It sure as hell isn't MinnesotaDo you have a clue what is relevant to the modern recruit?

It should be!It sure as hell isn't Minnesota
No one gives a shit what Texas did in 2005, that's just as ancient of history as 1960 to the modern recruit, I mean, come the fuck on Wamu, you don't realize this, how short of attention span the modern recruit has??? What has UT done for anyone lately?
When has Texas surpassed what Minnesota has done the last 4, 6, 8, 10 years?
Minnesota FOOTBALL compares quite favorably with both USC and Texas the last year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years AND 6 years!!!You're fucking high comparing Minny to Texas and USC.
RIP lots of conferences, looks like we're heading to 3-4 mega conferences. Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and that's about it
Maybe in 10-20 years they will just scrap conferences and put the biggest 20 teams in one pool and just have that be Division I. Then the rest of the schools can go back to being amateur competitions, and some can drop football entirely. Maybe a relegation type scheme as well so the big Div I list can change over time.

And BOTH have been competing in inferior conferences. So UMn's outperforming them both is even that much more significant.
Explains a lot...
Makes sense. I might still watch the big events like the CFP and Final Four, but I stopped being a hardcore fan of college football and basketball about 10 years ago. They pretend it's amateur athletics, so the players don't get paid, but it's really all about the money. Plus, it's an inferior product to the NFL and NBA, so why should I spend my time and money on it?
I’ll still watch USC Football pretty religiously and college football in general. But college basketball lost me years ago with the 1-&-dones. And yeah - the amateur aspects are long, long gone. Truth of the matter is the old alma mater stuff never really mattered when you get right down to it.Makes sense.

Fine by me, I don't follow college football at all. Wouldn't surprise me if that's where it ends up in 20 years. 32 major schools, maybe with relegation so others can try to break into the mix. The rest can have teams or not, with actual amateurs. The major league would basically be a pro league with college mascots.Have a 32 team college football league. It works for the NFL.

For you folks that follow the sport, for shits and gigs, what 32 teams would you enlist if it happened today?
Obviously Alabama, OSU, Clemson, Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, OU, USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, Auburn, pretty much half of the SEC (maybe not Vandy or Ole Miss) and Big Ten (maybe not Northwestern or Rutgers)
Texas is closer to being the next Nebraska, lol. USC maybe, but they have to beat teams first, that's something they haven't accomplished for a long time, at least not at the level UMn has, vs tougher competition. Minnesota CAN outrecruit every team coming into the B1G. I heard they were Top Ten for awhile this year. Now they are something like Top 25 for the class of 2023 and I don't think Fleck needs Top Ten talent to do what he's trying to do. Just needs the right people.Because Texas and USC have been led by bad coaches. Minnesota will NEVER recruit or have a national title capable team again. Texas and USC almost certainly will.
You have a lot of Minnesota confidence and pride, good for you. But we will all see what happens and Minnesota ever being a real factor in CFB is not going to happen.Texas is closer to being the next Nebraska, lol.

You see that NONE of the teams wanting to come into the B1G have won as many games as UMn, right? LOLYou have a lot of Minnesota confidence and pride, good for you. But we will all see what happens and Minnesota ever being a real factor in CFB is not going to happen.
I don't even watch the sport, I just know from seeing the ones who do here respond to you. It's not gonna happen.
It doesn't matter what I see. I know for a fact MN will never be a major player again. Never. And all we have to do is watch for me to be right.You see that NONE of the teams wanting to come into the B1G have won as many games as UMn, right? LOL
Watch what? UMn WIN MORE GAMES than any of the 13 teams wanting into the B1G, in the last yearIt doesn't matter what I see. I know for a fact MN will never be a major player again. Never. And all we have to do is watch for me to be right.
