Love it. Way to use the rules to your advantage to attract the best OL possible. Hope they do this with other position groups as well.
A few from what I can remember, the sheer number of of kids in the portal make it hard to keep up. Cristobal going to Miami possibly opens things up for 2 highly rated OL.
We'll see, Just depends on the baseline of what positions get paid. Going with the new NIL rules it's going to change the baseline from players being able to get a FREE education to the Schools with the most money are going to get the best players. As a UT fan the NIL was a godsend.
How is it a godsend? The teams that they will be competing with for these players can match anything UT can offer and it's not like they have been getting the bottom of the barrel players anyway.
Because UT is probably the wealthiest team in college football. I didn't look it up Plenty of willing/wealthy donors. This is just a strart.
You do know UT is not giving this money out right? So them being wealthy does not matter and it still does not refute the fact that this particular thing will not give them an advantage which was my point all along. And like I said UT has been in the top 10 in recruiting for the past decade yet they still have issues so why is this gonna make them better?
They legally set up a foundation to funnel the money through. I look at past recruiting differently than you do. I mean how well did they really recruit when Thompson/Card are your QB's? Now bring in a guy like Murphy/Ewers/and eventually Manning then we can talk about how great the UT recruiting classes are.
Wow so now UT suffers from recruiting and even if you actually believe that this o-line program will not put them over the top because any of the top 10 programs can match that which is the point I am making. So once again 50'000 dollars is not game-changing in any way especially for 4 and 5-star recruits.
Why does Quin Ewers care about money so much? Dude joined OSU presumably so he could get paid NIL money, now he's going back to Texas partially because he gets another NIL contract? Seems like a red flag to me. If he believed in himself so much, he would go to the best situation for him to get a better NFL development.
A person who just doesn't get it. Do you think the new NIL rules aren't going to help the most wealthy schools the most? This is just the beginning of the NCAA becoming a minor league for NFL football. In theory and I could see this happening a NFL team could get XYZ State to hire a coach that runs that NFL teams system and become a feeder system for that NFL team.
