Might be the reason but testing, as infrequent and ineffective as it is, applied to all schools and I'm not aware of any study that showed they were using steroids more than any other team.

I don't think there's much difference in S&G coaches and I'll explain why. When Tom Osbourne was coach at Nebraska his teams were said to be the best trained and conditioned in college football. When Solich took over they didn't change S&G coaches but you never heard anything about Solich's...

This would be my guess also. I'll try to find out in the next couple of months. I do believe he may be an extraordinary talent because of the multiple ways he can be deployed but if he doesn't want to be here let him go.

Went to IU........his Dad went to tOSU

Yes, about Mendoza and tOSU out-coached. See roster talent ratings in other post

tOSU.....3 Indiana U....72 IU leading going into the fourth quarter. https://247sports.com/season/2025-football/collegeteamtalentcomposite/

Any $$ we MAY have given him should be returned. After reviewing all the posts on this thread about all is I see is conjecture as related to the events of the past 24 hours .........a lot of "ifs","buts", "mays" and "mights."

Yes, but just because a person graduated from a school and becomes a billionaire doesn't mean he or she will give any to the school and certainly not the athletic program. Like I said before if Harvard alums wanted to buy the best team in the country they probably could because of the massive...

Not sure what it means and certainly some numbers don't make sense with TAM paying about 1/4 what Oregon pays and about 1/2 of what UT pays. There may be 2 kinds of NIL payments. Just don't know. But this does confirm what some coaches have said....that is that Oregon pays the most...or at least...

This shows NIL per player for the highest paid rosters. According to this Oregon pays the most per player. I assume this means the average of every player on the roster...

I've read that of all positions HS CB's are the most difficult to evaluate. Not sure of the reason.

This..... Please quit making things worse by judging him and/or his family without knowing all the facts. Let CJH handle it.

No. As I posted previously ... Kirby Smart and Chip Kelly have both said nobody will outbid Oregon if they want a player bad enough. That's probably correct since Phil Knight ($44 billion) is an avid booster and Steve Ballmer's ($118 billion) wife was an Oregon cheerleader and is on the...

Is this the best site for info? https://247sports.com/season/2026-football/transferportal/

A few recruiting tidbits. Pavia said Vandy has more NIL money than UT. Don't know if he's correct but do know he said it. Kirby Smart and Chip Kelly have both said nobody will outbid Oregon if they want a player bad enough. That's probably correct since Phil Knight ($44 billion) is an avid...
