I’ll believe it when I see it. I don’t think that happens but with cfb today I guess who tf knows any more.

Shut your whore mouth

[MikeDeTiger]

Couple of years ago I would've thought no way because there's zero reason for him to do something like that.

Then came NIL, and who knows anymore.

Does anyone in Cali have enough money? I mean after taxes and filling the tank

Yeah but here’s the thing….

Ohio State football is a WAY bigger brand than USC football, it generates way more money than USC, and it’s boosters donate way more money.

Any NIL deal that USC collectives could offer Marv, an OSU collective could offer just as much if not more if it really wanted to.

USC is kinda a poor in this whole thing. It’s not at the money making level of a Texas, A&M, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Bama and it never has been. They don’t get the tv ratings to generate the fat tv contract hence to move to the B1G and they can’t even sell out their stadium when they are actually any good.

Someone asked Marv about that and is answer was “ where the F does this SHIT come from”

I believe this falls in the category of totally made up stuff, but it ends up in forums and SM, like right here.

I can’t see Marv leaving. I could see Henderson bolting for another team though…

Ohio State's NIL collectives are not really competitive with the big dogs right now.  I'm sure USC can offer more.

Iowa offered more NIL $$$ than Bama

[utee94]

Ohio State has some very good, organized NIL structures in place.  They should be able to compete with USC in that arena.

In other areas like beaches and song girls, not so much.

Alabama is going to struggle with NIL.  They just don't have the pockets, or the local/regional opportunities for branding, that many other major football schools have.  Guys like Bryce Young can use their national appeal to land fat Dr. Pepper deals, but he's doing that on his own, not through Alabama's organized NIL structures, so that's not helping the 2nd string o-lineman who's being offered $50K at other places, while Alabama just can't match it.

Should be able to theoretically, but in practice have been outbid multiple times for recruits and portal transfers.  Gene Smith made a plea for more NIL "donations" to get up to snuff.
