Enter “What causes the sky to appear blue?” Into your favorite AI. Like I said, pretty incredible tool.

College football as we knew it is dead. There’s no longer any pretense about “school”. It’s fully pro league.

Those should be different pools of money completely. In reality, it seems to be one big blob. h/t Mike Benz

Great recruiters do whatever they need to fill a need. PERIOD.

AI is pretty incredible. A great starting point for resesrch. Then drop results on VN to refine (or get even more confused).

I agree and find this interesting. I fear we will not see a repeat of this type team. College football is being set up to be about the money. Champions will be the result of buying elite athletes. There will be a division of haves and have nots. Portal > Development Self > team

Funny, but I’m not. I’m just using whatever tools available to try and understand a complex and rapidly changing college football environment. I’m open to your input and sources.

I don’t think you and ChatGPT are far apart. You sound a bit more optimistic on Indiana dollars. Quite a bit.

That’s certainly an extreme (and great) example. Why did Miami get that result with that team? It’s important to understand. What are the odds a college football team with payroll in the bottom 30 percentile will win a National title or even a P4 conference championship? I want to hope for the...

May well be the last team this can be said of…

As a follow up, I asked ChatGPT if the Indiana model was sustainable? The short answer was YES, a program can survive, compete, and play bowl games. However, this model will not produce championships… In today’s landscape: Every national champion will have elite NIL backing Champions...

I asked ChatGPT “With consideration for current college football landscape of paying players via NIL, how would Indiana best be characterized? Example: A bought team of 5 stars elite athletes? A well-coached team of 3 and 4 star talent?” The feedback gives me hope!… In the current college...

The influence of outside subsidy money is just like Bidenomics, it’s inflationary. When the system is not constrained by typical business standards like you can’t spend more than the revenue you generate, $10M coaching salaries, $4M QBs, $2M WR/RB, and no financial parity (have or have not))...

What other industry is dependent upon begging other people (“billionaires”) to give their money so fans/people can be entertained? I’d like to hear from people who consider themselves to lean conservative and trust in capitalism. I understand the thinking of the rest.
