Bit of hypothetical but who knows? A case in point $100k per year for 5 years we are at $0.5M, what's a half million between friends. Course also thats old data now, with inflation, new market completion, throw in an Ors year guarantee who knows?
Maybe Minny poached them then decided they didn't want them so they came home. There's no indication John would spend money and scholarship on two backups who couldn't make the lineup, maybe they were sick of being cold.
Moreover, look at their starting lineup. If I counted correctly 8 starters from Oklahoma and thats about where it's been the last several years. Not exactly a team thats living off of poaching. And if Hamiti replaces Thompson it could be 9 next year but more likely ~ 8 again. How many other teams have 8 to 9 home state starters?
Think I've figured out NM1965's username. Hes been stuck in northeast New Mexico since 1965 would like to immigrate into the OK panhandle but they won't let him cross the border so he is mad at everything Oklahoma.
Why can't say a member of the Dairy Judging Team dip into the same NIL pot? This is udderly ridiculous, who do you think selects the cows for the Chick-fil-A commercials?
This is more of a bag of cash issue. At some point you just have to say no. Not every program has unlimited access to cash. Johnson was a great coach but I bet he is glad didn't coach in the NIL era. He had to manage scholarship, financial aid etc to put together the best offers and lineups. He did also havd to compete against some programs doing under the table shenanigans, actually got one kid back who didn't like the other coach changing offer after commitment. Mark was good at raising money but operating in the wild west with no rules enforced I bet he'd take a pass.
What are talking about? Fix has 2 more years.

If actually image & likeness a company could have stipulation/contract for say 6 local TV commercials during the year for the 6 figures with a rolling renewable deal next year. Thus local value from the NIL. It appeared Fix had something with local car dealer. But what was say Real Wood doing for his 6figs, who actually saw any NIL value? What we've heard/seen more on the BB & FB side is athletes just making appearances at donor's kids birthday parties for their $s. I guess you can say its image & likeness but its more like 60s/70s pay to play.
