The rankings really are pretty useless to me because not everyone is in the same situation and they just ranking your incoming players. 10 of the top 20 have new coaches. Those schools are going to be gaining a lot of points as a new coach is going to be in some of his players or players they may have recruited in the past that they had a connection with and now they have a head coaching job. Then you have some teams like Texas, Texas Tech, A&M now Indiana with Cuban money. We can’t really compete with them. You have a lot of top programs that are near the middle of the pack. 27 Georgia 5 commits, 53 OhioState 6 commits, 57 Alabama 6 commits, 60 Michigan 6 commits(apparently Portnoy was not happy after what he spent last year and no results and made a huge cut in his donation.
 
Rumors Texas Tech and others aren’t using clearinghouses. So lots of rev funneled thru NIL
Reason these programs trying to buy what they can while Deloitte is still trying to find its sea legs.
The interesting thing is that all student athletes in Division 1 and Division 2 are required to register with the clearinghouse as part of the eligibility process now. And the athletes are responsible for reporting NIL earnings. The clearinghouse then is suppose to evaluate whether the company is getting a legitimate ROI (I guess using some kind of sorcery) and what the “true market value” (sorcery again) of the student athlete involved.
This situation is just ripe for back door deals just like in old days with “$100 handshakes” except these are “$100k handshakes”.
 
I would think Miami, LSU, and Oregon are the teams. Only a few teams have that kind of money and teams like TTU, Texas, A&M and Indiana already have their guys.
The article said there were three SEC teams, plus at least one other team which I inferred was not SEC.

I also guessed that Miami was the one that offered $6.5M, but Oregon is another likely suspect.

Many believe the ridiculous numbers being thrown at Ty are being driven out of desperation by some programs. They’ve missed on top portal QB target(s) and throwing stupid money at him.

Would Ty be a “good get” for some program if he took the portal route. Yeah but not a $4-$6 million price tag.,

Yeah Miami did it with Beck who was going NFL route. Maybe Ole Miss once Trinidad ruling came down. Not sure who other SEC team would be. Texas and A&M don’t need QB. Tennessee didn’t want to pay Nico even 3-4 million.
