The dude is a slob. How does he motivate players to exercise
He looks like Charlie Weis. Embarrassment. Excellent coach.
The economy of Texas is BOOMING and their schools have $ to burn.
But buying expensive superstars does not guarantee success on the field... because it's a team sport.
These reactions are consistent
When a kid chooses ND, it is because of academics, Marcus Freeman, 4 for 40, etc.
When he chooses another school, it is because of money.
I am as much of an ND homer as anyone but, and as much as I love to read our commitments' comments about why they chose ND, this new era of college football stains every decision these kids make.
Without knowing anything about this 'recruitment' (should we now call this 'bidding' instead of 'recruiting'?), I tend to think ND did right to maintain financial discipline.
Absolutely a bidding war, average pay for ELITE LB from a Power 4 is 650-700k, he was offered 900k

His family was unanimous in backing him in his decision ($ ?)

Not really in this case….
Rocketman explained that it was exactly that below - a bidding war, and he has benn right on the money w his info too many times to ignore.
Now, your point is still valid imo in other cases.
Yep. Exactly what I’ve heard as well

ND was outbid.
It happens. ND outbids other schools all of the time.
ND has a $40 million plus NIL operation.
I feel that spending on lineman is more important than on linebackers.
It's become more of in between position in the modern game.
They fill the gaps opened by the interior D linemen and are less involved in pass defense.

Need to be smart with money
Come on down Roman. Start the Mt.Carmel to ND pipeline.
Indeed. You must also consider that other players on the team that are far more proven & will expect
equal treatment.
In ND’s case, we have st least 5 LB’s on the team who are better at this time.
Paying an unproven LB more than them is very risky and not good for any locker room.
There is more to consider than just the cost to get the one player. A&M found this out themselves under Jimbo Fisher.
$$$ good for him

A&M hasn't won a NC since 1939. They seem to think This kid will win them one.
Or had Indiana.

As long as they have the money, and can pay him
Texas A&M has quite a wealthy donor base, so I suspect this won't be an issue.
Still, if the booster group that promised to pony up the money reneges, he could end up like Jaden Rashada did.
Frankly, I was a bit surprised that the Florida Gators boosters who promised him the 13.5 million to renege on his Miami commitment, didn't have the money in hand to give...
They probably thought it was 13.5k
