Can someone explain to me how on Earth this is good for a team? (If it is true)
What do you do? Since you are giving him $4 million is he the starter from day one? The true freshman jumps the line ahead of all the other QBs.
If he is not named the starter you have $4 million of some donors money sitting on the bench? Does the starter then demand $4 million or he transfers?
So the donors are basically the recruiting coordinators now? Or do they let someone from the staff tell them how to spend their $4 million?
If he blows his knee this summer what happens to the $$$? If he starts and absolutely sucks what happens?
I have a hard time trusting that some donor coughed up $4 million for an unproven product but it is Texas after all so they probably do have someone rich enough, arrogant enough and dumb enough to do this.
