I don’t think we ca afford it because of what we are paying him but I wish we could get two OTs. I think Pritchett needs to get pushed by another player, I’m not completely sold on him.

It’s not really saying much, but I thought outside of EJ, he was probably one of the better players on offense in the latter half of the season.
 
I swore on a sports nightly in the last month Dannen stated we would have over 30 million to spend on football in 2026...maybe I am dreaming
Yes but that is with an estimated $15mm in rev share. The remaining $15mm is covered by the shift of the media deal to NIL and Adidas and others. Problem even with that number is that the top teams had $30mm+ rosters BEFORE rev share kicked in. NIL shortfall was discussed in 2025 and I think the consensus was NU was trailing the top NIL schools by $15-$20mm. Based on the roster talent and Rhule’s slow building, plus not high level hs talent this makes sense to me.

So conceivably we’re currently $10-15mm off the current pace likely more. I may have misunderstood and am a big dumb animal however that is my gorilla math.

It's only embarrassing if you haven't been paying attention and/or you are a completely fucking idiot.

Texas Tech has proven that 1) they are willing to outspend anyone and everyone for portal players they want - they targeted White as a top priority. On top of that, they also have a proven track record of taking portal players and them having tremendous success.

Lastly - players don't follow their coaches all the time! Remember last year when Tony White left for FSU - Princewell ended up transferring to Ole Miss. The majority of our defensive players that left ended up at other schools than FSU.

Don't be so simple minded...
It’s possible I overreacted
