I can’t think of one who makes big hires in so many different big time sports, poaching from established programs, like it right now

I think we need to wait to see results on the field before going that far with it.

Not an Indiana fan, but I have some family ties to the area and go to some games every now and then

Tennessee
They had a good run conapred to where they were but the Heupel hype is slowing down and tony v is gone.

Still a good AD under Danny white but his seat is getting warm because they’re tired of Heupel’s ceiling

For a while there, Florida was the gold standard for the big 3 of football, men's basketball and baseball

Basketball still awesome, not sure about baseball

and a willingness

For example Florida has some money but our AD is extremely cheap and not willing to spend.

It’s certainly the most exciting time I can remember at LSU in the big 3 in awhile. The baseball and WBB 2023 natty was fun but that pales in what we have planned for the Big 3

Probably didnt hurt that they were playing against a certain university in the CFP final as well.

Texas is a legit title contender in all four major sports of football, men's and women's basketball and baseball. They are probably #1.

Tennessee is good in all four, but I'm not sure they are title contenders especially with Vitello gone.

Alabama is good/very good in two of the big four but they don't have women's basketball or baseball. Not sure I'd place them near the top.

they’re not title contenders in football either.

Not sure about basketball, they eve never made a final four but Barnes is a good coach and they are a contender to make the second weekend every year under him at the very worst.
