My other league has the same number of starters (has a 3rd WR instead of the W/R/T). I don't think multiple QB spots or multiple flex spots are the default unless that has changed. Been a while since I created a league.

I was guessing him being on the team fell through since he wasn't listed on the roster. Maybe the roster isn't fully accurate.

apparently fell through.

I did well with RB and QB but at the expense of WR and TE. With 14 teams, probably hard to feel good about the entire starting lineup.

I don't think the wire is that loaded. With having 2 more teams than my other league, it is more sparse than I am used to. If we had 2 more bench spots, there would really be no one left.

Or does any recruit with LSU interest just magically become a 4 or 5 star?

that top leg would be kind of chubby lol

Plenty. they would just find other players. Not all players would just boycott. Some would take it up for the free education.

Personally I wouldn't have cared if the video games didn't try to make likenesses of real players. Plus, exact likeness is being a little too kind. Back when college games were coming out, it was more general likeness than anything. I would have been just fine if the players were all randomized. I mainly played dynasty mode so after 4-5 years, the players were all randomized anyway. I think the crazy part is selling the jersey for $100, not the player not getting a cut. Even more crazy is how much coaches are raking in. Highest paid public employee in every state is more than likely a head coach.

This is paying the players to play their sport and thus it is now pretty much a professional league using the schools. At this point shouldn't we just have a college draft instead and make the teams as even as we can make them? Without the schools, how much would these kids name, image and likeness be worth? I wouldn't care about any of our players if they didn't play for us (outside of the baseline caring about other human beings in general).

It's not much different than people watching college basketball when players in the NBA are better players. I think people would still root for their school even if they were in the G League of college basketball. If IU was a non-NIL school and decided to only play other non-nil schools, I would still watch when i can. If they weren't on tv anymore, then it would definitely make that harder though. They would lose some fans but there are also fans that would appreciate that their school was not just a minor league of paid players.

It would be akin to a minor league. A NIL free league wouldn't be able to compete with the schools that use NIL but I'm sure there are some people that value a free education. If you weren't good enough to make an NIL team, a free education is still better than nothing.

Bubba to IU

We could at least move all discussion of ex wives to a separate board on here....

There seems to be a tight lid on what is going on this offseason so it will be interesting to see if we are in for some surprising changes under Walt Bell. Who does everyone think will have a better than expected (breakout) season this year? Think any players will have a surprising change of positions? Some posters on the other site noted that you don't hear much about McCulley in articles discussing the QB battle and that he may be getting time at WR instead. If he is not going to cut it as a QB, I wouldn't be too shocked to see that change and would be interesting to see how he does as a WR. Could make for some interesting trick plays (not sure how much Bell is into those though) with a WR that could be a threat to throw on occasion. Hopefully some players on the OL have a breakout season because we desperately need that area to improve this year.

I wouldn't mind participating if any spots left. Also interested if a dynasty league is started.

to be getting that many offers that far in advance, this kid must be something special.

I'm guessing you didn't mean to quote my post

so much for this being like his 2nd home and always wanting to come here. Hopefully he changes his mind again but this one stings.

Does he play other positions or thinking his skills is better used elsewhere on the field? Any reason to believe schools are schools are recruiting him something other than qb?

PU probably offered when he was in elementary school

probably could shoot iu dept the email sptmarkt@indiana.edu (sports marketing email) Kevin Van Rooy Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations/Director of the Varsity Club kvanrooy@indiana.edu (812) 856-1489 Mark Skirvin Senior Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing mskirvin@indiana.edu (812) 856-1401 Kelley Bates Senior Director of Marketing kelbates@iu.edu (812) 856-3189 Robert Williams Associate Director of Marketing rw21@indiana.edu (812) 855-4488 Adam Day Assistant Director of Marketing acday@indiana.edu (812) 855-7602 Ashton Stewart Assistant Director of Marketing ashbstew@iu.edu (812) 855-7034 Mack Nesbit Intern mnesbit@iu.edu Tyler Young Intern youngtya@iu.edu

which one committed? The one in the helmet may be a bit short for the secondary

That was setup to repair his image after being accused of sexual assault.

I'm sure that happens but not nearly as much as travels/carries/palming that goes uncalled. It's just become the norm because it's something that players are allowed to get away with more so than they used to be able to.
