@DaBearNecess The Bears have played IN the city for 100 years. Jets played in Queens for 20 years, Giants in upper Manhattan for 30, Yankee Stadium for 18. Giants moved to Jersey in ‘76, Jets in ‘84.
Bears are 1 of 2 founding teams of the league still active. Legacy is definitely different
@JohnMassingale4 Not saying I agree with the placement either way but I think there is an element of ranking them within the context of the sport/season here. I’d say they’re up there - maybe not #2 but close - even though I think other teams are better and would beat them, like 2024 OSU.
College athletic departments are rolling out new-look third-party arms by the day.
But in a world of "Clemson Ventures" and "Champions Blue, LLC," it begs a simple question: What do these organizations actually do?

@otmar345@jawja987 Only one of those games was Miami penalized more - against SMU
Miami vs GT 2023
GT 11 penalties for 67 yards
Miami 6 for 80 (shoulda taken the knee)
Miami vs VT 2024 (this ending was so crazy)
VT 6 for 40
Miami 6 for 59
Miami vs SMU 2025
SMU 4 for 40
Miami 12 for 96
@zach_seyko Avg. NIL figure has little to do with what schools actually pay. Each individual’s valuation is a combo of Roster Value (think program prestige, positional value, historical marketplace data) and NIL Value (brand, social, media exposure).

Bill Raftery: “Is that different than a wedgie in New York?”
Eagle: “It’s drier.”
These guys are just the best.
