Exactly. 

Blaming NIL opportunities is a new scapegoat for fans to reconcile why a recruit didn't pick their preferred school.

The reality in this particular case is that Nebaska is just not good enough in multiple facets of Football to lure top recruits like him. We're simply not in the same stratosphere as other programs.

The only reason NIL was brought up was because a poster said it was an NIL issue at this point.  If that was the case (excluding other factors) NU should win that battle.

Not necessarily.  You saying that means Nebraska has way more money than anyone else.  Nebraska has a lot of money.  But, there are other programs with lots of money too.

NU had $7.5 million to dump in trash heap to see a coach leave a week or two early.  There is plenty of money.

Did anyone say otherwise?

That doesn't mean that other programs don't have lots of money too.

That implies that we would have more money than anyone else.

That implies NU should outbid for a transformative legacy recruit if it’s about NIL.   It didn’t say anything about other program not having lots of money  :dunno

Not that I’m aware of.

Wonder if USC dropped by as well.

You have to have more money to outbid when both teams really want the player.

And NU dropped $7.5 million for one week of coaching.  If the school has that kind of coin available, imagine what they have for four years of the #1 recruit in the nation who happens to at a position of great need, and who happens to be a legacy.

Maybe they spent all their money on that.

That has nothing to do with any real point you're trying to make.

Hot take:

I think the coaches probably know we aren't getting him as part of the 2024 class, but we are keeping the relationship alive for 2025 or 2026 when he hits the portal.

Kid is on his 3rd high school in 3 years and will be on his 2nd college commitment.  The chances of him sticking at one school for 3 or 4 years seems pretty slim.

Okay good, so really you just led yourself and me and probably some others down several posts that had no need to exist and didn't actually say anything that hadn't already been said.
