I'm not the expert on how the NIL money works; however, I'll go out on a limb here and say that most schools do not have an unlimited amount. The more you give and/or allocate to an unproven Freshman the less you have for the guys (like Denzel Burke) on the team that have proven to be deserving. Besides not wanting to set a precedence of overpaying a high school player in NIL money (that the NIL agents will use against you on the next recruit); you have to do what is right and/or fair for your current guys too.
This. All of the moaning about NIL rings hollow when we all know OSU more than has the resources to compete.Just pay more.
Decide if you want to be a big market team or a small market team and compete.
It's not that complicated.

Guessing he didn’t believe Coombs was gonna be back plus whatever Tejas was selling…

I’m assuming the kid has good intentions and it was more than someone just making NIL contracts…If the guy that recruited him he believes will be gone ..then all that promised NIL money looks a lot betterTejas wasn't selling anything. They were buying (using boosters and NIL). It's the New World. We don't have to sell you on the advantages of our school/program. We just have to make sure our boosters outbid the other guys.

I hear you, but Ohio State has the boosters to make it happen.
Well this is where the relationship part comes in .. guy been recruiting you for the last 2/3 years is all the sudden gone and some other guy you dont know comes in… I mean I know thats business but in this case the kid has a chance to change his mind… I dont know man.Concerns about coaching staff changes? Shouldn't incoming recruits want changes from this staff?
Ricart vs McCombs in the used car dealer cage match?Yes and no. Ohio State has never cultivated the big cigar type of boosters for the athletic department in the way Texas or the SEC have. This was a conscious decision going back to Woody Hayes ("they buy you the car this year, and next year they buy you the tank of gas to get out of town"), and the culture still permeates the way the AD does business. They've preferred to base athletic fundraising on thousands and thousands of Buckeye Club memberships tied to ticket buying privileges. It was only a couple of years ago that the AD received its very first 8 figure donation (at 10M exactly) at a university whose overall endowment is close to $6B.
For Ohio State to be competitive, it's probably going to rest on having the Ohio corporate community get involved and step up. I just don't see the Red McCombs types crawling all over the Ohio State athletic department.
