Hell, my team has a hard enough time playing Rice, North Texas and New Mexico State! But, if Bama, UGA and UF will pull out the check book we'll be their huckleberry!

I don't know how he kept a straight face if he actually said Tennessee was his 'dream school', while coming from California. Then again -- for $8 million -- I'd go play for Gallaudet University where all my teammates would be deaf and I'd have to learn sign language to communicate with them. I'd call it my dream school too for $8 million.

I am not sure everyone understands the significance of $8 million to a high school junior that has never played a college game. That is more than most NFL players make in their careers. You can point a ton of really good college players who for one reason or another never made a team, were out within a year or two making minimum salary that is way south of $8 million, or never made that second contract which means they made less than $8 million.

This is why this won't be sustainable. The NFL is the richest league around. The players are the best known. They don't make $8 million for their NIL, except the top .01%. This can only go on for so long before the money runs out.

The top .01% don't even make $8 million. Bryce Young was supposedly #1 and he will only make $3-4 million in college. What they gave this kid is absurd, but it is what they have to do to get a kid like that to attend Tennessee, so I don't blame them.

The issue is -- peope think this will draw others to play with him, but any elite recruit will now have their hands out for NIL deals and that isn't sustainable.

Some of 'em are going to take a cut in pay if/when they get to the league.

I can't wait for the flops that will inevitably happen and see these side companies paying out millions to a kid who carries a clipboard on the sideline

There is definitely going to be a lot of buying "a pig in a poke" that happens.

That said it appears that a lot of these "collectives" are made up of people that have so much money they can afford to....

Unless they have found a loophole to legally write off the contracts for NIL they are paying these players -- the money will dry up eventually. Many of these kids they will be paying millions and they won't even see the field for a year or two

Butthurt Bama Fan on UT Recruiting

This just made my day. It oozes with irony and how butthurt this Bama fan is about UT landing our 5 star. I hope he’s right and we are “#1 in buying (paying) players”. What a beautiful day. GBO Alabama Football: Tennessee Vols now No. 1 - in buying players
