While I think OSU will win this by 10 or so, I think this is one of the most intriguing B1G games in years. I would love to see Indiana win, and would particularly enjoy seeing OSU, Michigan and PSU all shut out of the title game after all the whining their fan bases did about the West Division having a team in that game before the great chaos was instituted this year.
OT: Indiana OSU

At this point in the game we actually did better than Indiana is doing. Well into the third quarter they only have 68 yards of total offense and losing 28 to 7
It's the haves vs. the have-nots. Michigan's new $10M high school QB is being treated like royalty on the sidelines today. How do we compete against teams with NFL-like payrolls?
It really is stupid. Just make the NFL draft high school kids and send them to a minor league.
The top power 4 teams already are the NFL’s D league. Why would they spend many more millions creating new minor league teams, hiring staff, renting stadiums and marketing when OSU, Michigan, Bama etc are willing to spend that money already?
We should quit whining and raise some money. We get to start spending $20 million per year on player salaries next year, that penty enough to poor $10 million into our football team plus $8 million into building a really excellent basketball team.
Why on earth would the NFL pay for a minor league when it gets well-trained players for effectively zero cost?
Seems like most schools are going to ignore title IX for revenue sharing since it's a passthrough of the TV contract dollars. I am curious if the federal government or courts will change this, but it's been widely reported it's going to start like that at most places.
If we're at a point where womens teams are getting $10 million in direct cash payments for football TV contracts... that's just ****ing ridiculous, and frankly the players will find a way around it, like becoming direct parties to the contract.
I hope all the people who for years and years said "the payers should be paid" (and I am not talking about this board, it was all over the place, tons of message boards, sports talk radio, columnists, cable tv etc etc), I hope they are happy especially if they were fans of a team that isn't as big as OSU or Alabama! Congratulations about the new world of college football you pressured people to create.
OSU and Alabama were 10x better than Us before legal payments to players. Being paid hasn’t changed any of the pecking order.
Just saying the highest ranked teams now are very similar to who they were a decade ago. We don’t see Cal, Syracuse or NIU etc suddenly making a run at the Natty because players are paid. We need NIL to be competitive with this tier of teams not the historical blue bloods.
Wouldn’t it be disgusting if the players responsible for a $1.3 billion per year 12-game playoff weren‘t compensated?
I imagine we will see some changes, with players signing multi-year deals, or extended time until payments vest, or something of that nature. Of course, it may also be collusive depending on how it happens.
Time marches on.
Kain Colter was ahead of his time. Maybe if his unionization proposal had gone through, there’d be a more reasonable, regulated and equitable distribution of player payments and benefits, not $2 million/year.
