And that's what I believe.  Because if it's not used that way, then we're going to lose established, high producing talent [like Ja'had Carter], because other schools WILL be willing to poach them by offering a bag.  And just to be clear...

#1, I was talking about football, which seems appropriate given that this is the football recruiting forum.

#2, I qualified that I feel differently about basketball -- where 1 player can in and of themselves engineer a program turnaround, so throwing that money at the right stud recruit has a higher value proposition than for football.

#3, Doesn't matter who'd I'd give it to / in what amount, I'm not Adam Weistman.  But it isn't difficult to envision high performers like a Jatius Geer blowing up next year, or Alijah Clark, or Gadsden on the other side of the ball.  Or maybe we get a pleasant surprise on Friday and LaNorris Sellars honors his commitment, and we want to incentivize him to stay in CNY after he experiences the culture shock of a winter climate.  Guys that other teams will actively seek to pry away by throwing huge sums of money at them, which could be deterred by giving them NIL compensation to keep them at SU.
