OT- Rashan Gary offered 300k as a recruit during his recruitment

[brock]

Some people still think these top players ain’t being paid

 

[TrueFloridian]

How much did Michigan pay him is the question? $250K?

 

[CaneTheGaytors]

Georgia or Baga are the likely suspects. Their foundation’s pockets run deep.

Or Clemson, I believe They were heavily involved recruiting him

No they won the bidding war and paid him $350k lol therefore he technically still did turn down $300k to play for another school...

I wouldn’t doubt it. Another school with very deep pockets.

In before the "win and they'll come" crowd.

Y'know... I seriously thought the bags for an elite prospect was in the 150k range.

Guess inflation has caught up; and the NCAA will do nothing. xD

 

[CANE1775]

LOL @ them using that as an example of his dedication to Michigan. It's like my Auburn peeps that I argued with about Cam Newton and Miss St. You a **** fool if you think he simply turned down the Miss St. money and came to Auburn for free.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Lol turned that down to take nothing from Michigan? All this tells me is Michigan paid more

Seriously! I wonder how much boosters are spending on a recruiting class every year. 15M? 20M? More?

I mean it was proven that his dad was putting him up on ebay.

But since Cam didnt know about it...no foul lol

According to some Michigan fans, it was Clemson. I know...... shocking.

Seems like he was unpopular at Michigan, and this could be his attempt at telling their fans that they should be thankful.

If other teams are offering bags of $300k then you can bet that Michigan is as well.

Seems like he’s been struggling in preseason with effort and just doing well in general despite his athletic gifts and went first round. Meanwhile joe Jackson is balling and constantly praised by Jerry Jones. Still don’t see how he dropped that far. Gary was overrated in the recruiting process, as college player and in the draft process

Just like storage wars

It's an AUCTION ......PLEASE

 

[CFDan]

whoooooa but but hang on....miami players got into clubs for free and had yacht parties! 300k cash is nothing!

Honestly, its outside my scope of thought. I would think in terms of legal recruiting inducements, (private jet, etc), probably a major school spends a couple mil yearly.

As for bags, the number I would assume would be less than 1-2 mil in a dirty program. You are bribing elite 5 star and coveted 4 star players. Youre not bribing >3 stars.

I would say every incoming class, there are probably 20-30 kids that get big money in college football. The ones that are skill positions or an OL/DT/DE that can make a difference day one.

But thats just a murky guess.
