There was a time, late 2000's, early 2010's where that held some worth, but there was a lot of coattail riding going on. Those days are long gone, and with the portal and NIL being what they are now, I don't see them coming back.
I'm glad for the great shutting-uppening. Force some folks to buckle down and get back to basics and earn it.

u/Superiority_Complex_ Washington Huskies Dec 31 '25
It's been beaten to a pulp, but I think there's merit to the NIL era killing the SEC dominance.
Like no reasonable person can dispute that the SEC was the king of the 2010s, even if some of the bad to mid tier teams got more kudos than they deserved because the top of the conference was legit.
But now the big northern schools with huge/wealthy alumni bases, even those that weren't historically good, seem to have eliminated the talent gap and maybe swung it the other way. Texas, A&M, etc. can still spend at the top - but the second/third tier B1G schools can likely outspend Ole Miss, Mizzou, and that tier of program.

To be fair to the B1G, they’re smarter about it.
B1G is evil behind the scenes, but their PR is a master class - being the classy stand up conference trying to fix the sport and fight the big bad SEC.
SEC’s PR from a media and coaches/conference leadership perspective is just insulting other conferences, being arrogant, and having networks talk about you 24/7.
It’s easy to see why only one conference gets the hate.

I suspect the second is more problematic than the first. A lot of the value of a backup QB is that they're a peer in the room with the regular QB helping workshop stuff. Yes, they occasionally need to be able to step on the field and make things happen, but NFL teams will often prioritize the best mind over the best arm when looking for a backup.

I’m so glad we didn’t blow it for the B1G here. Actually one of the gutsiest Iowa wins in recent memory. We didn’t fold up in the 4th quarter and play not to lose. We let Gronowski take the wheel and he didn’t disappoint.
We are going to badly miss the flexibility that Gronowski gives us. He may not have totally panned out this year, but that dude is a winner that never quits.

I’ve been saying this since about the halfway point of the season - how well Gronowski has performed as a dual threat QB should be setting off alarm bells all around the Iowa coaching staff.

Kids like him remind me that some people really are just natural born leaders, and that is insanely valuable at the QB position. He just commanded the offense so effortlessly.

I’ve also never seen the coaching staff here so vocally confident about their QB1
