Texas A&M football currently holds the nation’s top recruiting class for 2022. With six five-star prospects, 19 four-stars and three three-stars, the Aggies are loaded.
Among the commitments, head coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff landed the nation’s top-rated linebacker, top-rated defensive lineman and the second-ranked wide receiver. They also kept the nation’s second-ranked quarterback in-state, locking up the program’s biggest need for the foreseeable future.
And, although the class is all-but finished, there is still time to land another prospect or two before or on National Signing Day. With a 247Sports composite score of 328.82, it is the nation’s No. 1 class by more than 11 points over Alabama.

Apparently, Texas A&M’s 2022 recruiting class is set to cost the school’s boosters upwards of $30 million in deals for NIL when the prospects officially enroll.
According to a message board user who goes by SlicedBread, Aggie boosters spent between $25 and $30 million to sure-up the nation’s top class. He reported that the effort was targeted and coordinated.

Here is how it reportedly plays out in College Station:
A recruit is targeted for a specific recruiting class.
A “point donor” then heads the recruiting effort.
The “point donor” gathers other donors around him.
Those donors create an LLC.
The LLC sponsors the targeted recruit and pays out deals for NIL if/when he enrolls.
That recruit, upon arrival on campus, receives money from the LLC.
In turn, the recruit promotes the LLC and its “cause,” whether that be a charity or a business.
According to SlicedBread, the Aggies even have a backstop in place. The deals are structured to keep players in College Station for multiple years.
Contracts are set up as multi-year deals. If a player leaves, he leaves the money behind in Texas.

Its honestly amazing how much run a single post on the internet has gotten. I mean oh my god

It could work, it’ll be interesting to see if Jimbo can get all these incredible players to play together and not be spoiled brats. That’s going to be a tough job

OU Message Board? This wouldn't happen to be payback for texags poster AggieGrant06 blowing the whistle on Big Red Motors and getting Rhett Bomar ruled ineligible for OU now would it?

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, between Covid and this NIL bullshite, the 2019 LSU Tigers were the last true champions of college football.

This isn’t really what the spirit of NIL was supposed to be for. Players obviously were getting paid before, but with the addition of the portal, there’s no way this doesn’t destroy college football.

can't wait for it to all perennially implode on their faces with 3+ losses per year after dishing out hundreds of millions on players and coaching
