The avg age of the Indiana Hoosiers team is 23 years old.... For perspective the Green Bay Packers avg age this season is 25 years old.

So if they are 23 years old I assume they must be out of eligibility after this season, most of them. So Cignetti just reloads thru the portal with one and dones for next year. Is that the strategy? And now we have wealthy boosters trying to buy national championships. Eventually they will probably do away with the four years of eligibility rules and guys can just stay as long as they want since they can make more money in college than they would in the NFL or by actually having to get a real job. I don't see how this is all a sustainable model for success.

Yup pretty much is the strategy. They are doing very well in the portal again for next year.

A lot of people on here have been debating if Cignetti is a coaching strategy/development genius or just benefiting from a big payroll. Perhaps his biggest genius moment was realizing that if he has the oldest roster in college football he'll win a lot of games.

Will more teams go the route of underdog college hockey programs and just go for older rosters? It has worked well to level the field in college hockey to dethrone powers.

Older , smarter, football players with a chip on their shoulder. They love football and are looking at one last shot to make it to the NFL potentially by being at a P4 school.

Outstanding coaches that didn’t even look to leave for other schools, presumably.
