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?

Should only get to count wins against P4, and then should also have a number next to it about the average number of P4 wins of those opponents (ie. a SOS metric). Counting "wins" against Northwestern State and Eastern Illinois types programs? 🤮

Why does Coyle get credit for the Big Ten signing a larger TV deal and then giving equal shares of that to every conference team (except Wash/Oregon I believe, for now) ?? I don't think that has a single thing to do with Coyle?

The OL collapsed the last two games. They were terrible. So bad in fact that Bradbury, Ingram, and firmer interior starter Ezra Cleveland were starting this year for playoff teams and Bradbury will be starting in the Super Bowl. Nevertheless, Darnold held the ball so long that he was sacked...

KOC's playcalling was so bad during the 2024 season ..... that the Vikings won 14 games with Darnold. 🤡🤡🤡

Have you considered that the bulk of the money that pays for the revenue sharing is coming from additional TV revenue from the Big Ten conference, and the conference is simply not going to allow any of its schools to "tank" their football programs in the way you're suggesting? For all we know...

Because with Mendoza they beat @ Iowa by 5, @ Oregon by 10, and @ Penn State by 3. Without the Heisman winner, they lose those three games. It's really not rocket science.

Gophers have House money and whatever else DTA can come up with. But since most other P4 have the House money too, that's just going to rapidly drive up the price for good QB's in the portal. How do you propose that a program like ours attracts and affords a QB in the portal at the level of...

Darn, I thought you might actually give this one a crack @Pompous Elitist ... you were so certain before. Oh well. Like I said, no one has the answer to this one, yet

The training table has a plethora of butter options

Mendoza won the Heisman trophy and will go #1 in the NFL draft. There is no need to pretend that their 2025 season wasn't 99% about him being an incredible player.

Head football coach at Minnesota is a good gig. - Multi-millionaire, and you can slap whatever personal slogan you want on the helmet, signs, etc. and keep the money from that (FULLY granted that it's for a great cause and charity) - play teams like Northwestern State in non-conf and count...

OK Thanks Other than it's only a P4 now, not a P5. P4 + highest G6

As I said, how is it possible under current law to allow employment ... just for P4 football and basketball players, but not any other players in any other situation under the NCAA?? And if you make that happen ... minimum 95% of NCAA varsity athletics departments close shop. They can't afford...

:ROFLMAO: You acknowledge that lawyers only care about billable hours.

Did this guy really not notice the line immediately above? That's the entirety of the reason. So seems like a silly non-point to make

It will be part of the CBA. Rules are indeed needed still
