For perspective, MLB will have it's draft next Sunday.
Overall #1 slot is over $11MM and could very well be a 17 year old HS kid who has never played an inning of professional baseball. In fact 15 or more 17 year old HS kids are about to be millionaires and they will (likely) have a higher wash out rate in minor league baseball than elite HS football players will have in CFB (by my unofficial count).
Maybe paying the market rate for top talent is such a bold move as it is the price of playing poker?
We shall see.

I don't know if there's really a direct comparison. The economics of both sports are entirely different not to mention the rules for eligibility surrounding them.
In baseball, if you want you can skip college entirely, get paid and go to short season rookie ball the moment you graduate high school. Football players don't have those options. The risks of injury are significantly higher in football, especially for a lineman as well.
I agree about the washout rate is overall higher in baseball, although I'd be willing to bet it's closer than you'd expect.

Yeah, Ryan Coogler who directed movies like Black Panther series, Creed series, and Sinners, played football there

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Burning Questions: What’s up with Ohio State’s defensive line recruiting?
Is the Buckeyes’ NIL philosophy getting in the way of landing big-time recruits, or has Larry Johnson lost a step?
www.landgrantholyland.com
While not a defensive lineman, on Friday, five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo (No. 7 nationally) committed to Texas Tech 24, just hours after confirming that his top four were Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio State. So, what changed?
Who knows? But, his agent did say after his client’s commitment that the Red Raiders offered Ojo a fully guaranteed, three-year, $5.1 million deal. So maybe that had something to do with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I don’t know how those kinds of contracts work with college students, who, presumably, can transfer whenever they want, but that’s clearly not something Ohio State fans (and bloggers) have to worry about, because the Buckeyes seem to have no interest in going anywhere near those types of deals.
Just sayin': Apparently the sad state of college football recruiting is now you don't really have spend months actually recruiting some recruits anymore. Just call his agent the night before his commitment date and offer $5.1M over 3 years guaranteed....
