Still not great, UA is not in as good of shape as they were, and that’s a huge hit. Paid big $ for the hoops coaches and even though those two teams win more than we do, I don’t believe that either one covers their actual expenses once you get the NIL money accounted for.
I think Washington was costing them 2 1/2 million this year but I could be wrong. A few other donors were very happy to give up the extra coin to keep him, but it was kind of an ultimatum to ML that he better win this year.

Oh, for sure, he’s terrible. I know more inside information than probably anybody else on this board about him, but he was definitely a terrible candidate and his comments to the local coaches immediately after being hired prove that he is not a smart human being.

Four picks for Washington. I wonder if he doesn’t fake an injury or something later in the season. He can’t risk hurting himself for the big payday He will get from a different school next year.

Buffalo, Marshall both losing early. Smh

based on last night’s Northwestern showing, I’m thinking a L next week, at Cheatskunks and another at Washington.

We'll learn a lot the next few weeks but as good as Northwestern has looked the last couple weeks I'm not so sure this is a great/elite Indiana team either. Hoover is meh IMO

The UA founder has been shedding some high-end personal assets recently.

The Florida score shocks me--not that they're going to win but that it was easy(ish)
