    Put them in the SEC and give them our schedule. Playing BC, wake forest, etc doesn’t compare.

    No, it’s just killing us. It’s a boon for teams who can adapt to the new norms.

    Is it though? Miami spent big, hasn't really paid off yet, no desired results and already losing some of those players from that class, A&M spent BIG , same thing, no results losing bought players from that class and they lost their coach. To me. It just seems like it's the same group of schools it has been, in regards to.results on the field. of these schools that have spent big on NIL to "win now" haven't won chit. USCw, great example, spent that money on Addison, Williams and others had a bad season. I think what we are seeing is simply throwing money around at players still isn't the solution to winning (its of course a big part of getting the players) but there are still some vital elements needed tonbe a championship winning team and culture.

    I think it’s more that the top teams have been cheating for 10-20 years and are now using NIL as cover. The new money schools are still learning the ropes and are just throwing money around without having built the infrastructure the top schools already have so it looks like they’re flailing.

    Having your feet on the road to probably first round NFL Draft is not one you get off of. Don’t even come close to getting this one.

    Maybe we should be looking at how this “big” money if effecting the brains of these young men. Going forward they need to realize what big money means as making what to them seems like a ton now, won’t get you through life and won’t be guarantee again. What makes him think he can learn another system and create his output somewhere else.

    Hopefully when there are 1000s of soon to be poor again kids become men, the kids watch.
