Pretty content as long as they are winning titles, which they will with the amount of talent they will have.
Last I checked, they only give out one title a year… and Tamu isn’t going to be the only program shelling out huge dollars.
College football will move more to talent acquisition (and away from scheme) as the top talent concentrates even more in the top 10 to 15 teams. It will truly be NFL-Lite in the coming years.

It's already there really. Recruiting is 90% of the game now.

Another overlooked angle - you will start to see big name programs shying away from the Arik Gilberts and Michael Dyerses. Wouldn't want to throw away millions on potential head cases/criminal types, that's a very poor ROI.
On the flipside, I can also see big name programs doing everything in their power to make sure their well=paid stars stay eligible, essentially making academic standards obsolete.
What a time to be alive, as the kids say.

Getting back on topic-
How much NIL was he offered exactly?

6 pack of hot orange soda and a bag of chips

Also, guessing this ship has sailed, but Clemons landing at Michigan weeks before Harbaugh takes off to the NFL would be the pain and sorrow I’ve come accustomed to as an Auburn fan that follows recruiting

Couldn't he technically get out of his LOI if this happened?

Depends on timing I think

Auburn may be getting involved in former Texas QB transfer Casey Thompson, per KN
4* out of HS
As a Junior last season for Texas, Thompson was 165/261 (63%), 2113 yards (8.4 ypa) 24 TDs and 9 INTs in 12 games. Had another 4 TDs rushing

Hey, that sounds okay to me.

KN also mentioned Grant Wells, Marshall QB who threw the ball ALOT. 444 attempts in 2021 at 66% completion. 3300 yards 16TD/11INT. 7 rushing TDs that I can only assume were of the QB sneak variety as his rushing yards are below 60

Hey, that doesn’t sound okay with me.

It’s a funny stat line Posted on 1/4/22 at 4:17 pm to TheJones
The Grant Wells kid can really throw it. It's legit arm talent, he's a gun-slinger type. The question on the INT's is if it's a decision making problem, taking too many risks, or what. He can also scramble, avoid pressure, and threaten the defense with his legs a little bit.

You rewatched their bowl game and stole that assessment from the commentator didn't you?

Grant probably wouldn’t be a strong fit, culturally, anyways.
