Can't remember the B1G being so lightly regarded. Don't know a lot about NIL, but there seems to be a strong positive correlation. ISU might be the most overachieving program vs resources.

Does anybody believe that top 5 teams Houston and Iowa State have more than a tiny fraction of the available NIL dollars of schools like Indiana, Michigan, and OSU along with many others? NIL matters, but pales in comparison to the coaching staffs when it comes to success on the court.
