Might suggest that now the Players have learned the rules of this new game. Some of the players go to smaller schools and excel, and then leverage their 'minor league' experience to the bigger/better teams via the portal. Others sign with, and get the training from, the better schools, with better coaches/facilities, etc and then leverage THAT into more NIL cash. Some are taking their skillset and contributions, and looking around to see where they can make a bigger impact (look at the QB carousel). Someone wiser than I might see how many QBs in the playoffs are with the team they originally sign with. And do a correlation with their original NIL $, versus what they're pulling in now....

Texas Tech, JMU, Bama, UGA, aTm are the only teams in the CFP with QBs they recruited.
Unfortunately many of the NIL numbers aren't made public, so its hard to compare numbers unless the player, their agent or someone associated with them releases that info. Hence why I have yet to see how much Sayin is earning or negotiating, or how much JJ makes(the rumor is he's up to $7mil for next season). This is all a weird area we're in, in CFB. We know some salaries, but not all. So its kind of like a professional level, but still some numbers are shrouded in secrecy, my guess is because there isn't enough interest in those particular players.

Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

Gizmo
I had a co-worker(? I don't know, a guy in a different section of our shared cubicle farm), who's a Georgia fan, ask my thoughts on the "Indiana cheating" stuff. I told him A) I have no idea about any of that, because most of what I see stems from more "Look what OSU fans are saying now....." and B) "the precedent has been set that cheating is okay, as long as you can pay the fine, so good on them."
He then needed me to explain what I meant, and actual information about the scUM stuff, to try and differentiate or relate it to the current IU stuff.

Tangent but you're right, Ojo has looked awful two straight years at camps. I get he has good size and athleticism but that hasn't turned him anywhere close into a competent OT, let alone a 5* one.

Yeah, Tech paid him based on what they thought he could become. And maybe he does become an All American and 1st round pick, but he has a long way to go. And it seems like he made a name for himself dominating smaller DL competition, and this is the issue I've had with OL recruiting since forever. These highly rated OL are almost always the biggest players on the entire field, and can just embarrass most HS lineman. But you really get to see what they're made of at some of these camps when they face similar levels of competition with players of comparable size. I remember seeing Sam Greer manhandling DL last year, Ojo looks like he needs to bulk up and work on his strength in a major way. Problem is, he won't need to work on that until college, because he'll go back to HS and dominate next season as well
