I wonder if it's NIL that is the problem. No secret that CU doesn't have the resources to compete nationally right now in football, and the transfer portal game is no. 1 a contest of who has the biggest bag. If USC is having issues making sure its collectives actually pay guys, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some missing/bounced checks. The whole "Deion is pushing guys out" narrative doesn't really make sense when they are well under the scholarship limit and could add 15+ guys as things stand.I agree 100%
My only guess is that they can put on a show when you arrive in Boulder. It's a beautiful setting. You meet Shedeur, Warren Sapp. They give you the "you want to play for someone who look like you" speech. Throw a little bit of NIL $$ and I think there are enough naieve 19-20 yr olds that will fall for that.
But funnily enough everyone who's been there a year sees right through it. Hell they're getting guys who've only been there 3.5 months and they want out LOL
Deion's strategy would work at a place like Auburn where you have a good talent pipeline and can pony up to get top talent in the portal. I think you need a Leipold type to really succeed in Boulder.
