@Huskie1970@vinjkot@On3@AriWasserman It's a no win with NIL. You don't allow it and certain schools pay anyway giving them an unfair advantage. As for transfer portal I hate it being open. There should be contracts for 2 years and if you leave you should have to sit out for the remainder of the contract.
@Huskie1970@vinjkot@On3@AriWasserman I agree NIL is a game changer, but it really had little to do with IU going 27-2 the past 2 years. IU wasn't even top 10 in NIL with zero 5 stars and very few 4 stars. The JMU guys & development were the key factors. Mendoza was really good, but nobody foresaw that type of year.
@Huskie1970@vinjkot@On3@AriWasserman When you win at IU, win just about every coaching award 2 years in a row and the top assistant award, I think it's a pretty safe bet. Do you think any other coaches could do what Cig has the past 2 years? Serious question.
@vinjkot@Huskie1970@On3@AriWasserman 27-2 the past 2 years, returning 10 starters, got a top portal class and a better recruiting class than last year, not to mention the best coaching staff in the country. I think IU will be ok.
@IndySports If he had the defense IU has now his team would have gone undefeated and he would have won the Heisman. He was so fun to watch. Like Barry Sanders at QB.
NEWS: Big Ten officials are expected to discuss in the upcoming days a league-wide mandate to not play Texas Tech in any sports, per three Big Ten sources. This is in the wake of Nebraska AD Troy Dannen informing his staff today that they aren't allowed to schedule Texas Tech.
@DomoReacts First: you're wrong.
Second: the only record that matters is IU under Cignetti, which is 27-2. No recruit will care about any history from before Cignetti & his staff. How much will you pay? Can you develop me into an NFL player? When can I get on the field? Are you staying?
@landofthe80s The Delorean is the only answer if it is a functioning time machine.
K.I.T.T. if functional is second.
If neither works like the fictional car the the Ferrari followed by the General Lee.
@Noles_Boi This doesn't mean as much as it used to. IU the past 2 years has gone 27-2 without a 5 star and maybe 1 or 2 four stars. If you get a coach with an eye for talent and the ability to develop, you'll win. Recruiting services are clueless.
