IOW, he's buying the best players for his chosen university and it's a good thing for the players? And... pay for play is good thing too? Clown.

Love the energy.

 

I’d like to see what kinda return he’s getting on these NIL deals.

 

Oh Ruiz is toast. They are comparing him to Elizabeth Holmes and her Company Theranos. She got an 11 year prison bid, what awaits Mr. Ruiz?

 

Somebody tell me I'm not crazy. Why Ruiz out here looking like a Great value version of Vin diesel?

 

he would look great in an orange jumpsuit

 

We did it with usf last year but we sucked and kept the money.

 

These numbers are not all reported the same way.

 

Dear Santa,

Please make this happen...

 

"Only a 369K increase"

sheesh... That's a 23% increase from one year to the next and $369k is a helluvalot of money.

 

not one year, from 2019 to 2022 and 23% increase over that span is chump change compared to slUT (81% more) and leg-humpers 181% more.

 

Clout

 

Yikes.

 

Yeah, a lot of that discrepancy can simply be how/where dollars are applied. Also UF travel expense lower since so much efoort is focused in a close geographic footprint.

 

Yep, over 3 year span. Missed that. However, still outspending ALL SCHOOLS but 9. If you want them spending more I am sure the UAA is always accepting donations.
I think we have the right coach and structure established now. The confidence to invest more will come as the ROI is demonstrated. Nobody was throwing money at Mullen (nor was he probably asking for it) to ramp up his already stellar recruiting.

To you point- UT's ROI...
Tennessee spent a lot and got NCAA investigation
Only Georgia and Alabama spent more on recruiting than Tennessee over the past six years.

But the Vols didn't have much to show for it except an NCAA investigation that alleges 18 Level 1 recruiting violations under former coach Jeremy Pruitt.

From 2017-22, Tennessee averaged $1.79 million in recruiting expenses per year. Georgia ($2.75 million), Alabama ($1.91 million), Clemson ($1.66 million) and Texas A&M ($1.57 million) rounded out the top five during that period.

But Tennessee didn’t sign a top-10 class until a No. 9 ranking in 2023 under coach Josh Heupel.
