I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with? I never said they pulled in a top 20 class for transfers or high schoolers, so not sure why you thought that was relevant?

Ok then, so by your logic, what Dan Marino accomplished in 1984 wasn't that special because QB's today are easily hitting those numbers? The rule change is the precise reason for the success of Indiana, and rules changes are the precise reason why it's no big deal to put up almost 50 TDs and...

Kinda disagree here. Didn't the Florida Marlins pretty much buy their world series team? Granted, they gave up after one and went back to awful, but it's the same kinda turnaround. Valvano and the Wolfpack beating Houston was head and shoulders above what Indiana did. Now if Indiana did what...

Your post is fine, I just think you meant "disagree". ;)

@Pompous Elitist didn't do that. ...and yet you responded anyways.

I dunno, considering a lot of them occur in week 2 after opening the season against a solid opponent...kinda takes away from that theory. We were even talking on here about how Buffalo was a good MAC team. We should have scheduled Northwestern State in week one if we needed a "preseason" game...

Good one!!!!!!!

Iowa and Ohio State, probably even Oregon.

Now I'm not gonna look it up, but how many of those were just a "flash in the pan" kinda thing, without the consistency that we get with Fleck? Case in point, 2021 Michigan State. They are more recent than us, but I'm glad we didn't bring in Mel Tucker, get 11 wins, then deal with the mess...

Is that common in sports after high school? As a grown man, I'd have a hard time showing respect like that for someone unless it was reciprocated when I entered a room he was in.

What law school did you go to, just curious. Your posts on this have been great.

I thought the Bucky/Bucko thing came up before he had the chance to transfer. Like, once he started playing good enough to keep getting on the field, it seemed people started the nickname change. But he totally finished out the season with that nickname - if it would have bothered him I'm sure...

Yeah, it's better than saying we can't afford the portal as much as other teams so we have to rely on high school, but that's about it.

Me too. He or someone close to him, even said something about how it was about taking care of his mom because they lived somewhere poor, in Chicago I think?

Well once people quit watching and the tv money dries up...that's about all we can hope for.

Good read, thanks.

I was gonna click, but it's si.com so probably AI generated and with mistakes?

Good point, I forgot to consider that unlimited NIL won't make up for the difference in revenue sharing for a majority of the players.

I agree that the closest would be SEC and B1G together, but the players could easily threaten to jump to the ACC and make that the premier conference for college football. I don't really care to see a capped league though that spreads the losses around more evenly. I still like teams coming...

Not.Gonna.Happen. Why in the world would anyone think these athletes will voluntarily come together to limit their compensation???? This isn't the NFL, there is no group of owners that can lock the players out. If the B1G tries, all the talent goes to the SEC, etc. If the NCAA tries, how can...
