    “Source: Cignetti's salary now averages $13.2M through 2033”

    Don't underestimate the commitment of a billionaire to their program. As long as Cuban is engaged, they are not going to be the "losingest" Power 4 Program moving forward. In the absence of Cuban's commitment, Indiana probably loses Cignetti and probably wouldn't have been able to pay the...

    I appreciate what you are saying from the standpoint of a fan of college football. It sucks from a fan standpoint that players have no loyalty to the school and they are going to the highest payor. However, from a player's standpoint, the old ways sucked for them. They were working what...

    If you are a student who works in the School library and gets paid by the school, that does not make you less of a student. Same for the football players, they just get paid a lot more because their services are more valuable. What makes someone a student is whether he or she attends classes...

    Why does it matter if they are amateurs or professionals? I am a fan of the PSU football team regardless of whether the players are getting paid or not. What stinks right now about College Football is that there are no guardrails around the money being spent and appears to be giving the...

    I think Grunk deserves his own thread....

    You cannot be serious. Franklin's departure from PSU was not handled with class by Franklin and he burned bridges on his way out. As could be seen from his demeanor after the UCLA and Northwestern loses, he checked out after the loss to Oregon and the team followed his lead. He refused to take...

    Every team has to spread NIL money amongst their entire roster. This is not a problem specific to PSU. If good players are leaving, that should increase the NIL available to incoming players.

    I hope we haven’t blown our $30 million already. I haven’t seen one recruit where we can say “holy sh&t, I cannot believe we got that guy.” Either we don’t have as much NIL money to spend as we were told or we are spending a lot of money on players without much hype. I understand that hype...

    Agreed. I thought we were going to be a lot more involved with top prospects, especially given the fact that we do not have slew of top players that we are paying to keep in house. It seems outside of Iowa State players, we are not in the conversation with top prospects. Makes me wonder...

    Check back in 3 years and see if Indiana's blue-chip ratio is 8% and they are still enjoying the same success as they are currently. If this is the case, then I will agree, Indiana is not a unicorn and Cignetti is an absolute savant at identifying non-blue-chip talent. If either of the...

    The rules in the NFL aren't being broken so why do you think a similar set of rules will be broken by Colleges?
