How much has the money game changed?

There is no way anybody on here can answer this question

The old pay-to-play was a car, a no-show job in the summer and some $1,000 handshakes. The idea that people were giving out $100k plus in cash on the reg is silly. Plenty of rich alums would not cross that line, but will now because it’s legal. No comparison to the “old days”

This is pretty much the answer. Big money was occasionally dished out in the past, but the number of boosters willing to cross the line was smaller and same can be said for the recruits that were viewed as “worth the risk”. But it wasn’t millions. Now that it’s wide open, every fan with deep pockets is slinging dough and every mega rich booster has joined the game which is driving the price way up year to year, it seems.

A certain. Bball player with a strong offer was $40,000 and and other items that weren't as significant as the 40K

Now that same player is going to cost you about $750,000

Cam Newton’s going rate in 2009 as a known JUCO superstar was $120k to $180k for one year. Let’s call it $150k. In 2024 that would be about $220k.

Bryce Underwood is getting $3M as a highly touted high schooler with zero collegiate snaps.

I can answer it , you have the money to spend you get the best players . You dont you better hope you have good coaches . It simple bud

Fournette was north of 500K and his dad got a yellow corvette prior to the commitment. That’s when I found out where he was going.

There are exceptions. Cam Newton supposedly got $200k.

But even those are small potatoes compared to today.
