I think Collins vs Self is a bad example. But I do think it is safe to say that Collins would have better results than he gets at Northwestern, and Self would have worse results than he gets at Kansas.

Billie Gillespie disagrees…

Crazy thought probably but I’d probably at least make both choices a thing someone has said instead of your viewpoint vs. a complete strawman.

OK I’ll ask you as well. How would you word it?

Because the way you talk, seems to imply you think they are equal playing fields

How would you choose to word it?

Depends upon what you are trying to communicate.

Two words: competitive advantage

If he has the same assistants, I am thinking the same pre-NIL cash would be thrown around. I think that it is more attributable to Underachiever than "Illinois" or else Groce would not have sucked here.

Haven’t seen a dodge that big since I left Kansas.

I just answered that.

I’d change it so that both options were something somebody actually said instead of one option being your viewpoint and the other being something you made up that nobody’s saying.

There’s nothing that says a coach can’t fail in a place that’s hard to fail at.

Equal playing fields?  Yes.  They’re both major universities that play high major basketball, both had been similarly mediocre when the current coaches were hired, etc.  There’s nothing stopping ASU from hiring a good coach and getting good results, and as we’ve seen first hand there’s nothing stopping Illinois from hiring a mediocre coach and getting mediocre results

 
That notably isn’t at all what the poll says.

Like I said, I am having a tough time comprehending your point in order to come up with something else.

Are you saying that Illinois inherently has advantages that ASU does not?

That notably isn’t at all what the poll says.

Do both have equal histories? Equal facilities? Equal budgets? Equal conferences? Equal local talent pools? Etc?
