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...

Thanks, Gophergrandpa! Very interesting details. You helped me make some sense out of the morass! I wonder if Miami is not too worried about the financial implications of the mess they've helped create because they get to keep just about ALL of the money they earned being in the CFP. Adding...

Demond Williams was forced back to Washington because of his B1G contract. I have to imagine Duke's lawyers were smart enough to put together a solid contract too, right? https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/everything-know-about-duke-qb-darian-mensah-transfer-portal-controversy...

How about Tier 5: A really good coach from a slightly lower level gets a P2 job, brings his best players with him, and keeps most of the P2 team's best players, therefore doubling up on talent for a few years (plus an influx of $$$). Examples: JMU head coach and assistants to Indiana, Western...

The only problem with this take is I believe they now will have a very big influx of cash, not just from Mark Cuban, but from all the Indiana bandwagon fans that are coming out of the woodwork! They took over a stadium in Miami's back yard with some say 75% of the attendance. If they'll pay...

The ONLY thing between us and the CFP is A LOT MORE $!!!!

Good for him! He now has a much better chance to start and get actual game experience THIS YEAR! If he does well, everyone will have tape on him and he can transfer back up for more money. This seems like a much better strategy than sitting on the bench and getting no tape with the Gophers...

Well said!

I just had enough lack of discipline to read the last couple pages of multiple people arguing about nothing and realized: 1) I'm never getting those minutes back; 2) Although not this time, I'm frequently involved in debates like this; and 3) Where did I go wrong with my life?:unsure: I'm...

I agree with you. 247 top HIGH SCHOOL QB recruits: 2023 - Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, Dante Moore 2024 - Julian Sayin, DJ Lagway, Dylan Raiola 2025 - Bryce Underwood, Keelon Russell, Tavien St. Clair 2026 - Jared Curtis, Lamar Brown, Keisean Henderson 247 top TRANSFER PORTAL QB recruits...

I wasn't that impressed when I watched Moore play. Was it just me? He seems talented, but does not seem like that good of a QB yet. He seemed to benefit by being surrounded by so much talent. I can't believe he would have actually been drafted that high.

Maybe he just wants to play football? He took a shot at a B1G program and thought maybe he could be the guy sooner rather than later. He now knows that's not the case. He has more information now than he did as a high schooler. Riding the bench sucks especially for guys not used to it (like...

With these types of numbers getting thrown around, I’m even happier we were able to keep Drake and not surprised at all we lost Koi. https://balldurham.com/darian-mensah-decision-to-transfer-proves-duke-football-cannot-compete-with-elite

Good advice. Don't jump on the bandwagon and buy the jersey of the hot new kid, because he might be gone next year! Buy an established Gopher great jersey or the jersey of a senior...with no previous Jr college experience.😜

I agree. He can drop down a level and likely start and then come right back up to P4 if he's good and get a really big bag of money because teams will actually have tape on him. Seems logical to me.

Just wondering, how does this type of thing affect jersey sales in the future? Who wants to buy a player’s jersey when they could just leave the next year? Wouldn’t that make you more likely to buy generic team merchandise or nothing at all? In the past, if they were good young, you could...

Big Ten dunks on SEC in college football coaching carousel. That's the cold truth https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/big-ten-dunks-sec-college-171828053.html The above article opened my eyes to how good the coaching is likely to be in the B1G. “UCLA went the Group of Five route with Chesney...

Penn State is pulling a Cignetti and doubling up! No need to waste money paying 18-year olds when you can just raid all the best players from your last team!
