Louisville with their 2nd 5 star

We needs to get to spending

That graphic is hilariously bad.

That's a lot of Papa John pizzas.
Wonder if the bag man just leaves the cash in a bunch of pizza boxes....

Well he isn’t going to the dwags so it seems at least one ACC team knows how the game is played. Go Cards.

 

[midatlantech]

You would think that a nil can be overbid at any moment

 

[GoGATech]

I give it a >95% chance that at least one of them doesn't sign with Louisville. I would say >60% chance that neither does.

 

[BrentwoodJacket]

How does this work? Do they sign a contract that is contingent on committing in writing and enrolling in school?

 

[TechRush]

Finally more teams in the ACC are catching on to how it's done in 2022 instead of sitting on their hands and doing it the "right" way. Fighting fire with fire!

Also, I don't know what recruiting sites they are going by, but they don't have anybody that is a 5 star per rivals or 247.

Not a 5 star on On3 either. May end up one, given the position rank.

Why would anyone use the word "suspicious" to describe what is happening? Recruiting is basically an ebay auction now.

 

[RamblinWreck09]

Lol.

If I had Musk/Bezos/Gates/Buffet money I'd go to a school like New Mexico State or Charlotte and tell them their recruiting budget is $100M/year, all on me. They don't even need to change the name of the stadium.

Is Louisville going to start pulling their football weight in the ACC? They are 33-33 in the conference so far, interesting fact.

Because all players must be bought by SEC schools; anything else is suspicious.

I would too. And then I would make the nil dependent on the mens bball, soccer, and track teams identifying as women. Absolute blowout all year long in those three sports.

Good lord it looks like my art when I first learned photoshop.

Maybe the NIL won't completely replace the bag men. A top recruit might choose a cash incentive, rather than (or in addition to) some taxable NIL money. The top factories already have the cash system in place, and it might turn out that they can't "go straight" without losing the best athletes. Saban's complaint about the system might be that the financial incentive game has gotten more complicated, and he's just lost some of his advantage.

This is the way, commit to a school to create scarcity and leverage that to bargain for more NIL $ at the colleges with the deep pockets.

Our head coach recruits really well

I know this is supposed to be a jab at Collins but FWIW he has recruited light years better than Satterfield for the last 3 years. This has nothing to do with UL's head coach and all to do with NIL money they are getting. We are not getting NIL support we need and the school, administration, nor athletics department has any control over that.
