Compare this Indiana team to the pre portal/NIL Indiana teams. Night and day. Beats defending natty champ Ohio State for the Big 10, then proceeds to destroy Alabama in the playoff game. They were a big 10 doormat pre portal/NIL.

They are also very well coached.

I dont know if this is a anti portal post, or a pro portal post, but I think its great. Having parity is great.

And bonus points because they are destroying Alabama.

We have to fix this and get Bama back to what they used to be. Remember that the speaker of the house is from Louisiana so we can do this. We just have to work together.

The SEC is open for the taking. Kirby hasn't seized it. Kiffin will have his chance. Idk if he'll do it but I can hope

The same was pretty much true of Florida before Spurrier got there. That was pre NIL/portal

It’s been said the Midwest, BIG10, has a lot more money than the south.
It is starting to become apparent.
I do believe the tougher SEC schedules take a toll, but 3-7 in bowl games after tonight, but not good.
The same guys that think LSU goes undefeated every year are the same ones that will never admit the other money teams/conferences have caught up.

I also think the opt out culture has eroded the game.

You cannot play a team sport with an individual mindset
