Yeah, the real numbers will never be known. Contracts can remain private, so you will always have that. I believe in the first year of NIL, Gable Stevens was projected as the highest earning student athlete, because it was like 2022, the consortiums weren’t set up yet and Gable had a contract...

That’s another good data point. If you go to the On3 data, it shows in 2023 and 2024 Iowa average per commit as $23 and $28k, respectively. 2025 is $46k, double 2023. I am not sure how that ties out with what this “the swarm” data is showing showing, but it does show that they doubled the 2023...

well, they are suspect for sure, but they aren’t completely made up. They, supposedly come from reporting of collectives, public contracts, interviews etc.. however there is no way the capture everything. None the less, I think you are probably not off by concluding that this captures the...

The Ironic thing is that a Gopher Nat Championship is actually more within the control of the community/ fans than any “professional” sports team. In “professional” sports you can’t fund NIL to win a national title, like the Buckeyes did last year. If the Twin Cities wants a high profile title...

That’s fine, I totally get that. That being said, fans can’t blame PJ for that.

That’s a good question, and honestly it’s hard to tell, but On3 reports this for the top 10. Rank Program Football-only spend (est.) 1 Texas $38 – 40 M 2 Ohio State $35 – 37 M 3 Oregon ≈ 30 M 4 Texas A&M ≈ 30 M 5 Texas Tech ≈ 28 M 6 Miami ≈ 27 M 7 Michigan ≈ 22 M 8 USC ≈ 21...

That’s how OhSt, Michigan, Penn St, and most teams in the SEC do it.

Again, I don’t want to focus on the way it was, that time is done and we move on. Regarding the way it is, the loss to Cal was a disappointment for me, there wasn’t a talent imbalance or an NIL imbalance, that was on coaching. In this new system (like it or hate it), I think it’s challenging...

Out of curiosity, what role do you think the $35MM to $3-5MM NIL disparity played a role in this game? And who is responsible for that disparity, i think it’s on us as a fan base. But what do you think?

Your correct, losses to Boiling Green mattered (under the old system), so do loss to Cal (under the new system). Those are on PJ. Loss to OhSt this year, that’s on us, the fans.

First, in the old model players were getting paid, it just wasn’t out in the public. Given not as much as is now.. Second, what does the old model have to do with the new model? Under the old model Ryan day was about to get fired, under the new model he is a National champion Coach. Point is...

Fleck recruits as well as anyone that has a $3MM NIL budget.

Not until the fans pay up in NIL money $35MM is their budget.

Then us fans need to pay $35MM in NIL money. No sense in crying about PJ if the fans won’t be competitive in “giving” to NIL. To expect a different outcome come until we match NIL is counting on OhSt’s coach being utterly incompetent.

Listen, two good coaches playing a game, one has a $35MM roster the other a $3-5MM roster, the out come should be 42 - 3, if not worse. You want to be competitive with these teams, we need to spend the NIL $ before we can fairly evaluate PJ. Cal, that’s another story, yeah that was...

Honestly, this game wasn’t lost by PJ, it was lost by the Gopher Fans, or lack there of. Buckeye fans gave OhSt $35M this year for their roster, Gopher fans gave $3-5MM. Blame the loss to Cal on PJ. This game against OhSt was lost by the fans, before the game was ever played.

We are to Hockey what Bama is to football and Kentucky is to Basketball. This nonsense of the last 8 years is completely unacceptabl! I understand the intrest in focusing first on “Revenue Sports,” but the AD should be able to multi task. fix this, NOW!!

The good news is that since he was used sparingly, this is a red-shirt year for him and has one additional year of eligibility.

it really doesn’t matter what they think.

Fixed it for you
