5-Star and Top 10 Recruit Lands $5.1 million Deal To Commit To Texas Tech

I feel for people who are just now getting turned on to college football. They missed the golden years.

And basketball and baseball. It’s all the same.

They have been treated like pros for a long time. Live first class, Eat the best food prepared by a personal dietician, personal trainers in the best fitness centers in the country, 24 hour medical care…all at zero cost to them but “they were being taken advantage of”. As George Carlin said once, “got dam there are some stupid people out there”. Prepare for schools to start dropping sports. I can tell u for a fact it’s 50/50 whether Bama has a baseball team in 2 years. I can also tell u there is zero chance they have a team in 5 years if things stay as is. Title nine can’t be touched so men’s sports are on the block. The consensus here is kill baseball, track, golf, etc and basically keep football and basketball. Haven’t talked to anybody that has a problem with it. All universities will cut some sports. Which ones are the only question.

I agree. It's predictable, but sad. It's also pragmatic. A LOT of college sports across the country create a huge strain on AD budgets.

It'll work for them because they aren't Texas A&M who turns everything shiny into a turd.

They don't. They no longer need to.

That will go a lot farther in Lubbock than it would in Austin.
But.....for an OT?

Right the opposite. TTU has bottomless pockets. They aren’t taking money away from skill positions to pay 5.1 for an O lineman. They can pay top dollar for an O lineman AND top dollar for skill players.

So you are talking about a 50-75 million dollar roster if they intend to overpay for an entire roster of blue-chips. They have 21 other starting positions to pay for and they will all be looking for this kind of deal.
