Do you honestly think they won’t be in BK’s office saying “well you paid him that and I’m better than him so where’s my money?”
What if they say the following though:
“Oklahoma thought he was worth 1.5 and I am better than him. Where’s my money? Should I go there?”
It’s not like there is some dirty secret that only this forum knows about. All the players know what each other is getting even at other schools.
And about the locker room cancer that has been mentioned before overpaying; what about after some games where the d dense gets slashed up? You think the players would care about a guy that gets overpaid or losing?
If Harold Perkins gets tired of being trucked by game six, you think he’s going to say, “oh well, at least we didn’t over pay for d Williams”.

I doubt Damonic Williams got $1.5 million. Doubt that very seriously.

Thats always a risk but if you recruited players that have priorities above the money (not that money doesn't matter at all) AND you are fair to your roster, meaning the best players make the most and it trickles down from there. Then you shouldn't run in to that issue as much.
Its like having a wife while making $80k a year. If all she cares about is how much you make then she might look at the guy making $200k a year and say I'd rather get divorced and marry him. BUT if you have a wife that holds the same values as you and you don't cheat on her (over pay a rent a player) then your $80k will be enough for her.
Maybe not a perfect analogy but the point is that its about setting the precedent on how money will be handled/distributed on your team based on performance AND recruiting players whose goals are to win a NC and go to the NFL more than chase the cash in college.

Perkins did stay all 3 years so this is a dumb hypothetical. The money aspect isn't the only part of roster retention but over paying average players is definitely a recipe for disaster.
