Thank you for explaining something that was not being discussed and is not in dispute.
You brought it up. Dude put down whatever you’re smoking. Remember your Minnesota reference.
You can't be this stupid to think schools are not spending it. Especially after you got pummeled in other threads over your lack of understanding the difference between NIL and revenue sharing.
Sure, right after you prove they didn't. I said Minnesota did (which means 100% of all Big Ten revenue sharing money is not going to direct NIL payments, as I said) - we know this because they admitted to it.
Things nobody is debating:
Dumbass, revenue sharing money can't be used for NIL and you're the only one debating anything because you're lost in the woods. Early onset dementia at play here?
You barely know me. I can be much more stupid than this. But to get to your specific points ... (1) Minnesota has already said it is using a portion of their Big Ten revenue sharing on things other than direct NIL payments to players, and (2) your buddies in the previous thread abandoned their stupid argument (that revenue sharing was not considered NIL) when I started quoting the Big Ten's model NIL agreement and the SEC's school presidents ...

Since 2020, their coach record was 51-33 our coach record is 33-45. NC State coach got fired, ours keeps on going
. How long must this BS go on.I can’t make heads or tails whatever the debate is anymore because you keep changing what it is you’re saying. You bring up MN but when it’s explained to you it’s not relevant. You ask for details about NIL/rev share spending. We supply the data. It doesn’t mean anything because you weren’t there to validate it. Kelli and Greg saying the numbers reported are correct. But you can’t believe it because the on field performance doesn’t represent the capital investment.
With all do respect, you literally don't know what your talking about and the two bozos you were following last week have abandoned their argument (because it doesn't make any sense). Hell, the SEC's school presidents approved their model NIL / Revenue Sharing contract last week.
No no no no no ... you said that Schiano has confirmed we spent $23.6 million this year on NIL to football players. I asked you for a citation. Let's start with that. Let's start with you supplying that quote.
Again supplied above in post 18 & 41 in this thread. Im sure the numerous reporters are fabricating the citations. Im sure Greg saying I finally have vertical alignment and I am given everything I need to be competitive is not telling the truth.
Listen bozo revenue share and NIL are two different pots of money coming from within and outside the university respectively. The article you linked doesn't change any of that...lol.
The revenue share is used to (among other things) make direct NIL payments from the schools to the players. FFS. Yes, there is also secondary NIL money that comes from outside the school as direct payments to players. That doesn't change the first set of money (the revenue sharing money) as being utilized as direct NIL payments to players. It's why the contracts are referred to as NIL contracts and why the agreements themselves label the payments as NIL payments. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the "difficult to understand" meter, this isn't even 3; there is no reason for you not to understand this. Aside from two or three know-nothings on this message board, nobody else in the country is claiming these aren't NIL payments being made by revenue sharing money. The Big Ten is calling these NIL payments. The SEC is calling these NIL payments. The major sports media is calling these NIL payments. The contracts themselves call these NIL payments.
Literally no chance .we are not going 4-1 last 5. We wouldn’t even go 4-1 in any G6 conference
Then you should be able to prove other schools are spending a minuscule amount of revenue share (not NIL which you still don’t know the difference between) on scholarships. Let’s see it. You’re the saying it’s happening because you believe it.
And unfortunately AJ Surace is the poster child. Other than a scholarship he should have never received a penny of NIL and should have been cut loose 2 years ago. This is hindsight but obvious.
He had real offers out of HS. One can only surmise Schiano negatively impacted his development. He looks like a D3 player
Offers out of high school 4 years ago are irrelevant. You can either play or not and the coaches at RU have seen this guy for 3 years. I have no idea what they saw but since he did not develop they should have moved on even if it was their fault. Who knows what good QB we could have had but did not come
One factor could be that in the pre portal era, you could be very tough on players and bend their will. If you try that now, many will just transfer. Schiano may not have the toolbox to develop players under these circumstances.
He shouldve retired when NIL became a thing alongside a bunch of other coaches cough Dabo cough
