This money will dry up when they fail to get the desired results.

99% of teams will not get the desired results.

See a&m

A&M has failed to see the desired results from inception? Don’t think for one minute the before NIL there was not just as much money available to seek desired results. The only difference now is it is above the table. It will be there if not even more going forward . . .

And what exactly has a&m accomplished? You think boosters were putting together $95 million bags for potential incoming recruits?

Not sure about your number but YES

Amounts have been available for as far back as I can know. In the 80’s the relative number to compete was not nearly as high as in the 2020’s and I am sure that the number has increased tremendously with the new over the table legal tender now available. But my point is that A&M has always been in the game at the highest level with no appreciable results for years so why would it dry out now with the same performance. Ego’s make those who provide believe “one day” . . .

How is it not illegal to offer that much money for a kid to transfer ? Where is the NCAA on this?

It is illegal to offer money to transfer. NIL deals can only be worked once on campus. However, the NCAA doesn't care and will hide. Until these coaches start naming names and putting the evidence out in the public, it won't stop. This has been going on forever and we fight it on the high school & middle school level to keep our athletes on our campus.

They are a funny bunch over there. All that money with nothing to show for it.

[Turbine]

If this was new you would see a slow escalation in the amount of NIL money being offered.

The shear 0-60 $ speed of NIL offerings makes it clear the money was being funneled all along.

I can't wait to how official budgets are adjusted.

[Cajun Monkee]

how can we sustain success when this will happen to our best players year in and year out. It’s going to be very hard to compete unless we have some alumni injury lawyers that wanna throw money at players to level the playing field. Unless of course the NCAA steps in and puts caps on these deals. Even the NFL has salary caps

Fingers are going to get burned.

ZZ posted that a player from UNC has been offered $5 million to transfer to two other schools. Maybe so, maybe not. I have hard time wrapping my head around this.

But that kind of money is gonna have some strings attached by the donor(s). If that kid don't start, its gonna hit the fan.

Now coach is bringing in another kid to take the place of the kid I'm paying $5 million dollars who is now gonna sit the bench behind a portal transfer?

I think the simplest, quickest fix is to reinstate the one-year sitout.

This is gonna be fustercluck all the way around.

College football used to be the closest to perfect sport out there. All it needed was a genuine playoff for the National Championship. Then they changed almost everything about it except for that and saved that for last. Now it's an enormous mess.
