You are right. They bought the Kansas State transfer Nigel Pack, who agreed to a two-year NIL deal for $400,000 per year and a car for two years, $800,000 total.

So with your insider connections you imply that Johnson was a minority hire.

But what P4 school would guarantee a part time lineman starter enough NIL money to make him transfer from a Big Ten school where he is likely to start?

I always found it puzzling how some players believe God has favored them and punished other believers because……..?

I cannot stand to listen to Herm’s incessant staccato babbling on ESPN!

Without the Herm Edwards breathless babbling, I hope.

I didn’t expect Christie to see actual NBA games this year. Good for him!

Whatever floats Bill’s boat, which is I guess a 24 year old babe. Go for it Bill! On the other hand, there is no way he takes the NC head coaching position after coaching for decades in the NFL. I don’t think Bill wants to deal and all the travel, NIL headaches, academics, parents and other...

Or he maxes out at Brosmer’s level, which isn’t bad, as you point out. But Lindsay as a freshman redshirt being slightly behind Brosmer as a senior means nothing going forward. But we can hope.

Why would Lindsay be something special if he “isnt a significant step back from Brosmer?” Maybe he is just another Brosmer, which wouldn’t be bad.

Leidner just couldn’t pass.

A few will do that, but quitting on your team mid season isn’t going to move you up on the draft board.

I am pretty sure they don’t get anything until they are on campus, registered for classes, and meet a predetermined criteria for payment. Otherwise there would be examples of high school players taking the money but not attending. Now you have a mess to deal with in trying to recover the $.

And you know of the talent differential because……..?

Ludicrous amount of money for an unproven freshman, or even a proven starter. The NCAA is now the Hunger Games, with a handful of ultra wealthy programs trying to buy success and outbid each other, and everyone else searching for scraps. The next coaching staff hire will have to be someone who...

The middling Power Four conference teams, like the Gophers, are now the Jr. College transfer schools for the big boys with loads of NIL money and other highly paid opportunities. Rumor is that Payne got $500,000:to transfer to Texas A & M. He was t even the best player on the team.

A Parker Jefferson commitment would be nice. But I no longer expect highly regarded recruits to sign with us because they can get big NIL money elsewhere. And if they did sign with the UMN, one good season and they flee for a better payday, like Hawkins and Payne did. That leaves the Gophers...

Odukale brought the offense to a halt several times by dribbling too much. I hope BJ gets that corrected.

Odukale dribbles too much, then turns it over. Got to correct that. They have better ball handlers.

Great list! Thanks for compiling it.
