Ok - I see you are an idiot.

It might be hard for you to understand, but just because they had a lot of transfers, does not mean they bought a roster of highly touted players and outspent everyone. 2026 and beyond might be a different story, but these are pretty much facts.

Believe whatever you want as Lagway throws another interception to us.

Literally funded by one of the wealthiest persons ever in Mark Cuban. He has given easily over 25 million....which is basically 50 bucks to him prob.


"Roster Valuation: Total spending and valuation estimates for Indiana's roster under head coach Curt Cignetti rank among the highest in the country, with total roster investments projected to exceed the $20 million mark." - Google

I think it’s a little more, I’d say less than 40.

ACC and Big 12 need to combine in order to get a better media deal than the current one, or have SEC and B1G poach which I personally prefer.

The bottom floor teams are going to be us and Texas Tech…we’re competing in NIL with a fraction of the SEC media deal. Plus we already have facilities to host regionals in other sports. But those 2 schools have always been in a power 5 competing and have access to booster/alumni money. Louisville hasn’t.

They do now, they forgave him and welcomed his bank account back with open arms.

Still waiting for your response..you claimed they did not buy it...but literally have one of the wealthiest people ever funding them in Cuban who has given them over 61 mill(that is just one donor btw, I am sure they have other donors).

It is CFB now...you can only make it with a ton of money to spend on a roster. You def are not beating Georgia, Ohio State, etc with a small budget in the playoffs now..they have both good coaching and very expensive rosters.

How many franchises does $25 million get you ? The supposed amount formerly ousted Papa John gave Louisville.

We, socially - and I argue this with Boomers all the time on this - need to shite can the idea that "a lot of money" is an indicator or success. Or ability. Or talent. Certainly not of intellect.

What did you do with $25 million this year ? Well, Hell, I gave it to 18 to 22 year old kids to chase a trophy. Didn't make a dime off advertising. It just made me feel good.
