Not sure what shade of brown has to do with anything. It should be about value to the team and not based on factors such race (we’re all human), color (we’re all brown). Cosches who’s salary depend on winning don’t care about shade. They care about performance and locker room fit. Oi vey!

I do not want to infringe on rights. Nor should taxpayers and students subsidize salaries of millionaires if they don’t choose to. Run football like a business with constraints like any business.

Vanderbilt @ Tennessee Nov 39, 1985 Everything just seemed so big and bright!

Not as we know it. I don’t know the solution but thinking college football is where athletes earn life money is not the answer. College is about preparing young people to contribute, serve, earn (in that order). If they contribute and serve, the earning will take care of itself over a life...

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.

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...

My thoughts based on ChatGPT feedback: 1. It’s Indiana’s coaches being strategic and maximizing limited funds that’s made this team a Championship contender. This includes targeting gaps, developing players, game time Xs/Os. 2. The landscape of college football is changing and dollars will take...

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