Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5324279, member: 9844"] If a player promotes a "show me the money" mindset, they will encourage some schools to pursue them, and others to cross them off their list of players of interest. Similarly if schools want to promote they are willing to buy players, and make their school one that players interested mostly in the money are attracted to, they can do that too. That doesn't mean they should, however, because putting the dollars front and center is IMO a bad look for both players and schools, and neither benefits in the long run with that kind of a reputation. It is of course an important part of the mix now, but it can be pursued with a little more class, as part of the mix, not the main or only factor. Even the players for which NIL is hugely important, should look at not just 4 year earnings potential. How you develop as a team player, in a great program, with a huge following can affect your earnings potential after college. Career earnings and your 4 year take could wind up being quite different depending on where you go. [/QUOTE]
