They have tons of it. The donors are expecting multiple championships though with that kind of coin they put up. We saw how NIL money affected Spencer Rattler and DJ Uiageleli. Money changes everything and there will be a lot of pressure on all of these kids to perform.

If they don’t pay all the players they will have serious locker room problems. Hopefully it’s not sustainable

I have no idea the terms of these deals, but I’m setting the over at 10.

What’s the over under on the amount of transfers coming out of AtM next year?

Depends on whether the payments are taxed in 2021 or 2022.

I know for a fact it was more than that. The President delivered it himself.

Are you serious? $450k won't set you for life, but it's definitely life changing.

That's nearly ten times the average annual income in Louisiana.

There’s gonna be a big come to Jesus in a few years when some of these big money donors realize how much of a dumb investment 17-18 year old kids are. I’m sure some aren’t going to be happy dropping six figures on a kid who doesn’t pan out.

Just go back and find all the threads made about Perkins when he was A&M bound, edit his name out, and replace it with Mathews. It’s literally all the same shite.

This is the game now. Don’t shite on the players for playing by the rules and treating it as a job.

Why would LA get any taxes from a kid taking up residency in TX? If anything its a wise move on his part since TX has less taxes.

Jimbo is of the opinion that you can buy a championship...He's raised tons of $$$ from the A&M alumni....Maybe with the existence of NIL, he's right...I hope not, but we'll see.
I recall that owner Tom Yawkey spent millions for years trying to buy a championship for the Red Sox until it finally happened..."Go to hell A&M"....
