I hope my son would pick the team that offered him this

My college years if I had went was 2013 id have been a freshman. Id sign up to be a cheeseburger in a heartbeat!
 
As someone who coaches a top level recruit and personally witnessed an intense recruiting process...

Every offer the kid got was life changing. 🤷🏻‍♂️
You can't just follow the biggest offer. They were all big.

Remember, you have to spend the next 3/4 years of your life in this place. You won't thrive or reach your max potential if you (1) don't love where you're at (2) don't like your coaches and teammates and (3) you aren't playing early.

Early playing time can help you negotiate a bigger offer next season anyway.

Do you really want to go play football in South Bend Indiana & bang ugly pasty white chicks just because they're offering 200k more? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or play football in an international city...
With endless network & NIL opportunities...
A 93k/year education...
Year around warm weather...
And the baddest women you ever seen in your life?

I played my college football in a cold boring city. It made my college experience feel like a business. It was miserable. And yes, while collegiate sports is more of a business than ever before, you still have to be able to mix business with some pleasure and enjoy your college experience.

Nobody retires and moves to freaking Indiana, Tuscaloosa or Athens... they move to South Florida. Even the guys who once played there. What does that tell you?

You have the opportunity to play college football in a city that 90% of the American population can't even afford to live in. A place where people all over the world save money just to VISIT once a year.

I don't give a **** if Alabama or Texas is offering me an extra 200k+. It ain't all about the money.



SIDENOTE: Those of us who live down here pay a little extra (and have less money in our pocket) just to live down here. It's the same logic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Quality of life.
 
UM for much of what Macho and others have stated.
It's not just the sun, fun and chicas in Miami, you have a thriving city where alot of financial
and high tech business is moving into the area from throughout the country and world.
Lots of opportunities if student-athlete takes his academics seriously.

If UM is not interested in my kid (or vice-versa), I would hope he has opportunities from
the UVAs, Rice, Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, Stanford, etc type of schools.

If the kid can hack it, I think the military academies offer wonderful opportunities.

1. It’s a business now and you have to maximize your value short-term.
2. You can get top shelf personal trainers to make up for a bad coaching staff if you’re making $.
3. If they’re laying that kind of $ out for you, you’ll be starting at best or rotating at worst.

what is a large margin though? the kid is 17. if he has a NIL package to a great school with manageable depth chart, great coaches, and low 7 figure deal is it worth it to go to a total **** show for 500k or even a million extra? I'd say **** no. Go get developed somewhere elite, invest in yourself and see what happens. I mean if you invest 500k at 17 and then go live your life you will probably be set no matter what you do as long as you aren't a financial nincompoop
