For me, there isn't enough data yet to show the long-term effects yet. There is no doubt it can be a one or two year fix, but are you sacrificing years 3, 4 and 5?Quote:

In ULM's case, there are a lot of weaknesses to address, so might be a good one year fix, I just don't see building a consistent program this way.
Who does TJ play for today?Quote:

I know the fan doesnt want to see it that way, but that goes from the coach all the way down to the players.
Some businesses can pay more and offer more then other businesses.
Obviously it went so far that another program(business) was offering him and trying to get him into the transfer portal to offer him a NIL deal to sign(get hired for more money) with that program(business).
Which is illegal and unethical, but it was still done.
Just a reality ! Now it is cutthroat, and wide open for the world to see.

How many kids ride the bench because coaches show favoritism towards another player, or maybe they were never put in a game situation and excel if given an opportunity?
This happens every year!!
We need to find these players and give them a chance, and if we did that and pick up the right players we would be ahead of the pack.
lots of “ifs”
I’m running into more and more former fervent donors across multiple universities that, due to NIL, are done and walked away. A common theme is they’re putting up money for their own child to attend college yet their program needs 6 figure money to give an athlete with zero loyalty. That P2 money will only go so far in time.
It will all crash and burn one day.
TJ left because they brought in a stud QB from AZ who enrolled and left a few days later. Now TX ST has the reining sunbelt player of the year on their rooster QB from JMU.Quote:
