    Sacramento State paying $23M to move to FBS, join MAC

    This is the specific way they validated the move to the MAC: “A study commissioned by the university projected that transitioning to FBS will generate an economic impact of approximately $975 million for the Greater Sacramento region over five years.” This is probably using some quasi-economic...

    Kafka to Lions who retained JON

    Still, he seems to be doing well. It just doesn’t seem right. Why do some coaches thrive in the NfL who show little ability to coach in college while other coaches thrive in college who don’t do well in the NFL? I’m not asking for a dissertation, but just something that can make me understand...

    Kafka to Lions who retained JON

    I was reading about Kafka going to the Detroit Lions as an unspecified highly ranked offensive assistant (what a title!). This was after rumors of him turning down positions at Kansas City and Philadelphia. But what really caught my eye was that the Lions retained Jim O’Neil who was a candidate...

    Embarrassing...

    Pont was the fall guy. He was actually a really nice man. Pont started coaching at Miami of Ohio and is in the HOF of both Miami and Indiana. He was NCAA Coach of the Year in 1967 when he won the Big Ten title at Indiana (finishing 9-1 in the regular season) and was the first coach to take...

    It could have been us

    Has everyone forgotten already that we were in the mist of a scandal 2-3 years ago? We were not going to get a ton of talent. We were not going to get a famous alum investing into NIL. We were not going to get a highly talented coach to leave a successful program to come to our school. If Braun...

    Congratulations to the Hoosiers. They show the way

    Indiana has just made the job of every power 4 school even more difficult because you now have every fan base expecting to be able to have a National Championship in two years. I like the fact that it has been 3 different Big Ten teams in three years. I hope that trend continues.

    Three years in a row for the BIG

    Ok. One last time. Indiana had 3NC 5 B1G home 4 B1G away. The Big Ten schedules for all Big Ten teams have not been announced. In the projected schedules, it will list home games before away games in alphabetical order. The actual order and dates will be announced in the spring.

    Portal Losses Thread

    The U will have to pay a lot for player retention besides what they pay for portal players. But I for one hope Olsen gets as much as possible. He played well for us and I don’t wish him any ill will. We got a good replacement with a strong leg. So it’s a win-win.

    Embarrassing...

    I don’t think one season would make things embarrassing, if we turned out mediocre this year. What would be is if the program took a step back (not getting to a bowl) after going after a high profile OC and a QB that has played in the Big Ten who has shown good accuracy and good running ability...

    Mississippi State RB transfer Seth Davis is all in on Northwestern

    The closing of the portal is for player entries. Schools can still get commits from players in the portal and players on Indiana and Miami can enter the portal Jan 20-24. Things have been a bit quiet for us, though. I’m hoping that there is a surprise announcement coming.

    Over/under 1.5 wins for Pat Fitzgerald at Michigan State against Northwestern

    I am not one who usually defends opposing QBs but I don’t understand why everyone seems to think Milojevic is a bad QB. Chiles (RS-Jr), completed 63% of his passes, averaged 10.8 yards/completion, had 10TD, and 3 INT for a 134 rating. Milojevic (RS-Fr) completed 64% of his passes, averaged 11.4...

    Fitz to Michigan State

    Truthfully, I really don’t care what that team does other than lose to us. If they find success or not is a very very minor factor for me other than I appreciate what Fitz did here so I hope he is successful (just not overly successful that their program outshines us).

    Fitz to Michigan State

    MSU is trusting their season on the guy who replaced Chiles. His arm looked just as good, he has 3 years of eligibility, and he played well for them. They also have a 4-star coming out of high school. I think that other QB that they got from the portal is meant as a back-up. They really had too...

    The downside for student-athletes in the portal era

    I don’t remember how it ended but I remembered Vassar announced his transfer but there was that “sitting out a year” that would have put him in limbo, so he stayed. I think they tried to change his scholarship to an internship and there were allegations of falsification of his time card. He sued...

    Nice job Bears! Not a Bears fan, didn't grow up in Chicago, but always rooted for you while I was there! Link

    Bill Belichick managed it for years.
