Indiana was NOT EVER built around a solid OL. They got lucky with a GREAT coach and really good skill players that the coach brought in. If Indiana keeps winning after this year, then I will eat crow. But, I think Indiana is done after this season.
Be prepared to eat crow. Cignetti is the best coach at present and is at the level of Osborne and Saban. And Indiana apparently has the NIL funds they need. Indiana is not going anywhere.
Yes. On3 NIL valuation doesn’t mean actual money NU was paying. Raiola had an endorsement contract from Addidas that travels with him. MAYBE you get to 2.5 million with outside endorsements unrelated to NU, but NU was only paying him roughly 1M/year. Start the jokes, I have a family member who knows the principals in NIL at NU. I have no doubt that Raiola’s agent wants everybody to believe we were paying him 3M/year.
