Yep. With NIL and portal, coaches at big schools are even admitting that the kids don't care whatsoever about loyalty or thinking past one semester. If anything, having an embedded culture is the least you can ask for these days. I'm just fine with PJ

This is what I'm thinking. Smith could make huge NIL money going to a blue blood for a year.

These days the portal can fix WR room overnight. Next!

This is what happens when our AD refuses to pay our staff more. Our talented coaches leave and PJ is forced to pick a guy like Danny Collins. I’m usually hesitant to overly blame coaches but my goodness

PJ is right

That sweet, sweet, sweet Nike money helps in more ways than just recruiting and weight rooms. Also, this "Oregon identity" has been humming on all cylinders for like 20 years now. You witnessed an elite, top 10 national program's game day experience. I'm quite jealous, I've heard Eugene is...

For a fringe composite 5 star, his offer list is oddly short. Also, no offers from in-state IU or ND. I'd imagine once this news starts to get out some others will make a run at him.

100% this. UMN doesn't have any notable alumni with f-you money who actually care about college football. This is what matters. It's irrelevant how many Fortune-500 companies Minnesota has, or much wealth is concentrated in the metro area, or how well, P4P, we punch above our weight...

Collins has been most disastrous part of the season IMO. Too much talent on D (relatively buy Gopher standards) for some of these terrible performances

Yep. Some of the bigger JUCO's used to be loaded with talent. Now those guys don't need that year anymore

Yep. All that needs to be said. Harbaugh is who he is.

You're only as good as your coaching staffs. PJ has lost way too much coaching talent over the last few years and eventually it just gets impossible to reload and replace these guys every single year. We (and PJ) have been complaining about not paying our assistants enough for years. We are near...

24-21 Gophers

PJ has his own philosophy (one game championship seasons) that fits his coaching framework and approach with his team. That's fine, it works for him, but if many (or most) other coaches agree that momentum is important, are they wrong? I also don't think that PJ's "0-0 in the Cal season"...

To contrast Cal I think we go all whites, or maroon/white/white

Agreed, but I doubt that happens now with B1G and SEC shuffling their non-con's to avoid having high-risk, low-reward games with non power teams. For example, I heard today that NDSU only has one power 4 game in the next several years lined up, nobody wants to schedule them.

Not an argument

Congrats on engaging with the argument

I think I've read somewhere that the majority of the Big Ten has higher endowments than the top 3 or 4 SEC schools. Also bigger alumni bases and overall more money. It's only a matter of time before the landscape shifts.

Yep, he was their meal ticket. OK State is in no-man's land and they have a wild identity crisis. Their fanbase thinks they should be the team from 15 years ago so there's a crazy amount of pressure on the program but it's just not feasible. Also I'm sure a lot of the Texas and Oklahoma talent...
