What? A team from the mighty Big Ten Conference getting blown out by the school that has been historically the worst team in the Big 12?
How can that be?
Now 34-7 in the 3rd
Liepold did a great job with the jump to a bowl game last season. That program was hollowed out when he took the job, very late in the process no less.
The NFL has always pushed for parity. Doesn't always work because there are some bad organizations but they tilt the rules in favor of teams turning their records positive.
College football has never welcomed the idea of parity. Normally when you look at conference standings for any given random year the teams at the top and the teams at the bottom are the ones who are consistently at the top and the bottom.
Even though in theory each school has an equal say in conference and NCAA decisions it has always seemed that the big money, big winner schools tend to get their way when the rules are made and enforced.
Now with the portal, NIL, and conferences getting shaken up it seems that we are seeing some significant and very fast turn arounds, Colorado at the forefront but schools like Kansas and Duke included.
How long until the traditional powers try to swing their weight to secure their positions and at the same time make these fast and significant turn arounds more difficult and less common?
This is a problem in Colorado with a number of schools. Recent years we have seen a few schools including some with large enough student populations to put them in 3A or 4A who have suspended their seasons before finishing because they have been physically overmatched and don't have the depth to safely continue.
It isn't just confined to football but football is the one where it is hardest to cover for the overmatch in maturity and talent.
I used to work as the official scorer for HS wrestling matches. The school where I did it had a youth program feeding in and normally fielded a full roster of wrestler for both varsity and JV but some of the teams coming in had so many empty weights that they couldn't win the dual because of forfeits. A couple of times teams came in with only 5-7 wrestlers. The coaches would talk before submitting official lineups and the visiting team would wrestle some of their kids at JV instead of varsity for their own protection and to give them a chance to at least compete. I recall a couple of times our coach pulling the JV wrestler out of the line-up and putting in a freshman to try to make it fair to the visiting kid.
Don't know about other places but our head coach obviously wanted to win but he also wanted those struggling programs to have a chance to develop some kids and be more competitive.

C’mon TAMU. Would love to see Miami get blasted.

big attaboy to Tulane taking the halftime lead against Ole Miss.
So for 2023 — and this doesn’t include the financial incentives woven into his contract — Fisher’s salary is $9.15 million.

Texas A&M Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher has one of the most fascinating contract and salary breakdowns of any coach in all of college football.

What happened to the Miami player? Carted off with no movement in his extremities?
Didn't see how he got hurt but looked scary based on how long he was out there
I'd really love to see TTU beat Oregon. #wreckem
Except that I’d like both teams to be undefeated going into the game in Eugene
