Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4787102, member: 6809"] Dr. Bill, I know all about Deon and what he did to get a program of winners. Read all about what happened at Colorado when it did, letting players go and replacing them with better players. Deon has a net worth of 50 million so he could be a collective all by himself. Right now, as in the past, LIFE is all about the money only the NIL in college football is going to make a hell of a difference and if you have cash you should use it to get better players. So I agree with you. I was asking what you would do going forward and you replied truthfully. All we have to do now is convince the AD and Administration that if you want a better program change your attitude and pay your players like the big boys. Whether they will be receptive to that idea is a great question. But, they better be or we'll be stuck where we are for a long time and that sucks. Coaching is another topic but its not as big as paying for talent. College football has become a mini NFL. I think if you have had some success with your program, the talent will get even better. Going back to 2015 Utah is 73 - 32 so I think they thought that they had a good base before they decided to by the trucks.

Every scholarship player on the Utah Utes football team will be cruising around Salt Lake City in a 2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn.

All the way back in 1979, Eric Dickerson was considered one of the best football recruits in the country—and Texas A&M wanted him. The story goes that after Dickerson turned down a suitcase filled with $50,000 of cash, A&M found out he wanted a [URL='https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a42390355/1979-pontiac-firebird-trans-am-by-the-numbers/']Pontiac Firebird Trans Am[/URL].
