Why do people donate when they don't have to??


For the better good, that's why

We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of 4-5 years. I seriously doubt Eric would pay that much money and if he did I would worry about his financial sense. NFL=Not For Long and those millions have to last for the next 50-60 years.

I've never said EB would or would not do it. I just raised the question of it being a possibility because Butch is recruiting like he has more spots. Everybody wants to say the numbers will work themselves out, but that's just not true..... people are turned away from every major college program every year because there are simply not enough scholarships. We see it every year...Saban asks guys to greyshirt on NSD, Florida tells a signed guy he didn't get admitted, etc, etc. The numbers just don't add up for Tennessee, even when you figure in attrition.

Maybe Butch is going to tell some guys we have committed...you know what, we can't offer you that scholarship after all. Idk. I hope not, but something has to give. I'm just looking at possible explanations and so far, I've seen nothing that says it's impossible for the Berrys to do this. Unlikely...perhaps. Impossible..no.

Eric Berry is the highest paid safety in the NFL. Take one look at the donations Peyton Manning has made to the university over the years and your case holds no water.

Sadly the Berry's probably already know this is being discussed. It's not illegal, has been done before. That is a moot point. Please, please just turn this thread back into an Evan thread and not how he is arriving at his ultimate destination. A destination where he will receive tons of love and support regardless of how he arrives. GBO !!!

Second.

IMO there is so much going on with this Class in recruiting that we will have no idea what the outcome will be until NSD. It will be a solid class is what we know for sure. CBJ is not going to damage his repetition or the staff's on this year's class alone and has to look at the future classes as well.

We just need to sit back and relax with a wait and see approach versus all the speculation. I am sure what ever happens between now and the day after NSD will work out for the best.

Speculation at this point causes drama. Haven't we had enough the past 5 years. Give it a break...Plus it just inflames a bunch of tempers and I told you so attitudes.

Sometimes I think Social media just kills processes. The best part of it is that CBJ and Staff have not gotten caught up in it. CBJ has stated his vision and what his process is and how he is getting there. He has not swayed one iota from this path. He has got a plan for the Berry twins and how they fit into the recruiting picture, so let's not muddy the waters with speculation.

IMO, There is an agreement in place with a lot of options it's the fans opinions/speculations that keep muddying up the water. Let it go.

EB makes alot of money, but the difference between him and Peyton is big. Peyton makes a ridiculous amount on endorsements.

Now that is said, let's move on. I agree that we need to discuss how they will fit and not speculate as to how they get here. This will all unfold next February.
