    Thoughts on Kenny Minchey

    Yep and Ryan Williams at Bama was only 17 all of last year. You're spot on, there are a lot of NCAA eligibility rules that have not yet been tested, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. It feels like the momentum is all moving towards nullifying all of these rules (it's hard to...

    Thoughts on Kenny Minchey

    The NFL is collectively bargained for by the union. The USMC's age is deemed "reasonable".

    Thoughts on Kenny Minchey

    If HS football became similar to professional sports - probably (unless congress steps in). As crazy as that sounds, we are seeing professional basketball players return to NCAA. The way things are right now, I don't know if the NCAA would win in a lawsuit if they tried to stop someone from...

    Thoughts on Kenny Minchey

    The test as to whether a rule that limits the amount of money someone can make (restraint on trade) is reasonableness. Courts have routinely rejected things like preserving traditional college athletics as "reasonable" reason to restrain trade (stop someone from making money). Note - none of...

    Amateur college football is dead. Professional college football is alive and thriving.

    Honest question (and I'm not being argumentative), but why don't you believe the numbers? I've heard a number of people say this and I just don't know why the numbers wouldn't be true. Winning at football is clearly lucrative for schools, you'd think teams would pay to win more football games...

    Nick Rallis to Gophers?

    I'd take him in a heartbeat, he is widely considered a top coach.

    When Did Players Lose The Skill of Shooting a Basketball?

    Yep, he doesn't look like he's shooting, it looks like he's thinking about how to shoot.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NORTHWESTERN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yep, I was hoping for a shooter who wouldn't be a massive liability elsewhere. He is actually just a good basketball player who happens to be a good shooter.

    Reynolds was fantastic on Saturday, he was the player of the game, but I had absolutely no idea Grayson Grove had that in him.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NORTHWESTERN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    To be honest, it takes a commitment to the offense in a way that can be frustrating when you don't have the pieces. If you have a good guard (Willis, Carr, Mason, etc.) it can be tempting to go with a weave and a high pick and roll. That kind of offense is needed in moments, but when it's all...

    All Things Cedric Tomes Recruitment Thread (2026 Guard, East Ridge HS, Commits to Gophers)

    I can't find a ton of footage of him playing, so in the limited games I've seen, I really like him as a prospect. I say this as a compliment, but he is your typical athletic project big. Frankly, if he was consistently as good as his best moments, he wouldn't be coming here. He has flashes...

    What do we value?

    Yep, I used to care. Now, it's a plus I suppose. I care about it as much as I care about the character of the players on the Vikings or whatever TV show I'm currently streaming. It's all professional now.

    Tony Nelson will be back next year.

    He looked so good at the end of the year I didn't know whether to be annoyed he didn't play more or excited we had another competent OL. Stoked to have him coming back!

    How did Indiana go from zero to hero?

    It's like everything. They made the right hire and they had some things fall into place. I'm not going to call it luck because those things don't fall into place unless they have done the legwork. As far as the money goes, I don't think those efforts would have had any legs if they went 4-8...

    Welcome back! I'm hoping for a resurgence like Elijah Spencer had in year 2.

    Gophers plan to hire Isaac Fruechte and Mo Ibrahim as assistant coaches

    With the new rules on eligibility, I'm expecting Mo to be a player/coach.

    All Things 2025 Playoffs and Bowl Thread

    I get that but we're sort of conflating two things. Nike has the "brand" deals with schools. Phil Knight also gives a ton of money to help fund Oregon's NIL - specifically. One poster argued that Phil Knight has a tremendous ROI into that NIL fund I understand the return on brand deals. I'm...
