Then why commit this early before really checking it out? I wonder if PJ’s hard sell tactics (creating sense of urgency to make a decision) sometimes creates premature commitments. More often than not it seems to stick though.

Having graduated from med school and residency at the U I would say a couple things. One is that I’m not clear how the merger would affect the med school clinical faculty. Historically academic physicians have been better protected against the pressure to produce more clinical revenue, so they...

I have seen some rumors about the U considering purchasing back UMMC to separate themselves from Fairview but this wouldn’t be financially viable. The cost to buy now compared to what they sold it for 25 years ago would be enormous. And they need to build a new hospital anyway to have enough...

NCAA Bylaws 15.5.9.1 “A counter who was not recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.9) and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who competes in football and one or more sports (including basketball) shall be counted in football.”

That’s why he probably won’t be playing football. He steps on the football field, then his wrestling scholarship automatically gets counted against football’s 85.

Not to mention major jet lag for probably a short trip.

No doubt the Gophers program is in a better spot currently and the landscape of CFB with NIL, portal and super conferences may not be favorable to programs like Northwestern where Fitz’s recruiting job is way harder than Fleck’s. I certainly think West title banners would be raised if the...

Well, the Rose Bowl as we know it. and what was left of its allegiance with the B1G is about to go away. so a B1G team in the RB may be even less common than it has become. Not the Jan 1 (or 2) late afternoon fixture preceded by the Rose Parade. Watching the pregame yesterday and the drone shots...

If the band is funded under the school of music, then forget about it with costs these days. 320 band members is great to see but it is a big band so costs would add up in NYC going into New Years weekend. The cost of another hotel night would be like $24K if you figure 4 to a room X $300 plus...

Agree with the spirit of his comments but these kids aren’t signed on the dotted line until today. I get how it makes it more difficult to build a program. But if kid gets an offer from a much “better” program at the last minute then it’s good for the kid, right?

No other coach had the option to sign 5-10 transfers a year who don’t have to sit, and to be able to get guys to stay for 6th years.

He could be back in Iowa in a year or two if the NIL and depth chart don’t pan out for him.

Here’s an idea. Maybe some of the lesser bowls could convert to sponsored regular season games, like having more “kickoff classic” type games. Weather would be better for the more temperate locations, and they would sign teams well ahead of time, which could actually lead more fans to travel...

Assuming that’s former Husker OL Dominic Raiola. Yikes if Nebby gets the #1 QB/overall recruit AND has some coaching now.

There’s potential, not a lot of evidence to say “leaps and bounds.” Best evidence is one game against the worst Wisconsin team in a decade. Overall 52% completions and 3 TDs to 4 INTs. Granted Wisconsin’s Evers has no college track record so I agree he’s a 50/50 or maybe 60/40 that he will live...

Must be trying to err on the side of overattentiveness to avoid a flip? Uncommon to send 3 coaches to one visit when time is so precious.

25 players! That’s more than an entire recruiting class. This has got to be exhausting for coaches, now you have to recruit a full HS class and in some cases a double digit class of portal transfers.

Purdue gave Michigan a Bowl game doesn’t have the same team spirit feel when your coach just left.

As a Deferred Walk Off? 😂

Is there a pecking order to the AA lists, i.e. is one considered the most prestigious or “legit”?
