Yet another disfunctional element. At this point I can only assume that the NCAA is completely toothless. Major college athletics could not possibly be more ****ed up.

I'm not sure that's correct.

Cignetti did an unbelievable job. That team was extraordinarily well coached. They do everything well, they are extremely disciplined and highly motivated. Putting all that in place takes great leadership. That all being said, it took a great coaching staff to assess all that talent, get it...

With this much roster change I think four things are critical in order to have any type of success next season: 1) The talent that has been brought in has the experience to be effective out the gate. 2) Candle has brought in a staff that is familiar with his system and can implement it...

lol! Yes, meant Mendoza. If Cignetti can't move this morning it's because he had more than one beer after the game 😉

I wonder if Cignetti can even move this morning. That kid took a pounding last nigth. Gritty performance.

Great game. So happy for Indiana fans. ……but I have no idea what constitutes pass interference anymore. The refs were consistent all game, but my god!

That anyone would be surprised by this amazes me. Major college athletics have absolutely nothing at all to do with academics. These kids, for all intents and purposes, are paid professional athletes. Using the term "student athlete" for them is total and utter fiction. It's a marketing...

We lost a lot on the offense, not the least of which was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country in JF. Not realistic to think that we will see that level of play next season from kids who, if nothing else, simply will not have the same level of experience under center. That...

I remember that. It was truly sad.

I thought he had some talent as a QB, but under P and GDL he never had a chance. He must know the game pretty well given the coaching positions he’s landed.

Yes, it will be. This season is exaserpated by the coaching change, but the overall turnover of college rosters in general is going to impact fan interest and loyalty. Interestingly, last night I believe they stated that Oregons number three RB did not play in the CFP opting to go into the...

What Cignetti has accomplished is nothing short of historic. If he sustains anything like this level of success for an extended period folks will be saying "Nick who?......" Assuming that the accounts of his practice efficiency are accurate allowing for a life balance among players and...

I think that's entirely possible. You can easily see a scenario where wealthy donors pull back in a down economy or in a down stock market. I bet these programs are making some multi-year commitments without sourcing the multi-year funding. That certainly appears to be the case with coaches.

The SEC and BiG are going to throw huge dollars at player acquisition and retention. This is still early in the process and the big SEC schools are not going to let tallent get away. In my opinion, none of it is sustainable in the long run. I don't know how you build a sustainable business...
