You have to give Cignetti more credit than that. Yes, he utilized NIL and the transfer portal but it's not like he was out bidding schools for 5*s. He judged talent in the G5 world and pulled from there. A lot came from JMU where he did the same thing.

Rich people love money and aren't in the business of setting it in fire for an 18-19 year old kid that can turn on them after a year.

Go to Orange Beach Marina and look at all the 65-92’ Vikings lined up. And those are the poors who don’t own their own private docks. Many of those guys are each spending $5-10 million a year to go fishing. Art Favre spent $1 million on his boat house, to keep his $9 million boat in, right behind his $5 million dollar beach house. He owns The Wharf Marina, yet still spent a million on a boat house. Because it is pocket change to him. And he is only worth an estimated $1.2 billion. What about people worth 5, 10, 50 times that?

It costs $9,000 to $16,000 in fuel to fill up one of those big sportfish. And they literally burn it, trip after trip. Add in all the overhead, maintenance and salaries and it adds up. A lot of those guys have an “open checkbook” when it comes to their boats.

Look at how much it costs to own, maintain and fly a private jet. It would be much, MUCH more economical to fly commercial. But the wealthy gladly burn that money.

The owner of Done Deal showed up at “my marina” before a tournament once in two boats, his Viking and his mothership - with his helicopter strapped down on top of it.

So sometimes billionaires DO just burn their money.

If someone came up to me and told me that for $200 they could just about guarantee Alabama would make it to the quarterfinals I would take that deal and hand them $200 without blinking.

We can thank that shithole state California for all of this.

Those are all status symbols to where people can point out and say that's so and so's yacht, beach house, etc.

Some booster spending millions for a college championship isn't going to get anywhere near the recognition or credit of a pro sports owner.

Larry Ellison spent all that money on Bryce Underwood, but he will be far down the list of people receiving credit should Michigan win again.

1) when you have that much f u money the roi is in joy and pleasure, ask techs billionaire.

2) winning a natty accumulated millions for universities

3) you can have nil in exchange for endorsements which does accumulate roi

Yes, being Aggies.

Well your team should know!!!

The truly wealthy burn up untold amounts of money on whatever interests they have.

People wont accept it because most never go on their properties or deal with them.

There was this guy in North Mississippi who I knew to be worth over 300 million for a fact. Cheap skate really. But he did love him some hunting and wildlife. He had 3k acres of the best duck hunting in the world....on the river....as a duck preserve. Im not kidding.

Had 6k acres in in Quitman County for duck hunting though.....but no deer hunting......had what amounts to a small hotel built as his company's Corp retreat there . Planted entire fields of crops he never harvested. No lie.

They will absolutely burn money up.

A current tally of the number of accounts who have contributed “but Alabama….”

LSU: 8
Texas: 3
Auburn: 2
Arkansas: 1
Tennessee: 1
