Good for those guys.....can think of a lot worse ways to spend my 20s then playing pro basketball in Europe for one of the many leagues over there.

I mean if you are going to pick a road trip destination for a Gopher game it probably makes sense to pick a city they will actually have a game in during that season. More fun then showing up at an empty stadium while the teams are playing in Minneapolis ;)

Feels like there is a flaw in that plan somewhere. Then again.....if you can punt......that does seem to be the position where some older players end up getting on the field.

I don't know if what is happening at Indiana is a once in a lifetime thing....but you can bet lots of schools are going to try and duplicate what they have done and chances are very high the vast majority are going to fail. Kind of feels like the stars aligned and allowed them to pull off...

Says right in the thread title that he tells players it is not all business but there is a business piece too it. College athletics has always had a business aspect to it but that has accelerated a massive amount in the last 15-20 years as TV contracts have gotten massive, coaching salaries...

Hold on....Indiana is good.....how have we not had a thread about that on this site yet?

Some of you don't want to hear it but it would take something like an 0-12/1-11 type season for Fleck to get fired after the 2026 season. Would take at least two consecutive sub .500 Big Ten seasons for him to truly be on a hot seat without an off field scandal of some kind.

We play in the Big Ten already, we don't need to go out looking for brutal non-conf games against helmet schools.

Obviously never know how much teams will change over the off season but on paper that is a really soft scheduled based on how the teams were in 2025 at least.

Feels a little early to be planning a 2027 road trip but to each their own :)

Yeah, there was a time when making it to a bowl wasn't easy and required a pretty good season. Those days are long gone, to make a bowl now you just have to not suck. Fewer games with better matchups would certainly increase the value of making a bowl game but that ship sailed many years ago...

Good lord man.....keep this crap out of this forum...you and the other couple morons already infested the bowl thread with your name calling and political attacks.....

Max was put in a brutal situation, on the road against a contender with a really strong defense and with a patchwork O-Line in front of him that was missing multiple starters. He didn't play well and the pick 6 was a horrible decision but he was also put into a spot where it would have been...

What a time to be a high level college athlete. Free ride to school and an additional $75,000 on top of that just for signing.

My bad....not sure why I thought they had made a coaching change.
