Bagman question
As I was reading the earlier thread about what the Rome trip cost, it dawned on me that I had no idea what the going rate is for paying a player to come to your school. Did Laquon Treadwell, for instance, get 25K per year? 50k? I am sure it varies by how good the player is. I seem to remember speculation that Rashan Gary could have made a quarter million if he had gone somewhere else.
The NCAA probably has all those stats. It's stacked underneath all the Jim Harbaugh stuff.
I have it on good authority (the player himself) that Nick Saban offered an all American linebacker $25,000 to go to Toledo. Adjust for interest and added resources, carry the 1... It's a lot.
How to respond to this...
