If we have a $100 Million in available NIL funds and we can't land Lyon's...

And our best option is a kid whose only offer is from SUU... either we have the worst collection of recruiters in the history of college football, or we don't have a hint over a million in NIL resources. It's either or at this point... there is no gray area here at all... it's plainly black or white.

Plus he’s a mission kid. He won’t play CFB for 3-4 more years.

Lyons will be back from his mission about the time Retzlaff finishes his eligibility

lots spent on retaining players too, for example USC offered Glasker a huge amount of money

So, USC is engaging in illegal activity?

iirc, Ohio State is the highest at around $20 mil a year.

Well burning $20 million a year, would exhaust that NIL rather quick.

That was for OL and DL starters. He said Chase Roberts is around the $400-450K

Mabuhay Coug

That’s how much BYU pays

He said that he is a $400-450k guy, even discussing staying or going to the NFL

Folks, he's not saying a $100million budget each year. As an endowment, I believe it.

This is a joke right? You don't amass $100M (reportedly) from donors if you refuse to spend it and make the team better.

100M fund means they have ~10M for NIL, assuming living off interest
