It’s hard to win a title, especially in places like OU, Nebraska, and ND that don’t have natural talent pools to draw from.

I think a program like Nebraska or Tennessee might be a better example of what you’re getting at. I do wonder how long they have to go before they’re like Minnesota or Syracuse, powers of a bygone era.

I don’t think Tennessee is in danger of being Minnesota. They are just too close to talent hot beds and the state of Tennessee has some great talent as well. It just takes the right coach. Time will tell if that’s Pruitt.

Nebraska, however, is in trouble. Tom Osborne may have played the biggest role in their downward spiral, pushing for the move to the Big 10. They had enough going against them with partial qualification and roster size reduction. The cost of a college education these days gutted their walk-on program as well. Then you have the rise of smaller, regional FCS programs that can pick off potential Nebraska walk-ons too. And they no longer have a massive advantage in strength and conditioning they once held.
