Yeah, I don't think too many would transfer from Stanford to Texas Tech unless there was life changing money involved, and even then when you look at future earning potential, it might be a stretch.

Do you, or do you not believe that we need considerably more money to pay players?

Imagine actually thinking that this is anything more than Tony Soprano being a waste management consultant. Nobody realistically believes there is any real enforcement going on here. It's still 100% pay to play.

Depends on the offer.

SDSU is ranked 15th. That's not horrible.

Say we freed up a couple million more for coaches but had the exact same players. Maybe, MAYBE we beat Cal. But we weren't going to compete with OSU and Oregon. Maybe be more competitive with Iowa? Ultimately I'd far rather see that money go to buying talent. If the U REALLY, REALLY wants to...

You should probably take your bullshit to the off-topic board.

I didn't mention A&M coming back yesterday, must have been someone else. I was specifically talking about TT having a $50 million payroll.

The only thing that matters at this point is payroll. Without more money to pay players, we've hit a ceiling.

No, we are talking about Tech. There's a whole thread about it on the board. https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/how-texas-tech-became-a-player-in-the-nil-revolution-behind-lineman-turned-oil-tycoon-cody-campbell.120087/unread

It wouldn't be a line item in the budget. It would be laundered somehow.

I know there are people with a lot of money in that state. Menard, the Johnson Wax family, The Kohl family, the Kohler family etc. I honestly don't know enough about the support of Badger athletics. There are a lot of boosters too that will donate for facilities, but are opposed to outright...

That's why when people say "Fleck has had nine years..." it doesn't fly. It's a completely different business model now.

I think coaching and recruiting meant more then. Money still mattered, but maybe not as much as it does now, and maybe not as much as it did in the SEC/Big 12. A couple grand here and there. Maybe a car? But not million dollar contracts. I would not be surprised if Wisconsin's current...

Read closer what I wrote. People are saying "NIL doesn't come directly from the school." Officially, that's supposed to be true. But who is to say certain programs aren't funding collectives under the table? Like you said, we don't know. But I'm cynical enough to assume that certain big name...

Some of it is public. I believe someone filed an FOIA request regarding Texas Tech which showed $28 million in contracts, and that was before NIL money was distributed, so the rest is an estimate. But you're right, nobody knows the actual numbers in most cases. But we do know that certain teams...

OSU fired Mike Gundy. They're a terrible team. Oregon would run up 70 on them. Hell, we might run up 70 on them.

I don't consider Hastings non-metro. They're the county seat of Dakota County and they played in the St. Paul Suburban conference for years.

Looks like he only coached one year in 2023 and went back to coaching high school in Arkansas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Kelley_(American_football) They're 9-2 this season, so they must be pretty decent.

I don't think Fleck's shtick is going to go over well with the win at all costs mentality of a lot of those schools.
