re: If you are Ty Simpson would you take the NIL offer to stay in college

The Miami folks are happier with Mensah and they are paying Mensah more than $6.5 mil. Much more.

What will be Maryland’s kiss of death is if the TV networks start pressuring the B10 to get rid of underperforming assets.

I really don’t think elite schools tamper. They don’t have to. The agents know the elites will pay top dollar so they, the agents, reach out to the coaches.

What did you (speaking in general terms) expect Miami’s offer to Ty Simpson would do?

He often works out at Miami in the offseason with Francis Mauigoa. In fact, they worked out last night at Miami's indoor facility.

re: Apparently Indiana has 4 pick 6s on opponents' opening drive. Film study or cheating?

Posted by ScotlandAve on 1/10/26 at 7:45 pm to Shaft Williams

I wasn't given the cheating rumors much credence but after seeing people like Bud Elliot alluding to it and I was blown away finding out they have 4 pick 6s on opponents opening drives. That's incredible!

I’m confident in Beck and Miami’s receivers against Indiana.

Furthermore, Indiana doesn’t have a DL than is anywhere near comparable to the size of the Miami OL.

re: Don’t know if you saw him at Nevada Kaepernick is a good comp for Mendoza

Posted by ScotlandAve on 1/10/26 at 1:36 pm to OU Guy

I saw that comp on twitter and I vehemently disagree. Bradford was 5 times the QB Mendoza is and wasn’t built the same. Also, Mendoza is more athletic than Bradford was even before the injuries.

Kap is probably faster but Mendoza is very athletic.

From body type to throwing motion Mendoza reminds me of Kaepernick.

As good as IU’s WRs are Miami has faced better against Ohio State and Ole Miss.

Also, Miami is MUCH BIGGER than Indiana on the OL and DL. They will wear Indiana down.

Lanning was never as good of a DC as Heatherman. Sorry to tell you. Lanning had Kirby advising him and a talent advantage at UGA. Heatherman had a top defense at Minnesota and coached for Cig. Have you looked at the Miami defense? They’ve been damn good all season.

But the biggest question is how will Beck do against Indiana's defense?

He’ll have opportunities. Beck has played better defenses in practice at Miami and at UGA. Also, what will Indiana do against the Miami OL?

The only position edges Indiana has is at QB and WR.

Miami’s defense isn’t clicking? Don’t forget Miami’s DC was Cignetti’s DC at JMU. He knows their system.

Iowa, Penn State and Ohio State shut IU’s running game down. Those 3 teams made Mendoza beat them via the pass. Miami has a better front 7 and secondary than all 3 of those teams. Miami will win.

Buddy youre assuming those teams are good purely off the logo. Bama and Oregon suck, Bama is a middling ACC team equivalent who got thrashed by FSU.

I agree. I’ll go further and say SMU and Louisville were better teams than Bama.

Miami won’t move the ball on Indiana. The game won’t be close.

Do you think IU will move the ball on Miami? Iowa, Penn State and Ohio State shut their running game down. Those 3 teams made Mendoza beat them via the pass. Miami has a better front 7 and secondary than all 3 of those teams.

And, if Miami doesn't get Ty they are likely going with Raiola. The Miami insiders have said Mario doesn't want any portal pickups announcing they've signed until AFTER the Ole Miss game.

No contact can also mean Williams is negotiating with a select few teams.

re: Delly on the Demond news

Posted by ScotlandAve on 1/6/26 at 10:11 pm to UncleLogger

The loophole is these agreements aren’t legally enforceable. The player can leave when he wants to whether he gets in the portal or transfers like a traditional student would.

The legal ramifications will depend on several factors.

Have they paid him anything based on it yet?

Does it have a buyout requirement or block him from other teams?

Can those contracts. Enforced beyond NCAA rules such as a student’s right to enter the portal?

Was there any language for terminating the contract? Was it more than a year?

Realistically, it may be hard to enforce the contract.

Miami has already defeated one of those B10 member contracts. Williams can leave. There's nothing to legally stop him from leaving.
