    Yeah I know, and Lucas is claiming they never actually submitted the paperwork. Something is rotten in Denmark.
    That's easy enough to prove, as the documents go to the NCAA for all schools to view on-line.

    I'm not sure that's possible. Lucas's name appeared in the portal on 12/19/24. Before that can happen his prior school (WI) has only two days from the date he informs the compliance department for them to turn in the paperwork, including his transcripts. His name couldn't have appeared unless the paperwork was put forward. Could The U have requested further information that Fickell won't release?

The flip side is that Lucas has a done deal with the U for NIL but can't get out of Madison. Not sure if there's a contract breach with UW going on here or what. Lucas seems to think they're holding him hostage.

    What really makes you believe the ?Badgers should be the Redhawks, let alone Bama in Bryant-Denny Stadium? As to the Hoosiers, I don't seen Cignetti going anywhere or regressing. Giving them benefit of the doubt, the Badgers should be 3-4 heading into a toss-up game with an Illini squad that was ranked this year. Lose that game, then the only winnable games are home matches against Iowa, Maryland, and UDub. Lose to the Illini and 6-6 is best possible outcome.

    Fickell is in a bad state of affairs. 5-7 after 5-game season-ending losing streak. Wisky probably can't fire him (40M reasons). Next year's schedule is daunting, to say the least.

    I wonder how many head coaching jobs Longo has interviewed/been contacted for?

It appears he tried to hire Phil Longo at UC to replace Denbrock and missed on it. ($).

    If you could take Luke's coaching styling with increased intensity, leadership, and accountability and pair it with the GM/professional style recruiting BigSatt has at UC, it'd be tough to miss out on 11 and 12 win seasons. That said, I like what Satterfield has brought to Clifton, which he didn't have at Loserville. Not trying to put a positive spin on it, wish Luke had stayed and tried hard last year to in. I wish him well, but think Satterfield is doing many of the same types of coaching things, but his investment in recruiting department and tie-in with NIL will allow him to coach up a higher rated and talented squad than what Luke had here, and possibly what Luke will have in Madison.

    I can't blame Longo for wanting one more year at UNC. He knew Maye was going to be good following Howell, plus why go from the ACC to AAC?

    We will see how great of a hire it was when the Big 10 goes no divisions in 2024.

    Not sure what to make of this. I think that all coaches do this to some degree. It is like whenever a coach does not get a contract extension, all those recruiting against him tell the kids that he will not be around. I remember seeing an interview decades ago with Joe Montana. He really wanted to go to UM but when ND asked him a question about how many UM QBs were in the NFL, he switched to ND. It wasn't until Tom Brady that UM had a successful QB in the NFL. I am getting old, so I am probably wrong with some of this.
    I understand what you are saying, but Fleck at Minnesota has several years to go although he didn't win the division in a few years. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens.
