This really isn't directed at you, I appreciate you providing the information you have, but I highly doubt that "payroll company" source is legit. It wouldn't surprise me that dudes are making that much, but the payroll company would be breaking at least a dozen federal and state laws to leak the information and its execs would be risking decades in prison.
I never heard of the company before I read this article but it sounds legitimate.

I don’t believe it’s nil. just think that our coaches aren’t that great at recruiting. I know someone close to Amari Jefferson and they didn’t have a whole lot of good to say about any of our staff other than coach heup. Take it for what it is.

Our best recruiters are probably Garner and Mack and Heupel at this time.

The reality is recruiting is a money game. The highest bidder will get the kids.
I’m wondering where TN stacks among these NIL deals?

Tennessee's is recognized as one of the top NIL programs. Maybe number one.

Losing Seaton today was not because of money. Other schools thought he was coming here because of our money for him. Colorado did not give him what we would have.

We haven't gotten more than 1 5 star in each of Heupel's classes and we are NOT in the top 5 in recruiting in any poll the past 2 years as well. I would say Spyre needs to set it up.

The first big miss they had was Francis Mauigoa. We desperately needed great offensive linemen and he has already looked solid at Miami. We can't outbid the ACC?

We are able to pay for players. The money is there. But we don't chose to try to outspend everyone else for players. Certain ones, we might. Most no.

They evaluate and decide how much a player is worth to them. Several sources outside UT have been saying no one would match UT for Seaton. In the end, money didn't matter.

Even more disappointing that we can't dominate recruiting when we're better set up than anyone.

I would have to think those rankings are just based off Nico getting 8 Mil.

Maybe UT was highest bidder but I’m pretty sure Colorado was pretty close. As long as the money is in the same ballpark, they probably choose the school they like for whatever reason. It is not always the highest bidder.

He loves him some Prime Time? You tell us what it means. If money bought champions the Yankees and Cowboys would be champions every year
This is college football. Completely different sports. It tells me that Colorado paid more than we did. This is a hat college football is now. I mean Deion got Travis Hunter (#1 overall) to commit to Jackson State. Come on man. Hunter could have went anywhere but he chooses Jackson State?

It sure feels like it is leaning that way. We have struggled closing in high school recruiting. If we swing and miss on some of these big time portal guys.... 😬 yikes!!

Latest I heard was we might be missing on Juice Wells because of money...how???
It’s because of our ridiculous “we don’t overpay crap.” Look at Auburn. Flipping 5* from Bama and UGA. And looking to flip another one from FSU. How are they doing it? They are willing to do whatever it takes to get the best players. We aren’t. We are using EBT cards while other schools are using American Express Black cards. It ridiculous.

Since 2008 Saban was far far ahead in under the table buying of players, protected 100% by Birmingham based SEC office, Championships followed, Kirby left and Ga used same buying formula and told SEC office if it came after him he would expose everything about Satan. Championships for 2 years.
sabin owns car dealerships,been providing cars to recruits for decades

Except he is. Completely

BoT fabricates an alternate reality where he's 100% knowledgeable and right and then argues with anyone who might disagree. It's his shtick.

Our only hope of escape in this thread is for a brown man to enter...

NIL has screwed up college football. They should have offered the kids 10k in cash along with scholarship. No one gets more or less. Hell all they really wanted in the beginning was damn spending money.

We just got outbid for the #1 OL by Colorado. What does that tell you?
Every year there is someone that Sanders has targeted to throw a bunch of money at to get them at the school. This year it was a highly ranked lineman because they are hurting soo bad on the lines. The rest of the class is not ranked that high. That is part of his bling.

You are a clown. I give my opinion. Do I think I am right? Yes. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But it’s ones like you who just willfully ignore evidence that’s staring you in the face that’s pathetic.

So we can’t compete with Colorado when it comes to money. Got it.

You've literally ignored all evidence posted that completely refutes your alternate reality. You've done it multiple times in multiple threads around the board and I'm the clown?
