Couldn’t agree more. Our posters act like we are the only ones that say “it’s a 40 year decision not a 4 year decision”. Other programs LITERALLY say that.
Wrong thread 🤣
That’s a game we’ll never win. We will always be one upped if recruiting becomes solely about the money.
It will never be solely about the money.
This perfectly sums up the reality I have been reckoning with since the first news of the new stadium hit. That, in my view, was the moment things began to be unrecognizable. “Hazing” scandal followed, the NIL settlement followed, Oregon/Wash playing in B1G, etc. The stadium, of course, didn’t cause the rest. They were all just indicators.
Stop making fun of @corbi296 and his fancy @kelloggcat degree!!! 📜
This is why being in B1G is so critical for us vis a vis dem Dukes, Stanford and a few others.
Stanford obviously has a lot going for it but a huge negative is being in the ACC. All thinks being equal (money, playing time, etc), I would think playing in the BIG would make NU the more attractive option.
From an athletic standpoint NU better commit enough up front, entry cash to be in the game for the better developmental HS prospects with a high enough ceiling to make NU competitive again in the new BIG. Only then will they have the good problem of later spending even more to retain them in the open market.
Because we don’t have enough megarich donors who care to fund major NIL efforts.
Except the news indicates we plan to now be in the top half of the Big Ten in NIL. Combined with our P2 money putting us well ahead of nearly all the ACC and Big 12 programs, it’s a game we’re playing to win and potentially doing quite well in.
Andrew Luck’s role is just a weird NCAA workaround. He is there to help recruiting
So can he recruit as a head coach type figure or not?
But what benefit does that GM role add that an athletic director doesn’t?? I’m still lost. Stanford should spend their CW money more wisely
So he’s the opposite of Fitz the past few years? 😂
@ubercat Haiku time. @NUCat320 is owning the Free board. Those cheapskates @MRCat95, @Mr. Peterman, @NUCat57, @NUCat91 , and @CoralSpringsCat should take note. 📝
Welp, I’m planting weeds this fall and hope that the grass takes over because what the hell, nothing else works.
Preemergent very early in the spring (or in the late fall, depending on climate, idk about that). Also toss on some simple gypsum pellets around the pavement areas that get salted, especially near the street, plus anywhere else crabgrass has been an issue. If your climate allows it and it’s not too hot 8 weeks later, you can double up with weed and feed if some broadleaf stuff has fought through. Otherwise spot treat anything that survives and maybe some fall lawn food.
Same people thought McCall was a great OC and wouldn’t get fired and that Brendan Sullivan would be our savior. Nonsensical as a baseline.
You forgot about how much do you value the pedigree of your degree and the strength of your major. How would you like to attend a school next to one of the great cities of the world. How important are world class facilities and a state of the art stadium to play in.
And better. We can field a competitive product now. Let’s go get some players and go win some titles now.
I was initially very optimistic that we'd be rich in NIL and then despondent when the whole school and donor base showed little interest. Now I'm 100% back on board on this being a potential big winner for us.
