That is fine. To each their own. We can think about whether the fan base 'paying for education' is equivalent to making a salary (a whole other debate and partially a chicken and egg kind of thing in terms of him attracting ticket sales/boosters/etc). I do not think it is equivalent to...

(y)(y) I just did not want it to be a blanket statement even for those players who may not be injured.

I would also prefer to be at a place where people have liberal ideas and creative minds who want to change the world rather than own the world. However, these people have to add, subtract, and understand straightforward. This is not a 'history has shown type of thing...'. I not would say a top...

I hope you have a physical job that involves bodily harm leading to risk for CTE, chronic pain, ligament damage, affected gait and early osteo/post traumatic arthritis. I also hope you have a job has not yet, but may, allow for early financial independence (but you are for whatever reason...

This. Same as college football. You do not get rewarded for playing a P5 team and losing. The kudos for scheduling difficult in that scenario is simply keeping you in the conversation come the latter half of the season if not other losses.

This. Fournette was battling injuries starting the preseason of his junior year. It is not mutually exclusive to think of the game as your first love and appreciate your teammates to the highest degree while desiring chances at early financial independence and decreased risk of long term...

Let's not make the Pac 12 out to have outstanding resumes if the scenario above happened... You are being a bit extreme. One could argue neither was that deserving to go still. Maybe Utah shouldn't schedule North Dakota, N IL, and Idaho St (all at home) so they can stay in the discussion even...

Getting 15 weeks from every sports website out there... Yes, I understand your math as well. Like you, I also would be in favor of more conference games if this was the format. Correct that not everyone takes a bye at the same time. That is why I said full slate and not just 1-2 marquee games...

To each their own Should el To each their own of course. I think most enjoy having 15 weeks of college football w interesting games and not just 10. To me, this reads, that we should let the kids go to class, have 5 weeks of preseason, and a 10 game schedule w conference championship. This...

No system is perfect. However, I think Klatt is one of the best, objective football minds around. His argument if this scenario were to happen is we can expect a lot more little sisters of the poor on the non con schedule. I tend to agree w him. This provides only 2 at large rather than 4 at...

First, unbelievable suggestion. However, as most people most likely realize, this is a pipe dream primarily due to the fact that the Twin Cities houses the four major pro sports (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB). There is simply not enough marketshare for a large stadium. I agree that attendance across the...

Isn't it nice to say a team opened up the playbook and made adjustments against the Gophers. Do you think that has been said on other boards (perhaps aside from Purdue?)?

I see what you are saying. Same could be said for the ACC this year. Always two that usually do not mean as much most years I believe. However, it is another title that Michigan does not have and puts more distance between them and their arch rival in terms out outright big ten championships...

Anyone else feeling this now that it has been 24 hours? We could have been the new Clemson (actually better per above!) only if we had gone for it!

This. You also have to beat the teams you play. See Wisc - IL. See SC-GA etc. I have already posted my thoughts about why rivalry games are emphasized to a larger degree (rightfully so). But respect a SOS in the top 30 and winning 10 games in a P5 conference.

10-2 exceeded expectations for all. It is inappropriate to be disappointed because if you called 10-2 then you may have been high. However, this is partially true. Blue bloods and their fans share this view. See Michigan who has had more sustained success under Harbaugh compared to the 3...

Have we let SG pass yet this season. Sure would have been a nice day to bust that out (4th and 2 or otherwise in the first half).

Questionable call mainly bc of the wind depending on how much that element is a factor. Agree w statements that confidence has been shown in that spot before also.

? Exactly. Being diplomatic. I’m sure there is a small minority who share the contrary view. Didn’t even get into the non con evidence. I know SF Austin and UTSA and Rice are powerhouses in the committees eyes according to some... All just objective data.

Time for the Big 10 JV game before the varsity game ??? I kid Great day of football for the midwest
