Who else would be dumb enough to throw millions at kids for no other discernable reason than to win games?

Agreed. I honestly can’t grasp the concept of being so hard up to win games that you would be willing to throw tons of money at high school kids for validation. All big programs have those goobers and NIL has brought them out of the woodwork. A&M fans are definitely coming off as pathetic imo. Not something to brag about if you ask me. Reeks of having tiny dick syndrome.

I was absolutely ecstatic that UGA won the national title last year (maybe the last legitimate title ever unless they fix this NIL mess), but wouldn’t give a dime to a high school kid to do so. I support the program and donate to my alma mater, but paying kids (NIL or otherwise) reeks of desperation and insecurity.

Comes off as totally red neck to me and A&M is leading the charge. Kind of sad that the game I love has become this shite show. I am fully aware that no major programs (including Georgia) were clean before, but now it’s about to spiral out of control and I fully anticipate Georgia will jump in shortly if it is unregulated. Sucks.

You sound like an LSU fan bitching about Alabama for the last 15 years.

Do you really think you can win a bidding war every year with Nike aka Oregon, Big Daddy Oil aka Texas, and Entertainment aka USC?

Can definitely compete with and beat big boys. More big money Aggies in oil than tu. usc has fair weather boosters far more interested in poking skinny little Asians. $6 diesel will cut Nike down several notches.

Good post Bud!

I share your opinion on this and I’m shocked that fans, boosters, donors are willing to fork out millions like this. Will the same folks be willing to continue to financially support the schools fund raising efforts for academics and athletic facilities? Personally, I think the schools may get the short end of the stick in the future. I mean an AD has to glad hand to raise funds for the program, he may have an uphill battle when he has to share $$ with NIL.
