Is this a MN Vikings thread? Seriously though, Arch Manning was the overall #1 recruit landed by the team with arguably the most aggressive and generous NIL machine in the nation. It wasn’t just the media hyping this dude. Nobody forced him to do all the ads. Maybe he gets better. Maybe...

The most deserving versus most talented debate probably goes back to 1936.

Well, even those 2023 and 2024 numbers are suspect as the Swarm distributes to 22 Iowa teams. Sure, the majority of that undoubtedly goes to football but even then these on3 numbers are educated guesses at best. To my knowledge there are only a few collectives that claim non-profit status and...

Here are the reported numbers for the Swarm Collective from 2023. We won’t see 2024 for another few months. Unless contributions really picked up last year and DE’s numbers for Iowa from On3 are correct the Swarm is writing checks their body can’t cash. I tend to strongly doubt both...

Indeed!

If true (which I doubt - the broadcasters will get their pound of flesh) more a reason not to dilute your own share. There is NO reason for the big ten or SEC to jump in bed with PE that makes any sense, and it will inevitably lead to even worse decisions down the road. “Once you start down...

It’s about expectations. MN is now very competitive with rivals Iowa and Wisconsin. MN just defeated a very good coach in Schiano. MN is not competitive with the top tier and barring a restructuring into a more generous salary cap scenario (making fan NIL less relevant) probably will not be...

Lots of current or former officials in this thread. Anyway, agree they weren’t the reason they lost. Also fine to point out or discuss why certain things happen, Tangentially related in the Vikings game this morning the flag indicator came on the broadcast feed five seconds before the second...

F This is more for certain choices eg short yardage, overall recruiting and development in year 8/9. This team has some issues. No shame in getting blown out by a very good team to great Ohio state team. Even the prolific 2024 Indiana offense was shut down last season. It does demonstrate...
