    Looks like IUFB will be facing Nico late October in the 812. UCLA just got better. They won 5 games last year with a pretty tough schedule. This year's schedule is bit lighter. PSU, at IUFB and at OSU are probably their toughest opponents. Nebraska Washington and at USC will also be a challenge for them as well. If he beats out Garbers, which there's no reason why he couldn't, he'll be a more polished and improved QB, and that's pretty dangerous. It's a pretty deep QB room so who knows if he even gets on the gridiron this season.

    Let's hope he doesn't go there. Coach Sunseri will make him a better QB. Regarding NIL, a LA market compared to Knoxville is substantially different. Especially him being from the area. A local car dealership deal alone might make up the difference of any losses. And if he produces like the last three QBs Sunseri coached, he'll be a very hot commodity in that market. And it absolutely makes sense programs aren't meeting his demands. But that doesn't mean he's not being pursued. He'll end up at a P4 school when this is all said and done.

    Once the dust settles, Nico will be calling plays for a P4 school and most likely getting a substantial amount of compensation. His numbers were good and he already has CFP experience. I've already mentioned that UNC is in play. It makes sense the Downey, California, native's representatives were reaching out to other schools especially USC and UCLA. He got curb stomped against OSU and they wanted to improve what got them curb stomped. I do feel bad for the kid if he truly didn't know what was going on behind his back, but I find it extremely hard to believe that he didn't, especially if his dad was involved. This won't be the only time this happens with schools and players leaving/terminated from contract. IUFB might even get a taste of this in the future. Until there are a certain set of rules to help prevent this it will start to become the norm. Nico was just the pioneer. P4 schools will always touch talent and this is just part of the unfortunate lack of governing of the NIL situation.

    Nico knew exactly what he was doing. He's probably going to play for arguably the greatest coach in the history of the game. There are no rules to stop the shady poop Belicheck does and he will continue to do it and then some. Hide and watch folks. If he ends up at UNC, hats off to Lombardi and Belicheck for pulling this off. These guys are going to run circles around the entire college football landscape.

    IUFB Offseason Updates

    Best of luck to Barrett. I hope he finds a place to land. The transfer portal is a double-edged sword. Hopefully IUFB is able to pick up an OL or two before the season starts. I'd feel much more comfortable having a little more depth. At one point I was very comfortable but two have entered the portal since.

    I'm confident we're on our way to outstanding seasons. We ain't the door mat anymore and this season will shut up all the Herbstreits. Coaching matters.

    Yeah, on paper, IUFB upgraded in multiple spots at multiple positions. That really doesn't mean much though. I think the Illinois game will let us know.

    "I’ve come to the proverbial fork in the road, and I made a vow to myself that if I ever did again, I’d choose me, in a sense. It’s very difficult;" -Andrew Luck Wait until he comes to another proverbial fork in the road while on the job at Stanford. He will always be the guy that quit an entire city and there's no re-writing history. Anyone that comes on here and tells me it was [fill in the blank's] fault that he quit either never played a down of football or doesn't understand the mindset of championship culture. He quit, period. And there's no defending his timing and actions. The guys locker room know this, the coaching staff know this, and every member in the organization know this. They just aren't saying it publicly. It would be poetic if Reich quit two weeks before the season starts. I have no regret posting this. He can pound sand.

    Man, I wish it were an April fools joke. The receiver room is a bit thin number-wise losing him as well.

    I wouldn't say he's not a good coach but that's just me. I mean, he's won almost 70% of the games he coached at the college level. The Buffs must believe he's doing good things for the school. Now that football is like 80% of the revenue generating for a schools athletic department it kind of makes sense if you think about it.
  20. It's time to bring it back. It'll help both schools with SOS and appease us fans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana–Kentucky_football_rivalry

    Where can I find the numbers? I'd like to see what they have allocated for any other sports.

    Is this an allocation for IUBB only?
