This counts against the salary cap correct? Not a great use of money unless this guy is the next Orlando Pace
Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season
- Thread starter tzjung
- Start date
This may sound odd but Texas Tech and BYU spending money on recruits is a win for the Big 12. Nationally speaking. Perception is very important and if we as a conference can pull in 5* recruits benefits us all.

I get why you're saying this, and to a certain extent I agree with you, but in the end I think they're just going to end up proving you can't buy a championship.
Pretty tired of billionaires cosplaying as team owners.
I miss rules and regulations and knowing which schools were shady AF in regards to said rules and regulations.
I dont know the details but I see his name thrown around alot about saving college athletics by working to put guardrails in place. Probably not a topic that can be discussed in this forum.
I think this too regardless of how they win or lose...and BYU already "won" and proved they were more worthy than SMU of getting a playoff bid last year. Committee's first clear mistake was SMU over BYU despite all rational evidence.
We've got 2 of 16 teams that are outspending nearly every Big Ten and SEC team. That's sure as hell better than none even being close. Ditto for BYU in basketball being far and away the #1 recruiter in the sport, and in that case Big 12 is the power league already or at least one of two power leagues.
All the irrational hatred of Utah fans toward the Big 12 is they probably knew BYU was going to have limitless money and the only thing holding them back was not being in a major conference, Utah has almost no natural advantages over BYU and they made serious hay in football the few years they had the artificial advantage of conference affiliation.
I don’t think anyone really thinks that BYU “won” or would have had a different result outside of big12 country even though they obviously should have been in.
The recruiting bump is vitally important since that’s a major issue for the conference but the huge problem is that for all of TT’s spending they still only have the 27th recruiting class this year. BYU coming in better at 20 and in my opinion is being much smarter then TT
I wonder how much more powerful they are now that they pay the players instead of just giving the players luxurious dorms and locker rooms? I'm guessing 50x.
Conference affiliation matters but unless there are changes I think "does your team have a billionaire" is going to become a key factor, if not the main factor.
Some of these guys are so rich they can make pretty irrational decisions. They're doing it like a hobby. Not like an NBA owner who wants a return back.
Cody likes to eat Cheetos and there are a lot of people that dislike Cheetos.
This is honestly an incredible post, legit put a smile on my face, well done
If I had a billion dollars, you can bet Matt is taking my ass with him to media days.
