    Darian Mensah, Duke QB, could get poached by Miami for $7-$10 million for one year!

    I think that estimate probably includes millions that will be paid to Duke and/or a Duke booster holding Mensah's NIL rights to settle claims they might have for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, etc. Mensah isn't going to be getting it all.

    Hey legal guys, please weigh in on Darian Mensah

    Answer: first distinguish between personal labor and monetary enticements. 1. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution forbids enforced peonage. No court will force a person to work or labor when the person doesn't want to. Period ... with the exception of forced labor in prisons, and folks in...

    Hey legal guys, please weigh in on Darian Mensah

    Collective bargaining agreement in pro sports, none in college sports. It makes a world of difference.

    Ranking the Big Ten's quarterbacks from worst to first heading into 2025 (18. Drake Lindsey (Minnesota))

    Drake was a RS Freshman QB on a team that had the least rushing yards per game of any team in the B1G; a team that had a mixed-quality OL; a team whose top WRs had real trouble finding separation. Yet the team won 8 games, should have won 9 but for a DC debacle and unreliable K (NWern), and...

    QB Jackson Kollock will enter the portal.

    He'll be in his home state. That means a lot to some kids.

    What's the appropriate time to wait before hating Indiana?

    Some of his best players, even this year, are the "core" guys he brought over form JMU. No prima donnas. Played with a chip on their shoulders. Cig is going to get another good (great?) transfer QB this year, but I think he is going to lose that JMU base--which I believe was a unicorn assemblage...

    What's the appropriate time to wait before hating Indiana?

    Five minute showers ... that's a rule.

    What's the appropriate time to wait before hating Indiana?

    I hate Iowa much more. And Wisconsin. And Nebraska. My respect for what Indiana--not just its coach, but its leaders on the field--still as a long, long way to go before it can morph into hate.

    New Roster is up on Gopher Sports

    Couple of observations. Our only OL transfer, Bennett Thompson from Tennessee, was listed in the portal as 6’7” 325; on the roster he is 6’6” 290. Unless he is really athletic, he might be a depth piece. We got a lot of 6’6” 320+ guys on the roster who know our system. The new DTs: Nate Crowder...

    The Indiana Hoosiers now have more National Titles in college football than the Wisconsin Badgers

    Who wins the National Championship: Indiana or Miami?

    Oregon made so many mistakes and turnovers, giving Indiana several short fields. If Miami can hold onto the ball and minimize drive-killing mistakes, I think it will be a close game. If Indiana plays clean on offense and forces some turnovers on defense, Miami could find itself in the spin dry...

    Fleck Announces Changes, Additions to Coaching Staff, Limegrover is Back!

    Limey called a great game against Michigan .., until all those time-eating shifts on the last play. Should have spiked the ball and given things some thought. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Darian Mensah, Duke QB, could get poached by Miami for $7-$10 million for one year!

    If some booster of Miami wants to burn $10M for …what? Let him burn his money. What is the ROI? Elevated jock-sniffer status???

    Kind of surprised that Kollock hasn't landed somewhere yet.
