Liberty's #1 QB transferring. 5887 passing yards, 56 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, 2013 yards running.

More than anything, this tells me the coach, Jamie Chadwell, is moving on. I would think UNC would be his first choice but he is often listed as a possibility for Purdue also. Would be a nice 2 for 1 deal.

Liberty QB Kaidon Salter plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal

After four seasons at Liberty and becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the Group of Five, Salters will be entering the transfer portal.

I don't see why we should pay more NIL for a 1-11 program. Production leads to more pay. Not incompetence. The AD can do whatever they like with paying the coaches but I'm hoping donors refuse to give more to pay players.

Due to injuries Miami of Florida has a TE just completing his 8th year. IU's QB is finishing his 6th year .... don't forget that a covid year was included but that ends after this season. There are a LOT of 6-8 year players in college. I think Oregon's QB is finishing his 6th year, injured in 2021 plus a covid year.

I guess the old 4 years and a scholarship could be a "club sport" for universities .... sad what college sports are turning into, yet it only takes one lawsuit to change everything in any sport.

The smart ones down south aren't worried ... they can see what kind of team they have. Same as the last 3 years with the same coach. The only difference this year and it will be Woodson's downfall, he doesn't have that NBA first rounder that can carry a team. IMO they are mid range at best in the B1G and nothing more than a bubble team in March that will fail to make March Madness with a $6M roster. I'm an IU grad, lifelong fan and I don't even care what they do anymore. I was done with Woodson midway through his 2nd year.

Dan Mullen would be one I would take but not sure if he's even interested in coaching at all, let alone at Purdue.

IMO coaching hires and recruits are similar. You just never know how they are going to turn out.

If you are attending classes (some minimum number of hours, say 9) then you should be able to play.

Four years of eligibility is tied to an old idea that it takes most 4 years to graduate which isn't really even true anymore.

Plus if you are getting a masters you are still a student.

I'm actually ok with extending out the number of years of eligibility so long as they are attending more than a token number of hours of class.

You'll get a handful of players not good enough to go pro, but good enough to help a team plus make some good NIL money. It's not like they will stay ten years. Better players will replace and you can't go to school forever. But if you occasionally get a couple of 5-6 year players so what?

He was singled out because charging someone with lying on the gun registration form without other gun charges is infinitesimally rare. Less so with the tax charges but it usually doesn't happen under the circumstances.

Here's the salaries of the top 8 paid coaches in the college game for 2024. The real question is will the NIL PU boosters anti up to take PU to the top level of programs and get a coach of this caliber?

After the Walters hiring by Bo and ultimate failure with two years of wasted time and money, and hiring Brohm knowing he'd leave for da' Ville, will he be allowed to go big or will he have to go cheap again and stay home?

I've said it for a long time that PU should be at the top of the league and not basement boys because they're too cheap to get a good one.

The highest-paid college football head coaches in 2024 are123:

1. Kirby Smart (Georgia) - Salary: $13,000,000
2. Dabo Swinney (Clemson) - Salary: $11,132,775
3. Steve Sarkisian (Texas) - Salary: $10,600,000
4. Lincoln Riley (USC) - Salary: $10,043,418
5. Ryan Day (Ohio State) - Salary: $10,021,250
6. Mike Norvell (Florida State) - Salary: $10,000,000
7. Kalen DeBoer (Alabama) - Salary: $10,000,000
8. Brian Kelly (LSU) - Salary: $9,975,000

It's time for Bo and the NIL money to get off the toilet and get someone woh can change the climate. If they're not willing to do that, maybe it's time to continue settling.

Just because you're the AD doesn't automatically qualify you to make great hiring decisions. And he certainly did a poor job picking Walters, so why would anyone think he would do better this time?

I'm personally of the opinion that the best thing for Indiana football, and football in the State of Indiana overall, is for IU & Purdue to both roll into the Bucket game with it being a nationally relevant game. A ranked matchup at least, preferably a top 15 game with CFP (or formerly major bowl) implications. There have been scant few years like that in the past.

On a personal note, I would turn on Purdue games here & there to see how things were going and I was super impressed with the turnout you had for the Oregon blackout game. Drawing that kind of crowd cheering that hard during this kind of season against Oregon on a Friday night was impressive. The fans deserve better.

Good luck to whoever is making the decisions up there!

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia suing NCAA over NIL, eligibility

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia filed a lawsuit Friday against the NCAA, citing how NIL earnings were impacted because of his juco career.

www.on3.com

Interesting antitrust test balloon for ncaa eligibility restrictions, in this instance arguing that JUCO years should not count against players because of negative impact on NIL opportunities.

It does raise the question for me, in an era of paid athletes wearing gold and black, is it time to drop the years of eligibility from college sports? It would certainly increase parity to allow players to stay as long as they can make the team, similar to all other forms of pro sports. There are a lot of guys who aren’t going to make the nfl cut who could play for extra years in college earning that nil check. It would have a negative impact on high school recruiting, but maybe that’s a good thing.

Anyway, curious what other think.

IU fans are worried. They are just too distraught over the signs this early in the season to admit it. This was the year, the players, that would bring IU back to its rightful spot on top of the B1G.

I agree on developing our bench is critical as Heide and Colvin seem to be finding themselves, our bench needs to continue growing to play well in March , especially defense and rebounding. These games are good for us win or lose. Naturally winning is the way I roll , my biggest concern is actually Braden learning to relax , when he does man can he light it up. Changes everything.
