[QUOTE="Jason Voorhees, post: 132025368, member: 1512498"] A player doesn't need to pick up what you phrase as life changing money to go play for someone else. There are some starting O Lineman on Nebraska set to make a 100K this year. You can't ride off into the sunset with just 100K but how many 18-22 year old's have 100k lying underneath their mattress? 50K would be a large sum to these kids. Kids in this age group jump from one job to another for 50 cents more an hour. You also have to take into consideration that these kids don't have a mortgage or rent payment so after taxes this is disposable income for them. You need more than just a QB to win a championship. Some Teams that have won championships didn't have great qb play but what they all have in common is elite level O Line and D Lineman. Blue blood programs have large booster bases willing to throw large amounts of money to get what they perceive are the best players. In a few years from now every player that is on the two deep of a blue blood program will probably be earning something. As far as this individual commitment we don't how hard the other schools mentioned were recruiting him. They might have considered him as plan B. If he comes here and performs, they might come back in a couple of years with a suitcase full of cash trying to pry him away. This is what is worrying coaches at programs like wvu. [/QUOTE]
