Sorry, but neither you nor I are in those meetings. We can differ on those opinions. But NIL gives the money people more power than ever. Its not a stretch to “assume” they want players in exchange for their contributions.
Uh huh.
Now that we've established that it's all assumption that has you in here all up in a panic, the question then arises:
Why are you so dead set on borrowing anxiety from a future you don't even know is real? And why are you in here blowing panic bubbles for the rest of us?
I mean, Swain I can understand. He makes his money by getting viewers and there's no better way than to create as negative a narrative as you can about a subject you know people care about. I mean in the very video you linked, Swain was nothing but self-refuting. He acted as though the sky was falling and he OL staff can't close, while simultaneously calling this year's OL class excellent (and then hand-waving that he didn't want to talk about this year's excellent OL class). He alluded to problems developing players, and then literally hand-waved our 1st round draft pick by saying he doesn't want to talk/hear about it.
So, he claimed they can't recruit by pointing out their recruiting success. He claimed they can't develop by pointing out their development success. If one can't see the agenda in that, then I'm not sure what help there is for them. Did you not see the agenda in that?
Now, what benefit do you get from ignoring all of that so you can assume the worst, panic, and then come here blowing panic bubbles for the rest of us? I'm legitimately asking because I'd really like to understand. Do you not have enough to worry about in life without borrowing all of that "not in the meetings, but it's not a stretch..." assumed anxiety?
