With 2026 schedule, it will be very surprising if Lebby is still the HC after 6 or 7 games..
I guess it?s good State brought Arnept back to step in as interim the second half of next season.

This site needs a new name, bc Eilte it is not! The whiny, bitchy dogs would be much more appropriate and accurate. If you want previous starters or 2nd teamers with stats, then whip out your check books. Does anyone know how much money Indiana is pouring into their NIL? How about TT? Put up or shut up, otherwise just accept the fact that we are what we are in football regarding NIL. Our ****ing HC is also a victim of our NIL!! His replacement will also be a victim of our NIL!! Cry all you want, but basketball and baseball are legit opportunities for us to be competitive in from a conference and national standpoint with baseball having the best outcome.
Let?s all get together and have drinks, so we can put some faces to these names. We can pass the hat around and see how much we can drum up! Who knows, we might be able to buy a holder for our kicker!

That bowl game had zero to do with NIL.

I love it when people post assumptions like this. There are some decent size donors on this forum. Just keep assuming brother.

He signed the financial aid agreement. There were some uncomfortable calls on that one.

Indiana provides the blueprint. Get older players who have been productive. Lebby says not on my watch. We are going to get unproven, younger guys, who went to good programs and didnt play. Bold strategy cotton.

How about we get creative and recruit billionaire's children / grandchildren in non-revenue sports and work them into the State family of giving. That'd be a more impactful effect to our NIL.

Haha. Good idea. If we passed the hat among the people on this site, we might end up with $1000. We could hire a practice dummy with that.

I think everyone does that. The problem is there aren't many players that have a profile where they are older and have a lot of production. The ones that are out there are a ton of people after they.

If we get older players our fans would immediately question why they were in the portal or ask why they didn't start.
If it's a younger player we question why they aren't older.

No one is complaining about the Mizzou WR or when we got Whitson last year.
Yes, our smart fans want to see us sign kids that have produced at a p4 level or excelled at a G5 level.
The Rice safety looks good, I hope it translates.
I do not want a dumb fan base that celebrates signing kids that have done nothing at all on a p4 level and then wonder why we are getting skull drug by freaking wake Forest.
Either land some quality players or just start sending the money to Jans and baseball.

Damn Tater, this may be your best suggestion ever. Makes too much sense.
