would have thought. $1.5 to $3 million deal for Hunter just might be what it takes for top recruits. Paying players is the new deal, Texas players getting $ 50 thousand a year is just the beginning. College football is on the fast track to minor league NFL. Like it or not playing for the love of the school will be replaced by love of the dollar, and its happening fast.

Not liking this. They should have somehow barred the NILs from being tied to recruiting / signing day.

Who could’ve ever foreseen this getting out of control?

It is going to kill what I liked about college ball. I watch zero pro ball and I fear that is going to be my future with my beloved UGA Saturdays.

Well, getting my Sunday's free has been a blessing. Maybe, the same with Saturday's in the fall.

He grew up with one single solitary dream. Since as long as he could remember

To play quarterback for the University of Georgia

His parents knew iit wouldn’t be easy, so they instilled in him a tireless work ethic and ice cold patience to match his inherent drive and determination

They used the lot next to Dad’s drug store to drill, train, and practice from dark to dark

When it came time for high school, they sold their home and moved to a different school zone so that he could play in the big leagues

And play he did

The scholarship offers came in from Harvard and Yale and every single ivy league school, and plenty from the fcs, but none from momma

Nome from the school in Athens, GA that he loved with all his heart

So, he had to try get there as a walk-on then

He is Stetson Bennett the IV

Last of the Mohicans
