B1G lost none in the top 10 and gained 8 of top 10. +8 in takeaways.
Bama can't say a thing after the Nixon deal and the Huskers need to actually get Bowl eligible someday to think they can play in the deep end, They have been a bust for the B1G except volleyball and Baseball , They are the EBT School in the B1G until They can pull the weight of Their own brand and start delivering what They claimed They would when they entered the Conference on the Field. If this was baseball they would get optioned to the Mountain West.
I don't really have anything to add but the reference of Nebraska as " the EBT School of the Big 10" is now forever in my brain. It's so true.
too much Oregon & Ohio State in that graphic
I only watch the stuff online. You talk like a dirty little whore.??? And your a third party to these encounters? Are you their fluffer?
Your comment about Nebby is just nuts. They are competitive in all their sports including football - big winners? No. What they deliver to the BT is "money". That is what they were brought in to deliver.
Leger was a 10 year NFL Defensive Lineman. He's a Studio Analyst for CBS Sports HQ.
100% wrong. Nebraska won the lottery joining the B1G revenue sharing program. The monies they receive now just dwarf what they were getting in the Big 12. Reaping the benefits. No. Nebraska does not bring money to the B1G.
I didn't say that they don't get paid more from the Big 10 as opposed to the Big 12. What I said is that they bring lots of money with them. Their fanbase and viewership is quite large which makes the Big 10 even stronger and more profitable. That is why they were added. It is a win/win.
They have one of the smallest undergrad enrollments in the least populated state in the Big Ten. Not sure that reeling in that Scott's Bluff and Kearney viewership creates big $$
They were virtually dead even with Iowa this past season. Does that make Iowa an EBT program too?

Tampering happens way too much & not just in football; we saw it when Kentucky needed a shooting guard
Iowa is a small population state but is able to afford 2 P5 programs. We also add more than football.They were virtually dead even with Iowa this past season. Does that make Iowa an EBT program too?

Well, they have brought 5-7 records, bowl game droughts, inflated attendance 'records', and criminal activity.
Nick Saban: The way Alabama players reacted after Rose Bowl loss 'contributed' to decision to retire
Saban retired on Jan. 10 after 17 seasons and six national titles at Alabama

Nick Saban was not thrilled with the way his team reacted to losing the Rose Bowl.
Alabama lost 27-20 to eventual national champion Michigan in the College Football Playoff on Jan. 1. The overtime loss came after Jalen Milroe’s fourth-down run was stopped at the line of scrimmage. Milroe took off toward the end zone after a low snap on what appeared to be a designed run/pass option.
The game turned out to be the final one of Saban’s career as he shocked the college football world by announcing his retirement less than two weeks later. In a story recounting his decision-making process to retire and Alabama’s ensuing coaching search, Saban told ESPN the way some players on his team acted immediately after the loss and in the ensuing days “contributed” to his decision to hang it up after the 2023 season.
From ESPN:
Saban also talked about how the way the college football landscape is changing influenced his decision. He estimated that "maybe 70 or 80% of the players you talk to" wanted to know about their playing time for the upcoming season and how much they would be making in NIL money.
Saban retired as the most successful coach in modern college football history. His teams won seven national titles — including six at Alabama — and he turned the Crimson Tide into a machine in the College Football Playoff era. Over the 10 years of the four-team playoff, Alabama made the postseason eight times. No other team made it more than six times.
Saban’s retirement was not a spur of the moment decision, however. He had been thinking about the end of his career for a bit. Saban told Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne at the end of the 2022 season that retirement was getting closer and closer.
Alabama moved quickly to secure Saban’s replacement after his retirement. The Crimson Tide hired former Washington coach Kalen DeBoer to succeed Saban after DeBoer led Washington to its second playoff appearance and its first CFP national title game. Saban’s retirement was part of a busy college football offseason that included Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh heading to the NFL and UCLA’s Chip Kelly heading to Ohio State to become the Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator.
Saban, meanwhile, will still have a significant presence in college football. He's set to be an analyst for ESPN in 2024 after serving as a guest analyst in recent years when his schedule allowed.
What a ****ing crybaby Saban and a lot of coaches are. He made over $120M just from Alabama. But the minute the players want some money and some guidance on playing time, he stomps his feet and quits. **** him.
I remember reading a story about him stepping over a player that was in medical distress when he was with the Dolphins.

I think he means the new kids (high schoolers) making demands when they have earned zilch at that point. Haven't put in 5 minutes in a practice.
Jimmy Johnson was the same way back in the day.I remember reading a story about him stepping over a player that was in medical distress when he was with the Dolphins.

Ask Jimbo, when they were sparring he said:
“He’s the greatest ever, huh?When you’ve got all the advantages, it’s easy.”

To be fair to Nick or any coach who's been around for 20+ years, this new approach to recruiting and the mindset of the recruits is foreign to them. Probably best they step away and let the new, younger, more progressive breed of coaches move up.
No one, well, barely anyone, is saying players in this era aren't entitled to some of the revenue they are helping to generate, but if they are flat out behaving like entitled 'free agents' before even proving themselves at the college level, then I don't blame the Saban's of the world for being put off by it and deciding now is the time to walk away.
They've put in hundreds or thousands of hours of practice to get to this point.
Why do NFL players get millions in the draft? They haven't proven they can succeed at that level. They haven't put in 5 minutes of practice.
I'm sorry, when does the CFB Draft take place again?
Also, what is the salary cap limit this year?
I guess if you see no difference between a 17 / 18 year old and a 22 year old college grad we won't agree.
