WTF? Does Bowman have money on BYU?

LOL, BYU’s run defense is a sieve…

Not necessarily…keep the ball in Ollie’s hands and good things will happen. Plus Retzlaff is playing like the second coming of Jon Hays.

Retzlaff sucks…incredible that BYU is undefeated so far…a mediocre to bad OSU team is making them look extremely pedestrian. Guess the TDS were reading their press clipping in the Deseret News and thought they could win just by rolling a helmet onto the field.

I was about to say, Ollie Gordon with one of the most athletic moves I’ve seen this season. Looks like he’s the TDS’s kryptonite.

As the famed American philosopher David Lee Roth once said, money doesn’t buy you happiness but it can get you the parking spot next to it.

Phil Knight is worth over $36B…no collective anywhere will ever outbid Oregon if there’s a guy out there that they really want.

You know, now that players can leave programs whenever they want as many times as they want, don’t you think that schools should be able to cut or let go players who haven’t performed adequately? It’s a brutal concept because, for a lot of these guys, there’s no way that they’d be able to go to school without a football scholarship. And maybe…[Read more]

I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s just that USC also isn’t stupid. Sure, they overpay, but they overpay for guys who come with proven credentials, not players who haven’t played a down of college football.

That’s the name of the game now. And blue blood programs, with schools like USC leading the way, are using it in a consistent manner.

Just look at all of the players that USC has gotten via the portal in the last couple of seasons. The list is almost endless

They essentially are using other, less powerful schools as a form of feeder system…[Read more]

I’m close to a couple of guys who are members of “House of Victory” (the USC NIL collective), and they gave me a thumbnail sketch of how USC uses its NIL. Branch was a highly touted recruit out of Las Vegas last year and did get some NIL to sway his decision to play at USC (well, that and also playing with Caleb and in an extremely…[Read more]

You’re kidding, right?

The only people making that kind of money, at any school, are veteran, proven SKILL players and that’s mostly QBs.

No school is going to make a million-dollar offer to an unproven, untried OL who’s not even close to being the best player in his class at his position. It doesn’t make sense.

This is what 247 Sports has to…[Read more]

Must be working as an independent contractor seeing as he’s not on the staff directory.

BYU Football Staff

You sure about that? I know that he worked as a consultant during BYU’s Spring camp but didn’t know that he was on the staff.

I will still be here and RES even if Utah finishes 4-8. Hope springs eternal.

Do you know if Isaac was offered by USC?

I’ve already said that USC doesn’t devote a significant amount of NIL to incoming HS recruits. Maybe they got him because they’re in the P2, have a much bigger brand than Utah, and promised to take care of him if he delivered? It makes sense to me. Why would USC, or any other big time program, devote large amounts of NIL on unproven players…[Read more]

Well, you’re not wrong.

No one.

USC doesn’t pay much NIL to HS recruits. They prefer to pay mature, upperclassmen from the transfer portal who can contribute immediately. Dunn might well go to USC but it’s highly unlikely that the Trojans made him a financial offer that he can’t refuse.
