They are a service academy. Therefore there are no athletes on scholarship. Everyone is. Some guys are recruited specifically for football and they help them with the admissions/appointments. Others try out for the team. I'm interested to see how the 105 rule impacts them moving forward.

Appreciate the heads up.
I didn’t know they could have a 1000 players if they wanted .

Edit. Another poster got me up to speed about their deal. And it makes sense now.

If we didn't have the injuries to key players and Leonard wasn't annointed the starting QB, we clearly had an A+ lineup that would have competed for the title. No doubt about it. If we get into the playoffs we have an outside shot at winning. How would more NIL money solve the injury bug and the choice of QB by the coaches?

Really? The offense is rolling. The QB choice was clearly the right one.

If I’m Vandy…smelling blood in the water. This could be a really interesting game. Does LSU rally and take out all their frustration on underdog Vandy, or does Vandy smell blood and exploit the LSU OL and pull off another upset? Kelly simply has to come out of this game with a win at home.

Especially Clark Lea knows Kelly’s go to plays. Like the deep fade in the end zone.

I’ve followed Lane since he was an OC at USC and being fired as a head coach at USC.

Great comeback story, and IMO, a damn good head coach.

He’s perfect for a place like Oxford, Mississippi.

I’ve never liked Kiffin, and add in his lying and firing as the Raiders head coach…his leaving Tennessee, his firing at USC…etc; but he’s always been a great offensive mind and play caller. I don’t know if he’s become a better character, but he’s definitely matured and become a damn good head coach. Mississippi is a great place for him, but doubt that’s his last gig. Some LSU fans are bitching that Kelly was hired instead of Kiffin. Kiffin at LSU would be scary.

I took a look at army’s roster. Do they get more scholarship players or something. I saw they had like 20 + running backs on the roster I was looking at.

Cignetti Renews Contract

IU has big money behind the football program. Cig has never had a losing record as a head coach. IU has several underclassmen performing at a high level. Great continuity on the coaching staff. His new package included more money for his staff. The financial impact for the IU community has been substantial. I think it was a smart move. Cig wants this to be his last stop. Why not?

Brian Kelly tends to have seasons where he's all in or all out (thinking of some of the up and down seasons during the first half or so of his ND career).

LSU literally has nothing to play for at this point. It wouldn't surprise me if they've collectively mailed it in and LSU has one of those seasons where the bottom just kind of falls out from under it only to return next year refreshed and better than ever.

To add to my last post.

If I was NDs version of Larry Ellison i would give them a cool $30M restricted donation for just the '25 class to be used only on 5-star and high 4-star WRs, QBs, and Edge rushers to add to what they are fielding now to get them into that tier 1 of teams where they could reasonably have a chance to win a national title

ND is still 9 and 1 while LSU is still 6 and 4

ND has Marcus Freeman as the head coach while LSU still has Brian Kelly

Advantage ND

I dont think ND lacks warm bodies even with the injuries. They are stacked with a ton of good players. What they lack are great players though. And the tier 1 and tier 2 teams are loaded with them.

More NIL budget would allow ND to replace some of these good players with elite difference makers at the high end.
