Life's a gamble.

It’s funny to see people commenting on billionaires like they have any idea. It’s all percentages. Billionaires aren’t cheap. They didn’t make a billion dollars by being cheap. They were risk takers and got what they wanted by being smart and hard working.
If a billionaire wants something and it costs him 0.5% of his net worth he’ll buy it everyday and twice on Sunday. The 1st billion like the 1st million is hard. After that you can’t stop the train. If a billionaire booster at LSU wants this guy Seaton and Lane agrees, he’s ours. Same for Oregon.

LT is considered the 2nd most important position behind QB
IN college, this is getting stupid
this better be for multiple years
6.7 is more than our star QB is getting and he's hurt, so we dropping money everywhere

That is QB money. If his price tag is that high and he is acting like a prima donna, I say that we are fine right now without him.

Man that’s a big risk that could be a waste of money should he get hurt or get arrested or just quit putting out effort.
Seems like some should be gauranteed and the balance based on performance / snaps

What process is used to "value" a given player?

Maybe this is where you use an old sales tactic of pulling the deal off the table. You blame yourself for not doing a good job of selling LSU and wish him luck. Almost always, the prospect wants what they can't have and do they do deal with you.

Yes, $20M+ per season for the 2nd most important position.

I don’t actually believe the money claimed by the nobody who made the original claim unless it is a multi-year deal, as you said. I was just putting the numbers in proper context. $3M-$3.5M per year would be proportionally reasonable compared to what LSU reportedly paid Leavitt.

Man we don't need him that much. If Kiffin is the coach we think he is he can get it done with what we have
Posted on 1/21/26 at 7:53 pm to Covingtontiger77
GTFO. Pathetic

Blake Rufino reported it to be 2.5 to 3.0 mill

Time for Kiffin to tell him shite or get off pot

How does this logic work when billionaire boosters from both schools want him?

At that price, I think you need to be able to run block.

Because you've never been one of the highest demanded "employees" in multi-billion dollar marketplace. His age is irrelevant.

They will never know how many decades it takes for the common middle class households to earn 4 million dollars
Who cares? The "common middle class" person is not a high level college football player. It's simple supply and demand. The supply of top 5-10 left tackles is low. The supply of common middle class people is much, much, higher
College football fans have to adjust their way of thinking. CFB is NOT a scholastic extracurricular activity, and it hasn't been for a LONG time. It's a multi-million/billion dollar entertainment BUSINESS. No different than the NFL.
The NFL generates revenue, primarily, through three different avenues:
1. Media rights deals (TV contracts)
2. Game day sales (tickets, luxury boxes, concessions, in-stadium advertising, etc)
3. Licensing of their brand/marks
That EXACTLY the same way college football conferences/programs make money. Only college programs have wealthy donors to fill in the market deficiency created because the players (labor) don't have a high % of the revenue share like in the NFL.
The 10 highest paid LTs in the NFL earn an average of $25.2M per season. The highest paid player makes $28.5M. Obviously the NFL is a more lucrative market than major conf. college football. But when you adjust for scale, $4M-$5M for a guy considered to be the top LT "free agent" is probably in line with the market.

Don't we have like 50 million in NIL? With 40 transfers, how much of that is left?
