Even better is the fact that Narduzzi is getting absolutely gutted. That puts a smile on this guy's face! What a loser.
His best LB is going to Texas... His best Dlineman to OSU and $20 says Narduzzi will still complain about Notre Dame
At some point you would think rich guys would tire of throwing money at 20 year olds so their alma mater can win like nine games instead of seven, and the market will stabilize. But who knows. There's a lot of rich guys.
Spot on. If the OSUs of the world kept their roster year over year and got to grab the best players from the MAC, this stays as is forever. Once the established, top programs see their business models threatened, I think you’re going to see folks like Saban / Alabama look for ways to “save” the sport. Something like a super league along the lines of what European soccer teams tried.
Oh this is my favorite cynical/tinfoil hat theory: The SEC has seen their advantage (willing to pay players when most other people weren't aka, cheating) taken away so they will push hard for new rules that everyone must follow so they can then..... cheat at the new rules to win again.

Yeah, the OL part is really important. Because this was basically the read on Texas before last year started.
Yep, it took a while for that OL to gel but they were devoid of any resemblance of a running game with Manning being their top running threat. Baxter did another disappearing act and just looks vastly overrated at this point as well as injury prone, so they significantly upgraded that RB room.
Ironically I think Arch is underrated right now. He played a lot better when the line gelled at the end of the year and he wasn’t running for his life
Despite the stats, I was impressed seeing him live against Georgia. Super quick release.
Yep, pretty simple logic with these schools such as IU, Texas and Texas Tech. All of those schools value production OVER potential in the portal and it's paying huge dividends.
It's paying dividends for IU. The other schools, we'll see.
I think it's fair to say that it's paying off for Texas Tech as well... That program is nowhere near where it is now with the transfer portal, NIL and Campbell's ability to spend millions to buy a competitor.
