They may not be on the level financially that donors from other schools are. Im sure there are some out there that can drop 100 million and it doesnt make a ripple in their finances.
Something else to consider, can we afford a 4* guy as a depth piece. Maybe our budget only allows for a 3* to be in his position on our team.
If we only knew a depth piece would suffice, I guess. Do we have four SEC DTs at this point? If we did, a couple of depth DTs, one of which could likely play at a high level might do it. Going by feel, seems that we lost a real good DT.
I'm struggling to find (in this thread) where any poster criticized donors contributing to our athletic dept. In fact, I only noted one somewhat hysterical poster that criticized the UF Athletic Dept as being "cheap." Even he didn't call out donors by name.
Perhaps he thinks the coaching will get him to the NFL. Did not work for. Charlie Weis. Belichek getting u other in age. ACC means he will be playing against lesser talent. ACC means he lessened the likelihood of a NFL career. Maybe a guaranteed starting role in addition to NIL?
Thats who you can call cheap if you choose to do so. The schools arent paying players so boosters are the target whether he realizes who he is talking about or not.
Id think starting and money for sure. May not be a bad decision for him. Wont be playing in marque games on tv though.
Like wanne said, the donors are the guys funding the NIL deals. If you’re saying UF is cheap because they didn’t cater to Robinson’s NIL demands, you’re insulting the guys who actually fund the deals, not UF. I don’t think I made the claim that someone was called out by name. I didn’t even specify that someone called anyone cheap, just said it’s a shitty thing to do, and it’s something that’s implied, if not said directly, all the time.
