Man, every other coach is about to get a nice bump. 

Hard to justify a better coaching job by anyone in the country than Cig over the last 1.5 years. He's earned it.

Indiana dipped into that basketball bag to give that contract. 

IU knows they have their football version of Bobby Knight and didn't want him to get away.  Good move for them, especially if their high school recruiting starts to catch up to their transfer portal recruiting.

Yep, smart on their part making sure he doesn't think about Penn St. or Florida, or any of the other jobs open or about to open up.

So how long until ATM give Elko a 10 year fully guaranteed contract because they are currently ranked in the top 5 with a bunch of jobs open?  I said in another thread that there are few jobs better than the Notre Dame job, can't say the same for the ATM job.  Bias aside, there's a number of blue blood jobs that would be a step up, although Penn St. and Florida would be a bit of a lateral jump imo.  A USC or Michigan on the other hand . . .

Take off the brunt orange glasses. A$M has a great recruiting base and unlimited funding for football, however Aggies will screw up the perfect season because they are dumb Aggies 

Aggies will win one of the road games between LSU & Missouri.

It's up to Texas to give them there 2nd conference loss.    

Sir, a Mr Sexton is holding on line 2…

Glad to hear it. Thats one guy I was hoping wouldn't be available when the gooners get rid of roasted veggies.

Indiana telling the rest of college football, not on our watch.

And this is why the House settlement is never going to survive.  $20m spread over 105 players while the HC alone gets $11m.  It boggles the mind how the NCAA and the schools think that this is remotely fair to the players.  

Cant wait for the first hire to be made in this cycle. It’s going to be wild

I saw an Elko to Penn St rumor.  It made me smile.

Dude's going to be, what? 72/73 by the time t hat deal expires. Good on him. I wouldn't want to jump into the Penn State mess either.

Funnily enough, I don't think they're stupid enough to make another deal like the Fisher one. That would just cripple them beyond belief and for no reason.

Why should the players get more though? I mean at what point do you say enough is enough? The HC's get paid this much because they have much more responsibility than the actual players. 

The players are getting more than enough, plus all the stuff that doesn't directly go to them that they benefit from.

You have been on top of his ability from day one. The team takes care of you especially when prowlers make big offers. Guys a stud.
