That's one player. And he's throwing to #13 his top guy that's from the great James Madison academy. Kick rocks with that, I know better. It's coaching.

Indiana recruiting rankings last year...
39th overall
49th composite
25th transfer
They signed a generational talent that won the Heisman with NIL out of the transfer portal. Wtf are we talking about here.
Boise state made the playoffs last year too
You have to bring in the right players, 5 star or not. And you still missing the point. They have elevated the entire spending structure for the program which is what it takes. Like usual y’all need to see the big picture here. There is not one thing that puts you ahead you have to do them all. But not doing one will hold you back every time.
My God y’all are an impossible breed. We are simply pointing out that your hypothesis has holes. We are trying to elevate our situation but we are simply not able to do it as quickly, it would be very nice to have had a Mark Cuban in our pocket. If we had also not started out so far behind the eight ball it would’ve been helpful. But alas here we are.
LOL
So what you are telling me is- Indiana spent 2MM to buy a QB to make them better. In addition to other spending.
Trap set and delivered. Indy spent money to win. They spent more money than us. Alot more. It takes money you morons. That is what I am trying to teach you
Explain what it is since your understand. They got a Qb transfer that's the brother to the backup. Mendoza was 12-14 as a Cal starter. Dude wasn't a winner until he came to Indiana. Indiana had 13 transfers from James Madison, that cost $30 million, right? Mendoza is a cog to this puzzle. The team is winning with lower ranked transfer players and great coaching.
A good coach can overperform a program's level of spending by a game or 2 (see Indiana). A bad coach can underperform a program's level of spending by a game or 2 (see Mississippi State). But yes, in general, spending and success will be strongly correlated.
If Ole Miss can do it, so can we. It?s a long shot, but it?s possible. Need to make a move before the rules change.
Indiana's not matching Oregon and Ohio State but they are spending similar to Ole Miss on NIL
Coaching gives them the extra advantage on the margins, but they are paying to be where they are.
There is no world where you coach a sub-$20m roster into the playoffs. You have to push $25m in order for all the other things (coaching, development, etc) to begin to factor in.
Ole Miss has much better Leadership than MSU. MSU is ran by a Government Bureaucrat.

Maybe TT should've spent more on football operations and less on NIL??
This is the point everyone is ignoring. They didn't spend anywhere close to the big boys last year, and yet, they made the playoffs. That run is what fueled the funds to step it up a notch this season.
If we made a run to get to the playoffs next season, our NIL would explode going into to 2027.
