    Will be interesting to see if this becomes another 'Gus Malzahn' investment.

    I really do not think it will. Cignetti has driven some big time investment in that program, Mark Cuban for one has started giving to their NIL. He is going to keep them competitive and I imagine he will be there until he retires.

    Interesting that it just moved his buyout from $10 to $15 Mil. On paper it looks good but is $5 Mil really going to prevent Penn St from getting him if he is interested?

    He's off the board.

    Penn State is going after Rhule and putting feelers out to Joe Brady. PSU's AD and Brady go way back.

    I honestly would love it if Cignetti just loves Indiana. Gives me hope if Lebby works out that we might have a chance to keep him. I was just pointing out that if someone wanted to give him a crazy contract then $5 Mil probably isn't insurmountable.

    Just information, schools like Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois have more alumni money than most SEC schools, probably double or triple what LSU and Auburn can get. If they stopped giving to museums, orchestras, water projects in Africa, NGOs, Think Tanks, cancer research, and art galleries, they would be Elite in NIL and Elite in Coach-Salary.

    Even Rutgers, New Jersey has a bigger GDP than any 3 or 4 SEC states that are not Texas or Florida.

    Plus they dilute their Sports money with Women's and Olympic sports.

    I think it's great that he's off the board and all these programs have to scratch him off.

    This is spot on. They have money, but also see a much bigger world out there to give their time and money.

    Yes but also look at Vandy and us. There was a lot of untapped potential that's starting to give. Not saying we're on that level but just because it's not currently being done doesn't mean it won't
