A team of older, experienced free agents with no salary cap…yeah, they’re good.

Even so , it take coaching skill to do this.

Yes it does....everyone is playing by the same rules. Cig is just a better coach.

Meh. These players weren't that expensive. Most power teams didn't want a lot of them.

And most of them are 2/3 stars that Georgia never looked at.

Yeah, it isn't like Indiana went out and bought a bunch of all stars. This is unprecedented.

If this is the model then so be it.

Oh no a small time program is on the verge of going 16-0 how awful

Bevo bucks for the win.

It’s a sign that recruiting HS kids and developing young players is dead. Let the other divisions and lower tier conferences do that. Then just break out the check book and assemble your team of super seniors and grad assistants that have 3 other jerseys in their closet.

Lets not forget five guys from George Mason as starters.

That's just the market. Literally no one else is doing this. Not even close.

If Indiana wins next week, this group will have a strong claim as the greatest team in college football history. This from a program which had not won a bowl game since the 1990…a program which had not won a share of a conference title since 1967…a program which had not won a conference title outright since WW2. This magical transformation is impossible apart from the same ridiculous transfer portal which is taking a sledgehammer to the foundation of the college aspect of college football.
The canary in the coal mine is dead. Don’t get me wrong, many will celebrate this accomplishment, and rightly so. But fans of teams like LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, etc should not be among them…our beloved sport is gone forever.

NIL has been around for a while now. If it was that easy, why hasn't anyone else done it?

Nobody is keeping any other coach from doing the same including Kirby. Adapt or perish. It’s that simple. BUT Cignetti is elite.

The fact that a program can go from perennial bottom feeder to greatest team on the planet is the sign that CFB as we have known it is dead. That is an impossibility five years ago. Now it is about to become normal procedure. Literally from year to year there will be no continuity in college football. It will be like basketball, but worse.
I don’t understand why folks are struggling with this.

It’s great for every non blue blood program. They all have a chance now. Hell Vanderbilt was a cünt hair from making the playoffs. “Never lost a party” was in the semi finals and almost made the big dance. We have world beaters now in the losingest program in cfb history. Miami is back!!!! Texas tech were contenders. It’s madness.
