As much as many in the public want to to praise Cignetti and IU for their NC. What many casual fans and observers wont pay attention to, is that they have caused a massive course correction in the sport. As fun as it will be to brag about landing that 5star in the Portal or from HS. Getting the older veteran player will be cheaper and honestly be a better payoff immediately. And the number of teams who figure this out will see the benefits. Paying Seaton can cause quite a rift in a locker room, the same players who he will play with also are seeing this tweet. And the current starter at the team he chooses, im sure will have a convo with the coach about a pay bump or he too will then want to leave. That can cause a rift. The older players from smaller schools wont be so keen to rock the boat, due to not making as much, but their maturity could also quell some locker room issues as well. No thanks to guys like Seaton or any of those high cost QBs, WRs, etc

Not to mention that you can buy 5 good OL for that price, and not upset the market in your locker room.

Or 1-2 good OL, and spend the other 3 on a true difference maker at DE, where the superstar is actually a giant difference vs the fairly good guy.

OSU didn't need seaton this year. They needed Darryl Baldwin or Josh Fryar. They need a guy like that next year, and might already have em.
