I wonder if Georgia has any alumni that are oil barons.
“College sports are a business more than they’ve ever been before,” Campbell said. “And I think it does require a business mindset in order to be effective. Every dollar you spend, every move you make, has to be thought about as an investment.”
Last season, after a frustrating loss to Colorado, a fan jeered at him on social media, asking him to “buy us an O-line.” Campbell responded simply: “I will.”
That’s the changing nature of the sport I suppose, but if you have a few minutes, this is worth a read and nice piece on Lubbock, Texas, that I enjoyed.
I don’t know whether we tampered with anybody or not, but I know for sure Bret Bielema is for sure one of the top five assholes in college football and in the mix yearly for the Asshole Championship Trophy. If you ordered a boxcar full of assholes out of the Sears catalog and a boxcar with only Bielema in it showed up, you’d still think you’d gotten a good deal. – PDawg30577

It doesn’t matter. That was a brilliant post!
Oil barons outbidding/throwing ca$h at an object is entertainment for them, slinging ca$h around, then looking at the bottom line for ROI, now this thing is off the tarmac heading to destinations unknown…private investment firms, cpa’s, sports attorneys are finding this nil money is a whole lot easier to access then the next level crapshoot…GO DAWGS!!
I’ve heard that Texas Tech has already offered 5-star out of SAV Ladamion Guyton a $1.5M signing bonus, plus NIL deals. I thought that was a lot until I read the article and saw that T-Tech paid $1M for a transfer softball pitcher, and will pay her 7 figures again this year…
A…Softball…Pitcher.
And they lost to Texa$$$ in the championship game. Who even knows how much those assholes spent?
On womens softball.
I definitely picked the wrong career path…
I will never understand having all of that success and wealth and choosing to spend your time and treasure on the modern college athletics hustle. To each his own, I guess.
