We were ahead in the game, no doubt. However, this is changing so fast I'm not sure anyone can really keep track. Money is coming from a lot of directions at every big school so keeping score is almost impossible. I do think our transfer success over the past weekend is an indication we are remaining competitive with other top schools. We don't sign the guys we have if we weren't winning some bids.My recollection is NU has claimed to be ahead in the game. I would think thats what the NIL firm does. Line up money for players ( recruits-signees both). That is pay for play. College athletes are paid whatever they can get and the schools line it up for them. Self help may be ok but it wont do in the current free agency marketplace. Hope NU is not way behind. Frost says we are national leaders in NIL $$.
