I don’t think offering him $2M is letting him walk :lol:

Yea I don’t recall anyone ever thinking it was going to be a good thing, but was a consolation for players before NIL to appease them.

My feeling is different than most of you guys. I dont think it is as much money issue as it is the status of the program. I think they all get paid equal or near equal somewhere else that is not a 5 win program

It’s more than just those two things but that absolutely plays into it. As of now we only really know rough figures on two players and they are getting big raises and are still transferring. So, it is silly to assume everyone else that is transferring is because we are undercutting them.

Beyond program status, we are going to have a big culture shift and accountability change. Unfortunately there are going to be some that aren’t going be down for that too.

So nothing? I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.

Penny pinching was a compliment compared to what I think about those clowns NOW

So what have we offered everyone else and what are they asking for?

Deuce wasn’t convinced we wouldn’t just portal over him next year too.

Deuce my man, that is completely dependent on you big dog.

Eh, I respect this more than a lot of players out there. When he entered the portal, they didn't have a hire/staff in place. He is giving the new staff a fair chance and will also get a chance to meet with the other potential transfers coming in. If he was doing this while OSU still had the same coach, then i'd agree it is beyond absurd.

At this point, don’t know if it really matters but Hoke adding some credence to this:

I am also sure a bunch will be shocked when they see their market value may not reflect what they thought.
