Offer from GA is supposedly 1m+ for both Williams.

I think A&M has a standing offer for 1m for any 5* recruit

We have no chance

This shite is so dumb. You were supposed to be able to profit off NIL because you were playing well and people wanted you to rep their brand. Not pay a million dollars up front for a recruit. They have completely fricking broken it

There are 35 5*. If classes were the same each year, Jimmy Rane could pay 1 mil to each 5* recruit for 25 years before he went broke.

"We ain't broke"

Let's see us land Caleb

That's a price I am willing to pay

Someone get Bruce pearl on the phone to recruit this kid.

If I’m being honest guys, I don’t think this guy is worth 2 MM. He’s been good for OU but idk. Maybe i’m just subconsciously preparing to be rejected.

How the frick is this even a thing. This isn’t how NIL was supposed to work. Schools shouldn’t be able to offer kids like this. NIL was supposed to be for kids who wanted to profit off their likeness by getting paid by companies to help market their products??? WTF WTF WTF!!!!

Third party is doing it and not “schools”
A&M boosters are starting llc’s and then purchasing their image and likeness for a business that won’t ever use it most likely.
It’s still not happening the way it was presented but the NCAA shite the bed in creating any meaningful guidelines.

This was always how NIL was gonna work… surprised it only took 6 months to get here.

If the NCAA had been proactive they could have potentially done this, but wouldn’t setting bounds now be against the California law?

The bigger issue, if you pay 2million to get a kid, what happens to the other 84 players on the team, or in our case, the dozen or so better players? They now have a portal they can step into immediately if we dont pony up to them as well.
And since it is "outside" the official administration of the team, you are going to need a company of individuals to manage the financial aspect of the entire team, ie managing our entire payment budget, contracts
with the players, etc.
This will look similar to the front office of a pro team, yet disengaged from the coaches and University.
What a frickin mess this is going to become overnight.

That being said, I imagine it was a ton more than Finely was getting, if he was getting anything at all. Now think about those dynamics, when Nix got benched and Finely had to come in and get the W.

This NIL thing can have massive repercussions in the locker room.

Just like the pros. Same thing. They wanted to get paid, they wanted to be pros, then they need to deal with it and not whine when someone else is getting paid big money. Deal with it.
The issue is not money. That is what everyone is focusing on. The issue is the transfer rules. It is absolute madness. This is unhindered free agency all the time with every player. That does not happen in other sports. They need to get that under control or the game is going to become a disaster. There is a reason pro sports don't have unhindered free agency.

I was actually just thinking that the very best recruiting strategy may be to just go out and buy players that have good freshman/sophomore seasons from schools without NILs... will be interesting if that becomes a trend.
Hard for a 19/20 year old kid to turn down a million bucks (would be hard for me!).

It is but at that point everybody is going to be going for those kids.
Here's the unfortunate reality. If things continue as they currently stand we can not compete at the highest levels of college football.
