, he came with me and he translated everything for me. I probably missed 50% of the knowledge that Lance Storm was giving to us because I was unable to understand. I was only given a recap and everything I was able to see. I’m sure if I was doing it now with a proper knowledge of English, it would have been a different scenario.

"Eventually, I moved back to Italy after the training and I said, OK, now, I want to go to the U.S. So, I studied English more properly, and eventually I got my first work visa that was in Texas. I was in Houston for a short period of time. I trained with Booker T at Reality of Wrestling. I got on his show, which was my debut in the U.S. That was awesome. I eventually got a new work visa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I currently live since 2017. Since then, my wrestling career, thankfully, kept growing, growing, growing and growing until now wrestling for the NWA. One of the bigger promotions in the U.S."

Argento said that his family thought he was "nuts" for chasing his pro wrestling dream.

He said they were more concerned about his well-being given that he was half-way around the world without anyone he knew by his side in case something went sideways.

"My family, friends, everybody was like why do you want to move to the opposite side of the world not knowing the language, not knowing anybody, by yourself, to try to become a professional wrestler? And I was like, well, we have one life, I love, and that’s what I’m gonna do," he told Fox News Digital. "Eventually, my family was really supportive. But when I first said, ‘Hey, mom and dad, I want to do that.’ They looked at me like, ‘Are you nuts? Are you drunk or something? What are you talking about?’ And I said, no that’s what I want to do. And they knew I loved this sport because in Italy I was traveling around Europe, spending time in Canada training, so they started to understand slowly that’s what I want to do with my life. They were proud of me.

"They’re still proud of me. I think more like the fact that you’re gonna try that, that it’s hard than more like you’re gonna leave us. The fact like, oh, my son is gonna go on the opposite side of the world for a six-hour time difference and we’re gonna see him maybe, when, like, I don’t know. Not often. I think it was more that. And for me too, it was really hard. It was heartbreaking not being able to see my family every day or every month. Like once a year if I’m lucky. I think that was the biggest part for them because of concern or that I was here by myself and if I have any issue or any problem, I didn’t have nobody. So they were scared. Like, you get sick, if you have a problem, anything, and they’re not being able to be here next to me. But they were really supportive since day one."

Argento is living out his dream in the U.S. He suggested that the moniker of the U.S. being the "land of opportunity" wasn’t far from what is preached in movies and literature – it was the real thing.

"I was inspired by people who came to the U.S. and made it big," Argento told Fox News Digital. "The U.S. was always like the land of opportunity. That’s how they sell it to us and this is what it is. I feel like, in myself, that was true because anything I tried to do so far I was able to reach a lot more than if I wasn’t here. I’m not yet where I’d like to be but I see like there’s so many opportunities in this country. Not just in wrestling but like in any business to reach the goal. I’m really happy of the choices I did here.

"But my big inspirations were big-time actors who moved to the country, who didn’t know English, with no money, no support system. I had one dream, I have to go right there to make it happen and I’m gonna go and do it and I’m gonna make it happen. So those people were always the biggest inspiration even if it wasn’t in wrestling, just how they handled their passion, how they pursued their dream without being scared of anything, how far you are, how alone by yourself … You don’t know the language, you’re like, let’s go, let’s do it."

Outside of the NWA, Argento has performed for the International Wrestling Cartel, Enjoy Wrestling and Exodus Pro Wrestling this year.
