    One guy is writing most of those checks (for multiple sports)...and Lagway was a bargain and not a "pay me the most money" type kid.
    I would agree that winning likely loosens some wallets, we kind of hit that chicken vs the egg scenario there

    Cignetti’s trajectory is more like Deboer’s.

    Yep, and it sure was easy to tell who had the best men and largest bags prior to NIL. They were the ones consistently in the Top 5 and in the playoff hunt year in and year out.

    It’s like you can see and talk to dead people, but everyone else thinks you’re crazy.

    Our AD was telling them to put it towards facilities instead of players.

    Initially, think that changed ....probably not soon enough. BUT there is still a huge % that won't go for NIL (and I understand why)

    Yeah...I mean imagine if you were writing a monthly check for a certain safety on our roster last season who basically quit as the season started and just kind of hung around. Knowing my hard earned money was going there would be nauseating

    I can’t imagine cutting a check for one even if they’re good, lol. I still never see my money again.

    The problem is if you don’t pay for players then there is zero need to upgrade the facility.
