Should we be surprised at all that they are using fuzzy math to justify the spending? "Part of the argument from McIntosh and lawmakers supporting the bill came from a report from a 2022 marketing report from eConsult Solutions that claimed each UW-Madison football game brings $19 million of...

Isn't this the emptiest of all threats? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/48892111/with-expansion-argument-brewing-smart-hints-sec-secession If the SEC pulled out, they would only be a regional conference. No one on the national stage would even care about them anymore. I'd...

Carl Williams has had injury problems in college but ran a 10.49 100m in high school. Yikes! And I thought Koi was fast. It will be interesting to see how they line up these chess pieces for 2026. Jett could likely play linebacker or safety, Koi safety or a big nickel/hybrid linebacker role...

No Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan or Indiana so he's got the schedule to recover. No chance against Notre Dame, likely L's against Penn State (yes, I know they're down), USC, Iowa and...Minnesota!

I've never seen the Gophers as overmatched as they were vs. Iowa last year. It was ugly. Similar to the Gophers having a lot of guys make NFL teams from their 2024 squad, Iowa had seven guys drafted from their 2025 team and another six UDFAs! Yikes!!! Their QB, Mark Gronowski, was VERY...

I think it says a lot that Dante Moore came back for another season. I've never understood why people are so high on him. He has Oregon level talent at wide receiver running open by 5-yards on most plays. How can you really even tell how good he is? Drake Lindsey, on the other hand, is...

Best long jumper in the state too!

I always wonder if there was a 10 mph tailwind when they run these times, but he did place 5th as a 10th grader last year at 10.87 so 10.57 this year seems legit and he still has his senior year. Notice last year that he's the only sophomore in the top 9 and trailed the state leaders by a few...

I do not think Maverick Baranowski gets drafted. UDFA at best. I don't think he will test or measure well at all. Lack of speed is a major issue for him. He is an older (redshirt senior), high effort, high intelligence, maxed out college player. He reminds me of his coach, Mariano...

You must be younger than I am. I'm pretty sure my minor cost LESS than 5 beers at a bar nowadays!

Slow news day at ESPN! I can't believe this article made the front page or any page at all. That is literally the most shocking thing to me. Many, MANY, moons ago, I was at a party in a trailer park home and the police busted it. Yeah, I know...high end party. Anyway, it was pretty packed...

The B1G had 10, the SEC 7 and the ACC & Big 12 had 6 each. The big news to me is not just that the SEC has lost ground to the B1G, it's that they appear to have lost ground to the ACC and Big 12. Yes, I understand one year is a very small sample size, This is a shift, however, that will...

You might well be right. This will be an interesting follow!

North Dakota has only 800,000 people to split between two FCS teams. I highly doubt NDSU will be in play for the Big 12 any time soon. There just aren't enough people around. It seems to me they are capitalizing on their relatively recent success to move up the food chain one notch from top...

That is sickening for a team that makes no money. I agree that non-rev sports should be regional and/or club.

Right, it seems like Miami and Oregon are the most obvious schools throwing around money like it just doesn't matter - the Dodgers and Yankees. Maybe Texas Tech too. Any others come to mind? It seems like they are almost 100% likely to make the CFP next year too and Miami gets to keep most of...

Exactly! Treating Koi with respect and letting him play even though he was leaving shows other top recruits that you won't throw them under the bus if they play here for a couple years and decide to go someplace else...for considerably more money. Seems like a good business move by Fleck. If...

Right, the south did well when a certain group of people were paid a below market wage for their labor and that greatly benefited a much smaller group of people. Hmmm. That sounds familiar. Those people are now free to move north in much greater numbers to get at market wages. I think what...

The SEC became dominant when big money from TV started to flow in and having the best recruiting footprint mattered the most. Now, money matters the most. The B1G expanding towards the largest TV markets rather than recruiting footprints has proven to be a master stroke over time, but the SEC...

That's why something has to change - collective bargaining (most likely), spinning off the richest into their own conference (less likely because they like beating the poverty teams so why spin off away from them). I've said this before. I hope when the time comes that the U of MN has some...
