30 million

That is just a talking point for the news cycle today. At the end of the day, extensively using NIL for ANY team is going to be problematic. A divided, selfish locker room who is focused on money rather than love for their university.

I do not fault A&M. They used the rules very effectively. What they are able to do with that NIL talent is still to be seen.

I completely agree. I hope Fisher can deal effectively with the egos that go with a highly ranked class of kids.

I think next year will be better but it will take a few more years of classes like this or close to it to truly accomplish anything of relevance. Good luck to y'all next year. I think you got a good coach and will be very strong again in a couple of years.

I could really see A&M going 8-4 this fall. You can't rely on Freshmen in the SEC at key positions.
