Off-season discussion thread

Not really sure what will come of this thread, but if you have random news or just want to post random thoughts, why not put them here?

Rhule came out today saying we won't have a televised spring game any more because all it does is show everybody else your players and then they start getting offers. Kind of sad, but makes sense.

Keeping track of these rosters is a job in and of itself.

I thought you meant no TV.

Actually having no game, eh?

That's wild.

I think there will be something. Ever know an athletic department to cancel revenue generating events?

Ole Miss did this last year. It resembled the Pro Bowl skills competition mixed with a county fair

De Boer bringing Ryan Grubb on to be OC. Don't think this can be a bad thing

Are we implying scouts are in other campuses during spring ball? That's taking things to a whole new level

Some crazy ass numbers there

From what I understand they have been for years.

How much NIL money did this guy get? Mercedes and Lamborghini wow!

Cars are a common NIL gift. I know of a starter, decent, not great player at Nebraska that graduated in 2023. New car or truck to drive around every season.

I hate this. Was my go to for early season capping.

We have a few tweets in here and I'll keep adding but Brad Powers does a great job of providing off-season content like this.

Big Ten Media days, in August, are in Vegas next year.

I'm seeing a lot of enthusiasm and also a sense of fear from these younger contributors on the recruiting sites.

Outside of Auburn/Baylor that looks like a pretty unwatchable slate of Fridays

And yes, I'd say that even if ISU was on the schedule

I don't know who this player is, but this is unbelievable

Multi issues @gps_3

I'm not even sure what Kirby is supposed to do about this. I guess come down really hard on the discipline side, but it's not like he can take their drivers' licenses away. Though I guess the state could handle that end of it.

Gary Danielson is retiring after this season.

Stanford hired Frank Reich as interim coach. Seems about as good as you could do at this point.

Tough break for IU.

I figured he'd be a solid piece for the Hoosiers.

According to my data and the history and records I keep. It most likely will be profitable fading Notre Dame in 2025. Looking back to last season their lines were very manageable. After their loss to NIL, sent everyone to bed. Then they were only -7 to the worst B10 team in Purdue.

Nothing but data applies to them thus far, they are one of the tops on my radar.
