Yes, but just because a person graduated from a school and becomes a billionaire doesn't mean he or she will give any to the school and certainly not the athletic program. Like I said before if Harvard alums wanted to buy the best team in the country they probably could because of the massive...

Not sure what it means and certainly some numbers don't make sense with TAM paying about 1/4 what Oregon pays and about 1/2 of what UT pays. There may be 2 kinds of NIL payments. Just don't know. But this does confirm what some coaches have said....that is that Oregon pays the most...or at least...

This shows NIL per player for the highest paid rosters. According to this Oregon pays the most per player. I assume this means the average of every player on the roster...

I've read that of all positions HS CB's are the most difficult to evaluate. Not sure of the reason.

This..... Please quit making things worse by judging him and/or his family without knowing all the facts. Let CJH handle it.

No. As I posted previously ... Kirby Smart and Chip Kelly have both said nobody will outbid Oregon if they want a player bad enough. That's probably correct since Phil Knight ($44 billion) is an avid booster and Steve Ballmer's ($118 billion) wife was an Oregon cheerleader and is on the...

A few recruiting tidbits. Pavia said Vandy has more NIL money than UT. Don't know if he's correct but do know he said it. Kirby Smart and Chip Kelly have both said nobody will outbid Oregon if they want a player bad enough. That's probably correct since Phil Knight ($44 billion) is an avid...

RE: All of our "big gets" turn out to be basically busts-JG, Nico, Hurd, Boo etc etc etc. This is not limited to one coaching staff. Not sure what you mean by one coaching staff (different staffs at the same school or staffs of multiple schools) but every one of those busts was wanted by many...

Take it for what it's worth (and I don't doubt it) but Pavia said Vandy had more NIL money available than UT.

He's a good coach but the probability of him or any coach taking us to a National Championship under the present environment is very slim. The schools with the most NIL money will be playing for that title year after year and I doubt we're in the top 15 of that group.

Lot of truth here and like it or not money is going to be the biggest factor in roster composition as long as the present situation persists.

This. They were the better team and as individual players they were as good as us at most positions and WAY better at one skill position.

IMO we haven't had a good QB since Hooker left. Heupel overestimated Iamaleava as did about 50 other coaches including Saban. And Milton was mediocre at best. We were lucky to get Aguilar considering the time constraints Nico imposed upon us and he's been a little better but he's still middle...

Re: "Middle of the field was open the entire game and we never exploited it." There may be a reason we didn't but I agree.
