Sounds like Nebraska has been pretty active already. I think Pat Stewart is basically Tamperer-in-Chief now

You don't have to care but it does matter. If Nebraska is offerring a conventional deal earned over time and a school currently in the playoffs is willing to frontload a larger deal, disbursing funds within 24 hours you should take that deal every time. Rich or poor that's still a better deal. Sounds like Nebraska is moving more toward the Tech model this year

Some schools are more willing to overpay than Nebraska. Tech is one of those but there are others and a chunk of them made the playoff this year

Even on the qualitative side, its not like we've had a first round pick in the last decade. Nebraska has more money than Cockeye and 2 starters on their roster have turned down more money at Nebraska for the reasons you're describing

Tech overpaying carries water. I don’t believe their ability to cut a check with in 24 hrs does that much. These kids already have hundreds of thousands of dollars. Their agents and parents with guide them to the place that offers the most money and the best opportunity to make the playoffs and NFL.

TT is just one example. OSU, Indiana, Ole Miss, Oregon etc… we’re all super active and successful in the portal and none of those schools were front loading cash within 24 hrs of signing.
