This is the new reality. Demand drives the market price.

Some are caught up with the right or wrong of it... I get it, but it doesn't change the fact that it's fluid and happening live right now.

I don't know how the school/program interacts with NIL groups or individuals to set target player priorities, but like any scarce resource, the NIL groups/individuals have to budget their top-line offers based on priority for a specific player and what they actually have in the kitty to spread around for other targets as well.

It's hard to know if we were completely blown out of the water by competing offers for Jesse or if a big chunk has been allocated to Dickinson or another target that put Jesse lower on the list?? One man's grass can be another man's weed...

With Weitsman gone, we'll know over time if our various NIL coiffures have what we need to be competitive or if we are skint and can't compete to land multiple tier 1 players in a window.

I hope that is not the case but I fear we need another heavily-monetized whale to get us more competitive. Others have mentioned there are 2 other "whale-types" recently brought in for NIL, but those are just rumors and we need to start seeing evidence of their contributions bearing fruit. Still early days for them if true, so I am holding out some hope that it's true and they will help us land multiple tier 1 transfers and recruits.
