How has that not been the case forever in CFB and collegiate sports in general? It’s ALWAYS been the haves and have nots. We just happen to root for 1 of the haves. The 12teamCFP has just allowed a few teams like Boise State and SMU and Arizona State to make a cute appearance. But none were ever going to win the NC. And OSU and even ND would’ve curb stomped those teams by multiple TDs.

This is what everyone misses. You pay Savion Hiter $800K, you have to pay Bo Jackson $1M…then James Peoples $1.2M…then Quincy Porter needs a raise…and so on. Day is building a culture that will having staying power. We aren’t losing top end talent to the Transfer Portal…I believe this is how a dynasty can be built in the evolving space of NIL.

This is all going to go the way of MLB in my opinion. There's going to be the LAs and New Yorks that can just out spend everyone and have the best talent every year. And there's going to be some schools that spend a lot less and have to develop the heck out of their rosters.

Occasionally one of those non spenders is going to hit the jackpot with a couple of players and make a run at it but for the most part, it's going to be the mega rosters in the playoffs every year.

Ohio State has no business ever being in the latter category so they might as well start ponying up and buying the guys they really want every year and be the bleeping Yankees of this thing!

I never saw him play live. I mean... he won his second Heisman before I was even born. So this question is for you older guys who lived through those days. But I remember when Tebow won it in about 2008, as a sophomore, and the next couple of years, people (doofuses on TV) said that he shouldn't win another. Not because he didn't deserve it, but because he already won one. So I'm not trying to start a discussion over whether people should be eligible to win a second Heisman, but just to make the point that some voters possibly wouldn't vote for a guy to win a second.
That said, how much of an issue was it when Archie was on his way to winning his second? Statistically, it wasn't his best season. He had fewer yards (1,357) than in 1973 (1,428) and 1974 (1,620), despite more carries (225 in 1973, 236 in 1974, and 245 in 1975). And it's not like he lit up the world in touchdowns, but I know Pete Johnson was there to score touchdowns.
And I'm not trying to suggest there was or should be some outrage about this. But was there any outrage or controversy in 1975?

Is $40 million a number you've seen reported or are you just guesstimating? Just curious.
