Those of us who agree with coach Mack are sad because as the NIL/Portal concepts grows and erodes from what it was originally intended … so does the special feeling and loyalty people feel toward college sports and their school of choice. I lie somewhere between sad and disappointed by the...

Agreed the head coach at STMA kind of rubbed salt into the wound well after normal composure time after initial celebration. Maybe some history to that response that we don’t know of. From what they showed on TV only one girl chose to not have medal around her neck. She never refused but...

He has to be one of those guys who they look at game film. He is not going blow anyone away. I think he is kind of a Emmit Smith back who lets the whole develop. I've seen a lot of guys who are really fast that don't follow their blocks very well. Just on another subject. Do they ever...

He was successful at his previous stint. Also ... he will get noticed and probably out recruit a lot of schools like MN. We really have nothing to do with Deion but here we are talking about him during the off season. Nobody with other conference ties is talking about any of the coaches in...

I have only been hearing about these big NIL contracts football players have been getting. Maybe I just don't pay attention to other sports. However, wondering if that if affecting the basketball recruiting too. I am assuming that a bad record has a lot to do with Minnesota's situation ...

Huge advantage to the top teams having a bye. They should have eight or sixteen but not twelve. That would level the playing field a bit.

Just saying the same thing … if Ohio St doesn’t have those in game injuries they are probably the champs and in a similar fashion. TCU and the Vikings seem to be on a similar path.

I do too … i think he only student taught and didn’t actually have a regular teaching job.

It doesn’t really say. I suppose a coach has to keep recruiting their own players the way things have gone.

Do these guys just up and enter the transfer portal or do they tell the coaches ahead of time? Just was wondering if coaches get a chance to talk to a kid who they would like to stay or they just get surprised to hear about a kid leaving.

Georgia’s coach when asked why he didn’t sign a QB in this recent class …. Said why … the portal is full of QBs. I can get one anytime.

Not sure how accurate this is but here is a link for the top 100 in NIL deals: Look who is at #59 https://www.on3.com/nil/rankings/player/college/football/ Might be a reason a lot of these guys stay in school. A bunch of them may make more money in college than they will afterwards ????

Reminds me of Greg Oden an Ohio State center that was the first or second draft choice in the NBA that year. He was 19 or 20 and looked 50.

Interesting … it seems like a selling point to recruits if the Gophers ever get any NIL money to offer. You can tell my age. Had to look up what IIRC was 😀

Dont know if this has been touched on but do these athletes (male and female) have agents to help get them deals. I know somebody mentioned tax account to make sure they dont get in trouble with IRS. Or do schools provide this type of help in addition to the NIL money???

I remember them given a chance to lobbying on TV but not necessarily the Big Ten Championship game. I don’t think he asked to do it. He looked uncomfortable in his arguments. I think the network asked him to do it as not to lose viewers during halftime.

I’ve seen that before. Also he kept talking about playing top ten teams. LSU was overrated and will most likely drop out of top 20. Would have gotten beat by Texas if they don’t lose their starting QB in first quarter.

Late in the game .... the Wisconsin running back was injured ... They had no timeouts. I always thought that the offensive team would have a 10 second run-off in a situation like this. So is this just a rule for the NFL or was it something that was not enforced for some reason in yesterday's...

I think Fleck can sell this version of AK to wide receivers he is recruiting. Letting them know that the second half is what they want to do as their young QB matures.

I went back to look at the picture again ... look at the size of the football !!!
