Message: [QUOTE="SU2NASA, post: 3118900, member: 800"] This. What some people don’t seem to understand is that recruiting success is going to be along two factors: 1) Schools with brand value that the apparel companies will steer athletes toward 2) Schools with high net-worth alumni/boosters that are willing to buy image rights with complete disregard for marketing purposes The argument that “players are getting paid now, so this will make it above board” is lazy. The number of players getting bags is few and far between, and predominantly the highest 5-stars. It’s tough to keep things quiet if you’re sending bags to 22 guys on a team. Like I’ve said, this is going to open up effectively buying your entire team. Need a new OL for next season? Go buy the image rights for some new linemen. Got problems with your kicking game? Go buy yourself a placekicker. [/QUOTE]
