Heupel and the portal.

[onthehill71]

Thank you, mistaking the two piles of revenue has caused a lot of confusion by a lot of people.

You're blaming Heupel for us not having the money to go out and get dudes that other schools are throwing $3-5M at. You can't rely on being able to just go buy a whole new team in the portal every year. That's an extremely volatile strategy vs building a team through development and filling holes with the portal. If we had $40M every year, I'd agree. We don't.

And if we had 40 million we can't spend it. There's a 20 million cap on all teams.

That's for rev share, not NIL

There is no limit on NIL, only revenue sharing.

I stand corrected. Schools are limited.

QB offers have gotten out of hand. The 10% talent fee on ticket sales is not even enough to rent a top tier QB for 1 year.

I'm not asking anything. I'm saying how it is, if Tennessee can't keep up it is what it is. Gone are the days were you develop players from HS for 3-4 years unless they are already highly rated, look at how many 5 star busts at QB there have been these past few years. The truth is this is the best thing for those lower rated players also, its better for them NOT to come sit on the bench but go to a smaller school and get playing time, then transfer out later.
Josh has been trying too hard to get 3stars from highschool when we can go get better players NOW from smaller schools, all with college playing time. It's not even about the big names and money, it's about common sense, why gamble on 3 star highschool players when you can get known players with actual playing time?

Because it cost a lot more money. I don't know how much we have to spend

 

[cgrish]

That may not ever even see meaningful snaps. Just dead money and then they hit the portal.

They hit the portal mostly because they are not playing, speaking of hs recruits

I'm starting to feel a little better about things.

I read on On3 we are Top10 in football NIL. Oregon and a handful of others have 50-100% more than us. There are 5 or 6 programs with money in another tier above us.

If money is the driver then, why are we not in the Top 10? We obviously have some work to do.
