It won’t last. That’s a lot of money for literally nothing in return for most investors

My thoughts, too. It’s going to get really old writing those checks every year.

I’ve heard of the golden goose, but this is a bird of a different feather.

Isn't ours something like 11-12 million? Or has it increased?

That was the number I saw for basketball.

Saw somebody giving some away on FB yesterday, no way I'd pay that much for a rooster.

Let's be real. Where do all these donors actually get their money's worth and ROI from these contracts? Some of these roster payrolls are exceeding the actual profits of the Athletic Departments.

Everyone jumped on the bandwagon, but now you have to recruit your roster atleast 3 times a year and go on an a** kissing tour the rest of the time. CJH was the first coach to revolt and he just did what others have wanted to do. The Law of Dimishing returns is gonna kick in with these coaches and collectives. Nico was a good case study. He took free money and provided no expected services that he was supposed to honor.

CJH just got to the point with Nico and his low work ethic and said eff it, I'm not living like this. It may be a slow roll, but other coaches will follow suit. And the market will crash.

I think so too. Only one team gets to be the champion and everybody else is gonna be so prissy after trying to raise the ante a couple times.

Yeah I don't believe that at all and here's the thing you could never really prove what anyone is getting outside of making public a tax return. Even then, people lie all the time on their taxes so that is unreliable as well.

Seems like a crazy amount of money, but with NIL deals exploding, it’s not surprising. The top programs are just in a whole different league now. It’s shifting college football into more of a pro-sports vibe, which has its pros and cons.

Who are the idiots that pony up that kind of coin?

Nothing good about it

Good for the players. Bad for everyone else. Which is the reverse of what it used to be. I call that poetic justice. Don't whine now if you were quiet before.

I wasted years warning that it would be unimaginably hard for everyone - Tennessee included - to compete at the highest levels with the big bucks at Ohio State and Texas. Or even Oregon. Nike and oil/mineral money were never going to be outspent.

Well. Buckle up. Because no matter how much money you put on the table, the biggest schools will always be able to put down more.

And now that recruiting is almost solely about money, it isn't going to get better. UT will always be one in the pack. Never leading it.

After this season, I will probably find something better to do with my time. No whining.

I think the big donors will stick around longer that the many little guys that contribute to collectives on a monthly basis.
