Dan was also painstakingly trying emphasize the point that the Vikings inevitably swing like a pendulum back and forth on "style" of head coaches, and now wondering if the same will be true for GM. We had a "football guy" in Rick Spielman. Then we went with a Wall Street analytics "outside the...

Ben Goessling was on with Dan on Fri and specifically addressed why he and actual legitimate reporters like Seifert, Shefter, etc. aren't reporting things like above. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure ........ Dan Rotman? Who TF is that? .... is a stand up guy. That is gossip. That is not news...

FY 2023-24: - total revenues $151.1M - total expenses $152.6M FY 2024-25: - total revenues $163.6M - total expenses $161.2M The 24-25 report created a new expense label for "Institutional NIL Revenue Share" in anticipation of this quickly becoming one of the largest expense line items in the...

What "problem" does this "solution" solve, for that top 25%, out of curiousity? I say that those top 25% programs have things pretty damn good right now. Just like the top teams in the EPL have things pretty damn good. They seem basically to be the same model, to me. Other than EPL has hard...

Personally, just on the breaking the contract front -- I think the much better answer is to punish the player. Sure, go right ahead, break your contract. And then you're ineligible next season. If the school, conference, player ignore that ... then you revoke their wins and any championships...

Apologies that I don't quite follow what you're getting at here, but Duke went on record saying they worded the contract like that because they were afraid if they had instead put a buyout clause with a price of say $3M that some school like Miami would just come along and say "Pfft, I keep that...

So what did we decide? Coyle is due a nice pat on the back for not overspending the hefty checks that the Big Ten conference is giving Minnesota simply because they believe -- for now -- that every conference team deserves an equal share of league TV revenue? If he did overspend ... and that...

Keeping in mind that the "extra" five games you're quoting here to get to 40 is because of five meaningless bowl wins. Yep, they're wins. Just like beating Northwestern State and Eastern Illinois are wins. Practically .... let's say it really was 40 regular season wins over 2021-25, so 8 per...

I never said anything like SEC is right and Gophers are wrong. I agree 100% that the SEC has been worse at scheduling P4 teams than the Big Ten. That said, the SEC is surging ahead with its mandate that all conference teams must schedule 10 P4 games going forward. The Big Ten must respond in...

The game winning throw -- don't get me wrong, amazing catch as well -- against Penn State never happens if it's Rourke.

Now the real thing is Miami cheating. Not just tampering ... but they're going to (try to) cheat the rules saying that their buyout has to count against next year's rev share cap.

OK? So? Duke said they did that because they were afraid if they put in a real number for a buyout clause .... that exactly what happened, would happen. And it happened anyway. BUT, the kid at Washington didn't get to leave. So, there's some hope that we can slap down these absurd athletes...

Let's try it this way, trying to aim it back at the OP: does anyone here feel that great that Fleck has averaged 7 regular season wins over 2021-2025 seasons?

The slightly more correct thing: all the teams listed likely have very similar percentage of P4 teams played. That's probably reasonable. It does not prove a SOS though, no more than saying "all NFL teams play 100% other NFL teams" does. Yes, It's on my to go calculate it. Apologies that I...

I like your post here. The second paragraph I think is just plainly true, and it's very similar to things I've said. Especially for some FCS and most DII, DIII level NCAA schools. They'll drop varsity athletics before they'll comply with making varsity athletes (full-time, as they would have to...

Bold: the words of your statement are true, so long as you acknowledge that "routinely" actually means that the NCAA is batting around 0.500 lately, which is true. It's not at all a thing where the NCAA is getting blown out of the water. They're losing some for sure, but also winning some.

I doubt they're available to look up, I'd have to write the python code from the dataset. Too lazy and not enough time. Otherwise I would :)

The Big East only gives its teams a paltry amount per year compared to the Big Ten. Our report said we got $63M from the Big Ten for the 2024-25 fiscal year. I'm guessing that's up to $80+M for this year and may be on the way up to nine figures. Does the Big East even give $10M per school? I...

I'm not sure it's really that interesting that over half of the 73 wins against teams that average fewer than 3 P4 wins per year. I made that up .... but it's definitely believable. What's the real number? And how do our peer programs in the Big Ten do?
