      It is a ridiculous free agency. Now it is all about sports agents sending out feelers to everyone to see how much money their client can get. It is happening to every team. It is like extortion. College football will completely change over the next few years if there aren’t some rules or contracts to keep players on a team.

    Hey Preston, got a question. What do you think about the coaching job Marcus Freeman is doing? I’m not a Notre Dame fan but you’ve got to respect what he’s doing with that program and the way they play on the field. Listen to some of his interviews and locker room speeches. I know we’re not going after Freeman as a coach but they’re doing what our program is lacking right now

    No, we ain't second rate , it's just something or someone that needs to be took to that shed and give a quick fade!!! But if it's truly a NIl problem. It will get better but we have a lot of under minding going on in college football right now. It doesn't have to be the issue of USC not paying them good but others willing to just go over the top on a bag and undermine your proper deal. It's just that simple today, it's universities that aren't willing to use the right means of business and want to win at all cost. It's a lot of them throwing bags and still getting there butts stomp on the field of play!!!!

    Saw a list of Big10 estimated NIL (payroll) budgets. OSU at $19M with a few teams clustered around $10-12M. Some teams have a retain strategy, and others go heavy portal. Anyway you look at it, there must be a plan, player assessments, and writing some big checks. And some of it must be done quickly due to the market.

    The signs were there with so many flips on signing day that maybe the NIL isnt where it needs to be. Nobody knows for sure but i suspect maybe USC wasnt able to match offers for the guys that flipped to other schools with higher NIL spending and it has carried over into the tranfer portal. We need tranparency on this. My guess is to get jahkeem stewart and longstreet and some of the other guys in this years class ate up alot of the budget. then you add guys they had to pay to retain like jakobi Lane, makai lemon and others and its not far fetched to say that maybe they have spent majority of what they had. I imagine getting keshawn silver wasnt cheap either. I said before portal started that they needed to greatly improve on the 19th rated transfer class they had in 2024. Now sitting at 43rd it might be hopeful just finish in top 20.

Our football team needs extra care and so attack this nil with ferocious intention. Lincoln and Cohen have an ego problem. That itself makes me want to move on from them. There is no way alums won't pay for NIL. I thi m they are the one who holds this nil back.

From what I understand, the administration is working on getting a new GM. But, this sounds like the collective may not be as healthy as they say it is. However, things need to change and this is not a Riley problem. I will say this, they seem to be keeping the defensive side of the ball, happy. Believe they made enough money off of the bowl game to keep someone like EP around for one last season...🤔
