re: Texas A&M spending nearly $30M on their recruiting class.

You would be surprised Darren Woods,Greg Garland,and a couple other Alumni make over $100 million a year just between them in salary every year.There is no telling how many millionaire alumni they have

the whole SEC has boosters like that

The whole SEC doesn’t have the President of Exxon Mobile and ConocoPhillips as alumni.And that was just a small glimpse of the money those GigEm douches have.Their endowment is probably 20 times what LSU’s is.It’s a sad reality.Hell Arkansas has Walmart,Jerry Jones,Tyson Chicken,etc etc.There is no telling how this money stuff will shift some power around.Luckily for us the state of Louisiana is full of talent that we can get too way earlier than other schools.We can definitely compete we have enough money.I think where the people like A&M with stupid money have an advantage is they can go get the best players in other areas when they want to throw stupid money at them.Like a QB from California or something to that effect if they want them bad enough they can pay them enough to not say no

Walter Nolen reportedly turned down 500k from Tennessee according to some guys I know from up there. Take that FWIW.

Hate to break it to you, but Texas had multitudes of that type of money. My daughter is a student there are i think 3 or 4 of her good friends parents or family members are in top 100/300 (whatever that list that came out in Fall), richest people in the world. Multi multi Billionaires. The money there is fricking unreal. Tons of super rich California people now too.

Faggies know what’s coming and are scared and making their move now for a reason. Texas can spend 100 million for a championship easy, and will not be out spent by Faggies.

I am not sure anyone can win a bidding war with them

I’m telling you man it’s the truth haha. And it’s spread out through four years so you can’t transfer. Some players got more than others.

Or not.

They could be the next coming of UGA or Bama.

But there already is a UGA and a bama. And they play in the same conference. Big brother about to join the club too and won’t be out spent

All aTm is doing is being extremely disruptive. The kids are clearly being paid above market value which will be corrected from here but will be a shite show along the way. Aggies can’t help but blow their load, you have to recruit like this for 3-4+ years to expect results and you better have a damn good QB if you expect to win it all.

you can’t go out and use one of your schollies and spend a $mil on a guy like max johnson and expect to maintain that

It'll take 2 or 3 seasons before seeing how this NIL, big money situation plays out. Probably be adjustments by NCAA and those providing the NIL money.
It will effect everything about the sport, from recruiting to locker room morale. Probably all negatively.
