Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

I'll this one positive thought... With matchups set years out in a lot of cases, how many options did they really have to fill an OOC hole for next season? Granted, they didn't HAVE to drop UMASS, but is this really a major downgrade/upgrade?
You pointed out the problem in your question. They already had UMass - one of the worst FBS programs of all time until this year - scheduled along with fucking Kennesaw State and Jacksonville State. That is an abomination of an OOC slate, forgetting about whether they "need" to schedule better ones or not.

Login to view embedded media Its almost like Whittingham and Beck had no clue what kind of offensive talent they had when they took their positions. Neither RB fits what they've had success with in the past. And the WRs they paid a bunch for(Marsh and Ffrench) don't fit the scheme where they need to be solid blockers, and the threat of the run(there is none) is supposed to spring them free for deep passes. With the run not being able to succeed, the passing game becomes almost non existent. Its going to be a long season dealing with this offense, since Beck also needs to treat Underwood with kid gloves as well. He can't trust him to read defenses, and make his own reads, so every RPO has already been chosen when the play is called, that's missing the most important part of the RPO, the Option. It almost reminds me of the spread offense RichRod tried to implement, and could never get his players because he had too many remnants of Carr's teams. Ad that's where Whittingham is now, trying to fit a round peg in a square hole
Hey Klatt......how about you stfu and let them figure it out on their own

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

Multiple Power Four programs face College Sports Commission investigations over alleged NIL cap evasion​

Between five and 10 schools, including multiple College Football Playoff contenders, face scrutiny over third-party arrangements designed to skirt spending limits​

The College Sports Commission is investigating multiple Power Four programs for potential violations of college football's revenue-sharing and NIL rules, CBS Sports has learned.

Through public records requests, interviews and sources throughout college football, CBS Sports can report:

  • The CSC is currently conducting longer-term investigations of between five to 10 Power Four programs.

  • Among those programs are multiple College Football Playoff contenders. The CSC has been on campus at schools conducting interviews in person.

  • The CSC has focused on "potential cap evasion and NIL-related violations between institutions, student-athletes and certain third-parties," per public records.

  • These investigations of potential violations are not dissimilar from the NBA's investigation of the LA Clippers and Kawhi Leonard, where both struck deals with third parties to get around the salary cap. The CSC is looking into third-party deals that allow college football programs to skirt the rev share cap and rules.

  • Multiple sources believe the CSC participation agreement, which would have given the CSC additional authority and provided a barrier against legal intervention from the states, is very unlikely to ever be adopted.

  • No long-term investigation has been completed to this point. Some schools would like to see something done before the transfer portal window opens in January to serve as a warning to potential violators of the rules.
In a memo sent to university presidents, chancellors, athletic directors and other campus officials on Aug. 20, the CSC stated:

"The DOI is actively conducting multiple, longer-term investigations into potential cap evasion and NIL-related violations by institutions, student-athletes, and certain third parties. The CSC encourages anyone with relevant information to contact the DOI. Input from athletic department staff on recruiting practices, agent conduct, and questionable business proposals helps the CSC apply the rules fairly by bringing potential violations to light."

I'm even more sure than I originally was that Wittingham is just there to cash out before retirement and tsun brass knows it.

That was the deal, "you come and keep us out of the next half a billion dollar scandal for a few years, cash some fat checks and we don't really expect much on the field".

No doubt in my military mind as we used to say.
