I'm afraid to ask why this is so awesome, I don't want to be accused of being a non-real fan.

He is the key recruiter for Zamir White. Big time RB. Set to announce Tuesday. This should be a good sign.

Been a great recruiter since he got here. If we land Zeus in a few days it's because of him

247 also has him listed as the main recruiter for Fields, FWIW.

Even better. Earn that bonus Dell!

Coach lands a $75k raise for brining in one guy, yet the guy is only worth free tuition.... hmmmm

I don't think he would get it just for bringing in White imo. Now if he persuaded Fields to join White then I would probably consider a $75k raise

Don't forget Swift from this past class. We also almost had Teague had OSU not offered him before his decision date. He had originally committed to us in his commitment video but did a last second edit-job. So McGee has been a really solid recruiter in his time here.

White has built a solid relationship with McGee, so it should help, and hopefully seal the deal with him.

What an odd question to ask

Way to add ten years to push your narrative. If you're going to bitch about it at least use the correct facts.

4 years of tuition with room, housing, parking passes, meals, books, classroom materials is more than $75k.

4 years of $75k is more.

That $75k value is only realized if the reasons those things are given are also realized (i.e. a Bachelor's degree and/or an NFL career of 7-8+ years). Unlike $75k, you can't put room, housing, meals, and books into a money market account to build interest and draw on later. Unless those various things result in the aforementioned degree or longterm career, a player has received nothing for their efforts but 4-5 years of a place to sleep and food to eat.
So, it's not that players in general are never compensated for their efforts. However, if a school recruits an academically underprepared kid and sells him on the idea that he'll be a surefire future multi-year all pro without a meaningful effort to also help him earn a degree when that original pitch inevitably goes to shite (statistically speaking), then they've shanghaied that kid into working for free. The problem is that the exact scenario I just put forth happens all the time all over the place. It's not every football player but it's enough to require some change (fwiw, I don't think schools should be writing students checks but the NCAA should give up the amateurism charade and let guys like Gurley and AJ Green profit off of their own likeness if they so choose).

Understand what you are saying, but a regular student would be paying out that amount of money. If kid has that opportunity and does not take advantage of it, then that is his fault. At the very least, he should/could get a degree, whether or not he makes it in the NFL. The monetary value the player is getting is $75,000. That is what he would be paying if he were paying his own way.....I believe that is their point.

I doubt if any school does that.

The players have access to more help to get that degree than most students....and for free. they have tutors and advisors.

Unless you can show me a school that does not provide tutors etc, then it never happens. No school is going to guarantee a kid he will be an All-Pro. At some point, though, the kid needs to study and get himself prepared.
