Duke/Indiana/Kansas have been a lot better at football lately than they usually are.
Also note that Alabama is suddenly getting good at BB.  

I think that the NIL/Portal era is going to upend the traditional power dynamic particularly in BB because the big-time FB schools can throw some of their FB cash into BB and suddenly be contenders.  

I also think that Duke/Indiana/Kansas' BB cash is helping their FB programs which helps explain why they (particularly Indiana) are better than they traditionally have been at FB.

I'll hold off on that idea until IU matters under more than one HC.
