We're getting close to decision time and I have little doubt that Hodg and his agent are trying to get the most flush deal they can and there was always going to be other suitors promising other bags. It's an agent's job to use that as leverage and bid up the deal, so no surprises there. A little surprised PC has the amount of money being reported, but if they do, they do.

I guess the real questions are:
[LIST]
[*]WAT IS THE REAL NUMBER NEEDED? How much do we REALLY have to spend to get him? (are the rumors that PC is offering $14 mil in NIL and rev share ACTUALLY true or is this a padded number for negotiation purpose? Are the two Daddy Warbucks donors at PC REALLY backing the offer at that level?)
[*]WHAT IS OUR MAX OUTLAY WE WON'T GO BEYOND? Do we have a line in the sand we will not cross $$$ wise? (If Lally is driving this car for Hodg, he certainly has the wallet to up our NIL outlay if needed... Will he to get this over the line, with a big sweetner if necessary?)
[/LIST]
Outside of NIL/Bags, the PC job is NOT inherently as a good a job as Cuse for a whole host of tangible reasons we know (all candidates know this as well)... So we likely need to be in the ballpark and not the top bid... And again, if we can't compete financially with Providence College where NIL is concerned, welp that's a realization I pray we don't have to live through and recalibrate our expectations for what that means...
