Bama paid Albert Means 180k in the early 90s. If TAMU structured 25MM over 4 years, then that breaks down to roughly 200k per year per recruit. Each recruit has to stay at TAMU all four years to get 100% of the money. It seems feasible.

Any player with a hint of NFL potential isn’t staying if they aren’t playing or if they’re ready for the draft

Yeah I considered the whole idea of it being spread out over a few years, but for this to really pay off, you have to back it up with a couple more classes like it.

Now we’re talking about $75-120 million worth of players over 3-4 years… that’s simply not fathomable.

This idea is so overblown. If the recruit leaves, he will get money elsewhere. If he doesn’t get money when he leaves, it means he probably didn’t pan out anyway.
