[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 970406, member: 17953"] Somebody told me the other day that the new 12 team football playoff format will level the playing field. I had to laugh. It isn't designed to do that. It's designed to bring more money in for schools to split, and it won't change the skills level of teams taking the field. No matter how you slice it and dice it, the elite programs will remain the elite, as long as they spend to stay there. I laugh about the Arch Manning deal. I'm going to guess his NIL deals going to the University of Texas will exceed a couple of million dollars a year, and new car of immense value to drive every year, and an apartment that would cost all of us several thousand dollars a month to rent, for chump change. He won't mind sitting for a year, as a red-shirt freshman, if Ewers is still going strong. Meanwhile, Ewers is making over a million a year, from what I've heard. Not bad for a college QB. No matter what anyone says, it was the NIL money doled out by UT supporters who lured him back with money. I like the Badger model better. It's more honest, and above board. No dark money floating around out there, making kids rich, before they even prove they can play a game. My feeling is that it's nearly impossible for the Badgers to ever compete against teams with unlimited budgets, and lower academic standards. If they do, it's a stroke of genius. When I realize just how good Jim Leonhard's defenses have been, I marvel at what he's done. I expected the loss to OSU, and the way it happened. We just don't have the horses to beat a team like them. They're one of the best that money can buy. [/QUOTE]
