These look like two bad teams. Not encouraging. To his credit this is the most animated I’ve ever seen PJF. Not good enough. This feels like the assistant coach firing part of the season.

It’s pretty crazy any way you look at it. Is it the case UCLA and NU are improved, or is PSU broken? Are there NIL payment issues and a work stoppage/slowdown? I think it was the MSU team that almost boycotted the Nebraska game from the hotel lobby a few years ago, over late NIL handouts.

Oregon fall days are dreary enough as it is; will be a long week for the quack backers

I disagree this is throughly enjoyable. He’s rough and arrogant but clearly operates on a higher level than most recruiters, talent evaluators, coaches. Then again, as soon as he starts losing games he should win and lashes out Jerrry-style fans will be quicker to turn.

They could cut/freeze costs, renegotiate deals, dream up innovative partial public ownership or funding alternatives, wait until the next tv deal rolls around and shake the money tree. Or, they could give all that future money to the vultures. Money that will be burned immediately and they...

Color me surprised… Of course, Congress is out of session for the foreseeable future. On Monday, Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R., Wash.) introduced a bill aimed at blocking private-equity deals with athletic departments or conferences, according to a draft of the bill obtained by Front Office...

I believe the 4% is only for the next two cycles then will ne reevaluated based on _____.

I’ve seen way worse in youth sports

Indiana getting f***** by the big ten all game. Gotta protect the brand… This is gross.

They will make distributions on some schedule. The rumored deal runs, what, 20 years (for now). The fact this scheme is allegedly being seriously discussed by big ten leadership still boggles the mind. They’re taking a torch to the furniture to heat the house. Other famous public/private...

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...

These are 100% made up numbers. Maybe the overall gestalt is correct.

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...
