Week 7 Other Games Thread

James Madison had 13 All- American players?

Did I say all 13? A few were.

That money had liitle to do with Cignetti taking the program from 1-8 to 8-1 in “year zero”. Give the coach credit

Are you his agent?

You said Cignetti brought ready to play all americans to Indiana, that would mean he recruited or coached up players to an FCS championship game, then a bowl game in their first FBS season, Then The College Football Playoff. Unlike others here I don’t think his success is due to NIL.

 

[LeftofThaDial]

Give the softest schedule in America credit.

There were at least 7 teams that would have gone 8-1 last year with their schedule, including the Gophers.

Agree, didn’t comment on his success last year because of it. But he has backed it up, and we never took advantage of the Big Ten west for our big year

Obviously Cignetti can coach, but NIL and the transfer portal and soft schedules have certainly helped. The results obviously have been remarkable considering the prior struggles there, but the school seems to have really amped up the support for the football program.

Im just pointing out the NIL situation....It's a perfect marriage. Trust me, growing up in Indiana and having several IU grads in my family, I've witnessed a lot of bad IU football, they now have a President and AD who care. With Cignetti, he brings a lot the table which in turn attracts the donors.
