Fleck isn’t Cignetti. But then, nobody knew Cignetti would be so successful. He didn’t get a big school job until he was in his 60’s, which means everyone had multiple opportunities to hire him and passed. Similar to Tom Brady not getting drafted until the 6th round. Who knew.
If you were a highly touted prospect, would you want to play somewhere that can offer just a fraction of the NIL that dozens of other schools can offer?
