If we can throw the ball again and mix running and passing as we did much of last season. If we are throwing at 50%, we'll struggle to make a bowl.

This is not sustainable.

Most of the 120 or so IA schools will never be able to pay out $20 million a year in salaries to athletes. Note that the B10 is still dangling 18 teams with no divisions, not caring at all about fans, but as greed prevails and TV brings in more money, most schools are treading water or falling...

Ridiculous. Most schools can't afford the inflation coming in payments and will either drop football or move into a new version of the NCAA that is legally protected in some way from player payments. It will all go back to the Supreme Court eventually. Meanwhile the NCAA should reinstate the...

18 teams hanging on a thread. They really have no respect for fans. TV money is everything.

Nebraska will be better this year than last. New OC and DC coordinators are jelling, Raiola is one of the best in the nation, their defense will be tough, their running game will be better. Should win 8 at least.

Nebraska not likely a Gopher win.

If you lose fans in the stands, have no division titles to play for, you'll eventually sink in TV ratings, too, and the golden egg will break into pieces. The conferences, NCAA, presidents, ADs, coaches, all put greed ahead of common sense and rational administration of the game. West Coast...

No Spring game? Fans mean less and less.

Anarchy! The NCAA has to go back to the Supreme Court to restore order and sanity. The most important thing is when will the B18 re-establish divisions instead of letting 18 teams swing in the breeze?

Rap is not music - it is bad poetry. If the word "monkey" was shouted multiple times in the "song" he has nothing to worry about.

Despite drawing 75 to 90k fans who pay for tickets, Nebraska may cancel their popular spring game because of portal poaching by other coaches watching the game on TV!

CBS Sports reports that Duke is paying QB Darian Mensah $4 million a year on a two-year contract! This is all insane. Gophers could buy a QB for half a season with all their NIL funding together. NCAA has to get back into the courts and go all the way back to SCOTUS to return sanity to college...

The only way to stop NIL is to revisit the Supreme Court and show them what a disaster they have brought to school sports. They might reconsider or refigure.

An odd thing about the '77 season's Rose Bowl: Minnesota beat both of the teams, Washington and Michigan, leading one TV announcer to quip that it was the "Gopher Bowl."
