Message: [QUOTE="PNolanFan, post: 4817860, member: 11786"] I think things are still unsettled though. Currently there is a shroud over exacts, kids will leave for xxx amount of money and i have heard many many many cases where the money isnt even close to what was promised or reported. So there is uncertainty about amounts for sure. The other factor is you had like AM enter the portal just blasting money left and right and it blew up in their face. I also think USC spent and blew a huge wad last year. Those high profile failures are clearly going to set precedents and drive other alumni groups. Ultimately we dont know where this is headed but i am certain it wont look like it does now in 5 years. Where I think this goes is a certain amount of flattening, the big guys will get the best players and pluck guys out of small schools but it will go down to a certain degree. I also think that guys at big schools who get burried on the dept charts may consider dropping down for playing time. Think some guy at Ole Miss who was a low level 4 star who isnt playing. While obviously a caleb williams is always gonna go to USC I could see a world where the third string QB at alabama gets paid more at UConn to be our star than he will get as a third stringer at alabama. If I am a booster at one of the real big guys, why am I shelling out 100k for some kid who wont even play unless there are several injuries? Or maybe that 100k will consolidate with the stars?
