Would playing in Chicago get a player more media hype than Tebow did at florida or Devonta Smith or Najee Harris dud at Alabama?

Certainly it would also depend on how good they are. You put those three in Chicago, Los Angeles or New York and the answer would be certainly. Easily.

Do you think Tebow would have gone to Florida if another school had dangled thousands of dollars worth of endorsement deals at him? I mean, Tebow might have.

Thing is, a lot of the Alabama players go to Alabama because of the success they have. If a tone of those 5* players start going to UCLA, USC, Syracuse and some of those schools for the dollars they would start having the success and then the players would have more reasons to go there.

Look, apparently you are blinded to the fact, that the upper tier players essentially want to make money. Most are not playing for the love of a school, but playing so they can put themselves in better positions to be drafted into the NFL and make big contracts. Now, think about what would happen if they could make those dollars if they go to media centers....which would have more money to give.

I find it difficult to believe that you can't see that the players will go where the money is. Free Agency in basketball, football and baseball should tell you that.

A tone of pro athletes make a huge amount of money on endorsements.
