I am all for anything that makes NIL deals real NIL deals and stops the Pay for Play stuff. But I don't have high hopes of their being any kind of actual and consistent enforcement and we all know teams will find all the loop holes.

They are right, there is no need to expand the tournament....it is going to happen because $$$ but there definitely isn't a need for it. There wasn't a need to expand to 68 either......didn't stop it from happening.

Interesting discussion on this deal and unfortunately this is probably the direction we are headed where guys will be signing multi year deals out of high school in order to keep them at one school. Feels like a losing proposition for the school and a great deal for the hot shot prospect. So...

Agree, attempting to inject politics into the football board should be an instant ban of at least a week.

Better way to measure success is # of conference seasons finishing over .500. Fleck has gone over .500 in 4 of his 7 full seasons Claeys did it during his interim year. Kill did it one time during his time here Brewster never finished over .500 in conference Mason did it 2 times in 10 years...

See now I would argue that what Fleck has done here is elite....by Minnesota standards. Fleck has had more success and sustained success here than any coach since the 1960s. That might not be good enough for some fans but in this college football landscape where we are unlikely to be a true...

Love it...though sadly the bad loses thread will probably get more traction because people love to complain way more then they love to remember the good things on message boards.

A movie scene that has always stuck with me is this one from the Might Ducks..... In the end it all comes down to how you choose to look at things in life. Some will choose to dwell on what could have been, even though in nearly all cases where you dwell on those kind of things there is no...

I agree....I don't get why some feel the need to dwell on loses....especially years after they happened. To each their own though. I'd rather focus on the wins and good things that have happened as opposed to looking for things to complain about.

Fleck has said he wanted to do what guys like Alvarez/Fry/Ferentz have done at their schools. Cynical fans just dismissed it and assumed he would be out the door at the first chance he got.

Bummer....used to like going to Annies during my time at the U. Great shakes and the burgers were good as well.

Yeah....I really don't get why some feel the need to fixate on stuff like this. Outside of the teams that are in the National title hunt (and sometimes even those teams) every team has games they lose that they shouldn't on paper. Turnovers, fluke plays, weather, poor execution....things...

Cool....another classification of athlete that is apparently exempt from roster limits for the remainder of their eligibility. Would think anyone in this classification that can play will be really valuable and apparently it even applies to some recruits that had offers pulled due to roster...

Someone made it go away.....

Yep, rankings right now are just complete guesswork sometimes well researched and often not really researched at all. We have questionmarks to be sure (as you correctly pointed out, most teams do). We lost some key guys, we brought in a bunch of transfers and of course there is the development...
