@d-b-cooper I wouldn't be shocked if it opened, but what are you basing this off of?
No way Maryland fires Locks yet. Recruiting class this year is too good, as is the young talent on the team, and Maryland knows they would be like the 10th best job available, especially with Auburn now open
@thehoosierhuddle nothing other than a few posts on social media. Might be jumping the gun. I might do that from time to time. 😬
@d-b-cooper if you’re referring to the post on X that was a fake account. Not hearing any legitimate sources confirming Locksley is getting fired.

Yeah, got to be careful with things you read on X or facebook. Lots of clickbait news is posted there that is very fake. Sadly, I read the comments and so many people think it’s real. One posted that Cig announced bad news about his wife and tons of people posted prayers in the comments. Exact same news story was posted for Ryan Day earlier. The fake AI news stories are annoying because so many people can’t tell the difference between real and fake and perpetuate it by reposting.
That is a terribly sad statement on our society today. Disturbing to me.Yeah, got to be careful with things you read on X or facebook. Lots of clickbait news is posted there that is very fake.

And this is just sports. Think about the far more important subjects of our public discourse.
@unclemark It's awful for everything. I won't get in to Cooler topics here, but the fake sports news just makes me mad.
Ha, and look how that turned out for him . ND was glad to get rid of Kelly, better now he is gone. I would say LSU was a premier football school years ago, but not now and even then not top 3. Just my opinion.@hoosierific Notre Dame is not a better job than LSU, the proof was Kelly leaving for LSU.
Notre Dame is a highly overrated job. They arent as strict on academics for HS prospects anymore but they are still a drag on bringing in transfer students. ND is a bubble top 10 job IMO
LSU is one of the few schools still where kids want to go there if they are from Louisiana. They have that built in advantage over just about everyone.
Sammy is right... they are a top 3 job in America.
With that being said, NIL kind of flipped things around. We're now a more attractive job and destination. Texas Tech is throwing money around. BYU has donors.
It's not just the main P4 schools dominating anymore. One of the biggest things NIL did was even out the playing field more evenly.
It is interesting that this has happened. When I first heard about NIL my immediate thought was that the big money schools would have an even larger advantage over schools like IU. Didn’t they already have their big money donors lined up and supporting football, similar to the way they lined up to support IUBB? Of course they did. How Scott got the party behind IU football is a wonder to me. This is big boy football with big boy money flowing around and here we are. Amazing!Ha, and look how that turned out for him .

@walt542 I figured the big boy schools post nil are at a disadvantage. The bigger/richer schools have more cash than cachet. Like Alabama has cachet but are struggling with nil from multiple reports. I think schools like IU have had to be more inventive and got ahead of the curve. IU certainly didn’t waste the opportunity.
IU is still competing with quite a bit lower levels of player payroll compared to most of the other top-15 teams. Cig and staff are just amazing. But, our NIL is ticking up and we continue to close the gap.
What the NIL era seems to do is stop the top programs from hoarding all the talent. Basically, all the P4 teams now have enough rev share/NIL to get some higher end players they couldn't get before. It's been great for CFB.
Per SP+ and stats like that, teams are much closer today than they were five years ago. There is a good chance the super-stacked teams we've seen in the past (Nick's Bama teams, 2019 LSU, even last year's OSU team) are probably mostly a thing of the past.
We got linemen from Ohio State and Notre Dame. They couldn't hoard everyone.
And their fans told us they were not going to play anyway. (Maybe true in Michalski's case.)
But they were needed for us and have been good gets for us.
