What caused the last two seasons?

I expect there would be cheating at some programs. I don't know if there is any accounting so the NCAA would be able to penalize those schools exceeding the limit. I was just trying to think of some way the less profitable programs would have a chance. If a team does develop a sleeper player into a star he will probably leave for more money.

Obviously by now, the NCAA does not have a clue how to handle NIL money. The gate is open and the horses are long gone, never to be retrieved. The rich teams will get richer by doing what they have been doing for decades and the lower tier teams had better starting thinking of forming a new league to play in. The top teams in NIL pools and performance will be in the "Semi Pro" league while other teams will be in the "Club" league.

For a long time I thought the NCAA was heading to 4 divisions with 64 teams but with NIL money and Transfer Portal that is not an option. It will be Semi Pro and Club ... maybe the requirement for the Club League would be NIL's not allowed.

How can you rationalize th\

How can you rationalize the huge cash disparity?

Why would I? That has nothing to do with their performance.

Poor position coaching and the inability of the head coach to identify problems until they smack him in the face.

Yes, and it doesn’t end after this one funds campaign. It has to continue, year after year. Alumni/fans and organizations/businesses have to be committed to it, and it’s completely open ended. Get tired of giving away money, get accustomed to crappy football.

One of the things We have to remember with NIL is that this is still a novelty game. it's like everyone seeing a hot stock issue and wanting to get in on the ground floor and make a Ton of fast Money. Once you get away from the glitter and sizzle, you need to find out whether there is any substance to the steak

I view NIL the same way. There are a lot of people who wanted to get on the Band Wagon early, Now those initial investors need to determine what their return on investment really is. I predict that some of these people will be disappointed and pull out of the game. The question will become can the Schools replace the Money provided by the departing supporters with new money from new people.

Will the AD ever send emails to top donators to give more to IUFB?

This coming year will be better with better players and our new OL coach. Bell needs to listen to coach Allen and slow things down whether he wants to or not and run fast at times not all the time.

Correct! That was the anchor that didn't get lifted until half way through this season. Now they have to rebuild it all over again.

We now have the new OL coach that people say is the best OL coach in the country so our OL will be much better.
