Proof it was about the money for Simmons

Clearly, stating that Texas gave him a fat sum of money that LSU could not, or would not match

It’s all fun and games till he gets tired of losing

I wonder what the dollar amount was

Could be a smart decision financially, could be a bad one. Only Time Will tell. But doesn't past performance show that highly rated recruits have much better draft prospects at LSU then at Texas?

High time preference (only thinking about the present) is a mother fricker.

lets all stop acting like players have never come to LSU for the money and just LOVE the university.

Kelly has said he will not get in bidding wars. Keep that in mind when lsu is leading weeks in advance. The big bags drop last minute.

Harold Perkins says hello.

What Kelly won’t do is bankrupt us for one recruit. $500k here, $1mill there is pocket change for Texas. We’ve got to be more deliberate with our money.

He didn’t say that.

All he said was Texas paid more

Yeah, well I can't blame him.

This. I absolutely love my tigers. But if I worked for LSU and someone offered me way more at another school, I'd heavily consider that. He's not vested in LSU yet so the decision was probably a little clearer for him.

But if you're not a tiger, then you're tigerbait! It's still frick UT

I'm a huge fan of Kelly and he may have said he won't get into a bidding war, but that doesn't mean the boosters won't. All these elite kids are for sale and if you don't bring money to the table, you're not getting any of the elite players. I hate it, but it's the reality of college football!
