Yes, Marshall and Offord and others "got away". And you scream, "It's Hugh's fault!!!" Hew let _____ get away!!! We didn't offer ________ enough!!! Spend More!!! Why didn't we offer more?!? You whine and bitch - but do you analyze at all beyond blaming the Head Coach?!?
We lose Marshall, and earlier, Babalola, to Michigan and people here cry about it and blame Hew. But do you know why we lost them?? Larry Ellison, the 5th richest guy in the world according to Forbes, co-founder of Oracle, funds Michigan's NIL. He has $141 Billion and his wife is a UM grad. He's opened his pocketbook to UM's NIL. And Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy, a UM grad, gave them $3 million - just for Underwood.
Oregon signed Offord and had the top rated class because "Uncle Phil" as the football organization calls him, Phil Knight, opened his immense checkbook(net worth $36 Billion) to buy them the class. Offord said this yesterday, "He(Knight) played a big role, like a huge, big role. He's got a lot of stuff planned for me. He's gonna help me make my shoe."
This is what we're competing against. And,
OSU's collective raised $20 Million last year, who knows how much they raised for this cycle.
Spyre Sports Group procured $30 million for this cycle for Tennessee.
B Kelly whines yesterday, "It's about the most money I can get", (for NIL) when he starts his press conference. And LSU raises a LOT.
Bless Jimmy Rane's heart!! He has a billion dollars - thank the Lord he has it and is willing to fund AU. You all want to spend his money without thought. But unless Tim Cook suddenly is interested in football we are fighting with a knife in a gun battle.
It is truly amazing that we signed the class we did.
