Wisconsin and Iowa are no better off with NIL and they aren't going to be. They, along with all of the west (aside from Nebraska - for now), are in the same problematic boat that will not be solved by a change at captain.

If Troy was throwing around the most money in NIL per player, in five years they would be a CFB Playoff contender.

Yup, CFB has a major problem on their hands with the NIL and easy transfers. The only way to fix NIL is to cast aside amateurism, be a paid league with shared revenue, and prioritize paying players over non-revenue college sports. Until then, this is going to get worse and asking fans to pay...

Yup. I'll excuse defensive staff exploits some grace for one game. The longer it continues past that though... nope.

Inexperience at defense was exploited in both losses. That's unfortunate but expected as well. I'm still a believer in Rossi.

Swapped out Tyler for Evans.

This is probably true though.

False. He had 10 carries last game.

Here's the 247 starter ratings for this week. Rules: 1 - www.ourlads.com is used for the starters. 2 - This is starting 11 only on both sides. If more than 11 are listed, I try to be fair when removing. When it's obvious that a player will not be playing, I slot in the next depth player or...

Thanks for this site. Interesting comparisons. https://www.on3.com/nil/rankings/

Yup. I feel like predicting a 30-14 loss is rather kind to the Gophers this year.

Actually, starters-wise, Northwestern had more offensive talent and the Gophers had more defensive talent. I imagine that overall it's a wash. Minnesota has averaged 85-86 in 247 ratings I believe, but I'd have to look up the entire data of the whole team to get an actual number. Overall...

Right, my focus was more on the fact that they have won many many World Series. The mlb changed to revenue sharing in 1996, and that has helped the small markets. Baseball still has money problems. I like the most recent changes this year, but that's for a different forum...

Not good enough.

Yup. Thus, why I'm for parity.

Good luck having a coach get those 4s & 5s without NIL$.

I so much want to agree with this, but I'm afraid I cannot. If there are any Twins fans on this board, how many of them have wanted the Pohlads to open their checkbook? When the payrolls are the same, you get parity, when the payrolls are different, you get the Yankees. Edit: I'm not saying...

Incorrect. #1 - NIL has absolutely changed the face of amateur sports, particularly CFB. All high school recruits are well aware that they can get money and benefits today. While there were bag men and deals under the table, the face of CFB was all about amateurism before NIL. I'd argue...
