Saban and many other fossils need some help, get me their addresses and I'll send them each a copy
 
I wish this thread were in the PF so I could say something about it only being $30M due to inflation. :pop2:

I understand you want it to, but BroBible is lying and making shit up to try to get some of that "homeslice" attention. Inventing shit out of thin air.

Not really the point. Honestly, the story makes 100% sense. Whether it provable is a another story. The issue is A&M’s recruiting can’t seem to stay out of the news. That is a much bigger issue. The NCAA is basically blind, but the more stories floating around the more likely someone is to look into it

I love to make fun of them.. but if them losing a DL who isn't a 5 star currently is big.. you haven't been paying attention.. They are going to lock up a DL that is the top rated player out of this state on some services.. Trust me, you would love this problem if this means they are starting to falter

Yup, you got us. It's all downhill from here.

paying off a coach is a terrible example. that is a one time payment. the $20 million would be EVERY year essentially, because once you open pandora's box, if you want the same caliber recruits, they will want as much or more than the last recruit.
 
NIL Recruiting Shift

“It’s totally changed recruiting,” Kiffin said. “I joke all the time about it. Facilities and all that. Go ahead and build facilities and these great weight rooms and training rooms but you ain’t gonna have any good players in them if you don’t have NIL money. I don’t care who the coach is or how hard you recruit, that is not going to win over money.”

Now they can come in with a spear for the precise fish they want. There's a reason NFL teams don't care about facilities as a way to attract free agents. Money does the talking.

Will Alabama have more money to spend on players than Ole Miss? Yes. But Alabama doesn’t have all the money. It can't outbid Ole Miss on every recruit. Besides, there are still playing time issues (let alone scholarship limitations) that cut its recruiting haul.

If Ole Miss boosters want to use a big sum to overpay — and thus outdo Alabama — on a few select recruits, well, they can.

UW commit. I'm a little surprised UW was able to land him. It's a great get for the Huskies
