Thought the Miami zillionaire had been indicted by Grand Jury or something. Recollect his 'recruiting' cruises on his mega-yacht with booze, cheerleaders and wide-eyed 17 year olds. Now he can just hand out bags of money. Anyway, it doesn't take much to connect the dots on this one. Florida struggling, and Miami sitting there with bags of cash. Why not?

Also hometown. I’m not saying NIL isn’t a part of it, but we can’t forget kids like playing near home a lot of the time. Pembroke Pines is a nice town only about 30 minutes from the university.

Always go back to the adage that college is supposed to prepare students to make a living. Doesn't say as a teacher/accountant or football player. Just so happens that football player pays more (upfront, not over a lifetime) than the other professions. As to the coaches v players, a coach has many more years to make a living, whereas, as college football player has about five years to make themselves into someone who "gets a chance" to earn a living in the pros. What, maybe a five year job, before an injury or someone better comes along? Would imagine that these kids earning NIL money piss it away very quickly, instead of setting up investment accounts etc for the future. Whereas a coach is 'climbing the corporate ladder', and moving on up (usually), as part of his working journey. Don't understand the NFL guy that said, "he will cost us less"? Heck, if the kid gets a taste of big money ($1 million to me is big), he won't be satisfied with only a couple mill more, would he? My expectations would be much higher.....Sooooo, back to Lejon, or any other xfer guy. His shelf life is limited. Sitting behind someone for two years cuts his time down. And playing in a top program means that they could always bring in someone younger and more talented. I'd go somewhere where I could get on the field, and hopefully make a difference. Pro scouts will always find talent, wherever it may be. Finally, look at tOSU's QB room. With the talent coming up, I'd bet that three of the current Qbs will hit the transfer portal, but not before being given training by a couple of the best - Day and now Chip. That's worth a bunch in terms of leveraging that into a roll at another university.
