🏈 Indiana or Miami, Who Do You Pick? Score?

Lots, lots of indiana fans in key west today. Can't remember seeing one before. I'd guess they traveled well.

I’d add on that I’ve seen a bunch of their fans in several cities lately. Kinda like Clemson 10-12 years ago. All of a sudden their closet fans start wearing their gear. They have something to celebrate.

Again, hope you’re right again. Hard not to cheer on the teams that prove the exception that money and stars don’t always dictate who wins.

Indiana is spending as much as almost anyone.

Oh I'm pretty sure I saw a graphic showing how far behind IU's NIL budget was to Miami's.

Interesting WSJ piece on college football team values. I’ve said for a while, the only difference vs NFL is ownership (and length of player contracts). There’s no rich guy owning the team and raking in all the profits.

We are 9th in the most valuable list. Texas tops the charts with a $2.2Bn valuation. Where does that rank with NfL teams? The lowest values NFL team, the Cardinals, are valued at $5.9Bn.

From the WSJ article. These valuations don't make sense to me.

Brewer points to Indiana as proof. The Hoosiers are showing how nontraditional powers can emerge as huge attractions in this era. So while Indiana only ranks 28th on Brewer’s list at $648 million, it remains a 67.9% increase over last year. At $806 million, Miami placed 21st.
