Manning is a perfect example. He will either take them to the final four or they will replace them with another five star quarterback and roll the dice again.
i dont. They will just get processed/pushed out and they’ll just recruit the next 5* or get the best players out of the portal
My good friend owns a company and is always looking to reduce his taxable income. Through his company and NIL, he gives $40k/year to two TE's on UGA's roster every year. He does not care if they work out or not. He feels like it's his job to help recruit/retain the best TE's that will give them a chance to win. I know two Bullgators too. They do not care. They just want to accumulate as much talent as possible and let the coaches push out the ones they don't want. I don't think this is a backfire moment. This is the strategy.
