Commenting generally on the O, I think we have a big talent gap.

I believe we are currently in the longest period without winning the Big Ten

Ron McDon

Is it possible that we are putting a higher % of available NIL into hoops than most schools?
-
DT
October 9, 2023, 10:58:31
Out of the power 5, my guess is our NIL is 2nd tier in hoops and like 4th tier in football.

I'm sure there is some money there, but I doubt that it is sitting in a bank unused.

I wonder what % of IFund/NIL dollars come from the people who graduated in the 1980s
