Very few teams being able to stock their QB room is very good for college football parity. QB is the most important position and almost all the best ones are playing, not waiting their turn. It also means most teams are one starting QB injury away from possibly falling off a cliff. That's...

Another example, Ryan Browne transfers from Purdue to NC, things get too tough for him so transfers right back to Purdue. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44740859/ryan-browne-transferring-north-carolina-back-purdue We've all seen this many times now. How soon can they reduce...

Daniels plays for Ohio State

Zach Pyron played the current system perfectly. He took a shot at winning the starting job at a high visibility P2 school and when he saw it wasn’t going to happen went G5. He obviously wants to start. That’s the problem with the current two portal window system. Gophers did their best. Got...

B1G has to be the biggest beneficiary of the portal and NIL, right? A lot of money and mostly poor recruiting footprints. We were already "paying" kids to come here from the southeast with scholarships. Now, we can pay them a heck of a lot more!

The NBA play in tournament is pretty fun. We could do that for schools that are marginal B1G schools each year. The winners can play in our league for the next year. Play in games: BYU - Utah Iowa - Iowa State Wisconsin - Nebraska - SDSU - NDSU BC - Syracuse Stanford - Cal etc.

Can they unretire his son's number after Deon leaves, most likely not on good terms, sort of like an executive order.:)

Won't real NIL opportunities usually be better near home? Like getting advertising gigs, etc., and building his brand? That would be especially true if he's actually good. He can be a hometown hero like Perich. Becoming a celebrity in a different state where you're starting from zero and the...

Darius Taylor also made the list. https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-top-10-returning-running-backs-2025

Based on the below, I imagine they think they'll make up for it with higher ticket sales and sales of beer and specialty foods. Interesting strategy. I do wonder how long the lines will be for the free stuff... "Specialty items, food from outside vendors, and alcoholic drinks will still be...

We have six hard commits while Wisconsin only has two for the class of 2026 and not all that highly rated at that. Iowa 7 and Nebraska 3 just for reference. It's early, but not looking good for WI.

I'm relatively new to this board and much more interested in MN basketball now mostly because of the new hire so am really just interested in what you more educated basketball fans think. Here is what I could find on the internet. How good would this lineup be? Way-too early potential 2025-26...

Well said. He's 44 years old and $10 million fine and I doubt is reading this board. If he is reading this board, he's laughing at us amateurs while checks of a size none of us will ever see come in. Actually, he should just be thankful for all the interest in the program, even if it's...

The ACC is in huge trouble because of their lower football revenue and they know it. It impacts both football and basketball. Isn't all the money the SEC has generated in football what has elevated them in basketball?

Is the B1G handling this very differently than the SEC? Less transfers. Easy to identify three out of the four, but not so much the SEC schools. The B1G is more likely to shift to the SEC model in the future to better compete, right? Sad, but likely.

We are very lucky the B1G was aggressive during conference realignment! ACC basketball is dead compared to what it was and may never recover. This article gave an interesting perspective: https://www.si.com/college/ucla/men-s-basketball/bruins-big-ten-acc-ncaa-tournament

I agree and that is very similar to football. Harder for the bluebloods to horde the best talent in both leagues now which is good. Not so good for mid majors is their best players are transferring up a level and making the average major conference team better. That is similar to FCS and...

I predicted this would happen before the tournament, but was hoping I'd be wrong.:(

I agree to your "Hell no" response to golf's recommendation of "Play the games at the highest seed." How about play games at the lowest seed with 14 seed or lower! They're going to need all the help they can get with NIL & the portal gutting their rosters of their best players. Why not help...

14 out of 16 SEC teams make it and 16 of the 32 teams to make it out of the first round are from the B1G and SEC, eight each? It's also not surprising there were fewer upsets since good players are now just transferring from the lower leagues to get a bag of money from the P2. They should...
