Many here love to scream about NIL when we lose a recruit. Well, we just flipped a 4 star from Clemson and NIL had to be part of that equation. You can’t have it both ways.
I think it comes down to how much a program is willing to invest (hate using the word ‘invest’ in the context of college football) in the respective positions. That’s why we’re seeing the rise of the GM position.
I don’t like it, but it is what college football has become.
