Bookie:
$ 2,000.00
Who would want to live in Soviet Union Jr. Hell even if he gets paid $ 2-3 Million more at USC, it is likely to be eaten up by cost of living and outrageous state and local taxes.

I imagine he didn't think about that. He will be fleeing East soon.
 
My uncle fled California this past summer, the state is a sinking ship. Wait until Riley sees his first paycheck and how much goes to taxes 😆.

He’s making plenty of money. Anyone with the option to live in Manhattan Beach over Norman and chooses Norman needs to get his head examined.

He should have went for Gainesville or Tallahassee. I am not sure why the Florida schools can't land big names. They have the beaches without the government drama.
 
This is nothing against USC as they seem like a decent school and are a historic power.

However, from a business sense, this was very stupid.
 
idk what is dumber, the elitist "lol Oklahoma and the midwest sucks bros" talking point or the "Lincoln Riley is gonna lose so much money due to Cali's high tax policies" talking point

both are dumb and aren't why Riley is leaving Oklahoma for USC
 
Anyone in this day and age who would want to live in a city as opposed to on land outside of the city is someone who stays home until the CDC says it’s safe to be outside
You realize that those are both the same choice, right?

How so? The gross pay is double what he was making at Oklahoma. While the state tax is higher, it comes nowhere near the amount it would have to be to make it a bad "business decision".

Exactly.

Lincoln isn't losing any money by going to California. You can argue against the merits of him going, but financial reasons certainly aren't amongst them.

This. I'm hearing the new deal is 10 years, 150M. If true, USC is almost doubling his salary. California's income tax rate isn't wiping them out. It also has nothing to do with Los Angeles being a better place to live than OU. It's about the money. That's why he left Oklahoma, end of the conversation.

But he’s living in Southern California and not Norman Oklahoma…..

I understand that Florida got who they wanted. Looking for their next Urban Meyer.
