Youâre right about York playing. I meant younger IOL guys and didnât include York because I thought he was an OT only, but if he can play guard, all the better.

From a âfriend of the programâ. Iâd like friend of the program level money. Is that up there with FU money?
Seriously, this is awesome though. No more worries about having the resources to reload for next season.

Indiana has shown the path to any middling program. Itâs up to the to open the door and walk through into the shining light.

There is no reason we canât be Indiana! Or at least the ACCâs (for now) version of it. Honestly our path is probably easier from a geographic standpoint.
Will Indianaâs rise lead to a ton of good money thrown after bad at a lot of schools thinking they can do the same? Probably! Doesnât mean we shouldnât try!
Iâm still very confused by the rev share cap though. Isnât there a limited amount of money you can direct towards things? Is this just a payment towards the football share so it doesnât have to eat into other things? Or is this marginal money that can actually get spent on football that wouldnât otherwise have been?

If your pockets are deep enough, you can fund a cancer center AND the football team.

Totally agree.
Iâm fine with UVA occupying the ACCâs version of Indiana.
Iâm also fine with other programs following the Indiana route. Just because you have money doesnât mean youâre going to spend it correctly and be successful. The well run programs will still rise to the top.

The reality is we probably have more of these âwhaleâ type alumni than the vast majority of schools who care about being relevant in football/major college athletics. We just had to convince them to give to football/athletics. The new era where thereâs a more direct correlation between dollars and on field/court success makes that an easier pitch to make.
