DL linemen

Elite D linemen don’t grow on trees. G5 schools generally have difficulty in signing the few quality D linemen out there. This problem is now magnified with the advent of NIL. This isn’t just a Tulsa problem
Lamb has gone on record saying TU will be in the top 4 in the league in player compensation. To me, that sounds like we’re willing to pay for talent. Can we offer $1m-$2m per guy? Probably not, but being in the top top 1/4 of the league in player compensation should be able to buy us some decent talent at several positions in need.
The math just doesn’t add up. $28,500 a roster spot gets you to 3 million. With nothing left over for basketball, soccer, or the girls.
So… if we’re “top 4 in the AAC” in player compensation (direct quote from Lamb), the majority of the league must be paying their players less. Not sure how fcs schools are paying more for their kickers than the top of the aac.
Huffy is just bitching to bitch. Some people just find stuff to complain about.
Spoiler: FCS teams aren't paying more for kickers than the top of the aac...idiotic nonsense being spewed.
Grasping.
Teams trying to win in the FCS are paying considerably more than some AAC teams at all positions. IOW teams that aren’t trying to win.
And I presume you are expecting to win.
When kids are turning down TU and signing with the FCS it is almost always because our cash offer is being matched and exceeded. Including backup kickers.
So let me get this straight. You’re asserting the following:
1. TU is not trying to win in football
2. FCS programs are paying substantially more for players than TU.
3. FCS programs are paying substantially more for players than the majority of the AAC.
4. Most of the teams in the AAC don’t want to win.
5. There have been many occasions where kids have turned down TU to play at the FCS level purely based on money.
6. There have been many occasions where kids have turned down top tier AAC schools to play at the FCS level purely based on money.
Do I have all that correct?
1. TU isn’t doing what needs to be done to win consistently. If they win, great. If not, must be the AD’s fault.
2. SOME FCS programs, those that are trying to win,
3. See 2
4. SOME. See 1.
5. It’s a non zero number
6. It’s a significant non zero number particularly at the skill position.

I asked the coach if he had enough NIL to compete with the top third of the ACC. He said yes and expected the fund to improve, as wins will help. Win 6 games and a bowl and the cash will come IMO. Yes, we need to get to 5M. Let me dream 1M for each line 1/2M for QBs and the rest 1st team gets rewarded at least double everyone else with top guys even more. Two and three deep guys will have to be paid less until they can get to 70% of 1st team snaps. It will always be a steep road for the AAC teams. Heck OU doesn't have enough money.
Let's see what happens, GO TU
