Where is he getting that number? We would be playoff contenders with that kind of payroll for two position groups.

We did not spend $15MM on O-line and D-line. Coach Huff is Puff-ing.

The funnier post game comment from the Eagle’s nest came from their good QB.
QB Braxton said something like: “they get paid just like we get paid but they probably get paid a little more.”

Maybe 15 -18 mil on the entire transfer portal but not just on the Defensive and Offensive lines

Well, first off, I think he got a bit crossed up in his wording. $15 million is the widely reported revenue sharing number for the P4 schools. So he may have had that on tip of his tongue, but then applied it only to OL/DL.

But, he’s not as far off as you think. There are 9 lineman positions, they make up 41% of the depth chart. If you apply 41% of the $15 million rev share to them, it’s $6.1 million. Then comes NIL, and this particular year you had all those astronomical deals getting grandfathered in before the house settlement agreement. Is it impossible for us to have $8.9 million in NIL spread around to 20-25 players? I don’t think so.

I don’t think the total amount is $15 million, but I bet it’s over $12 million. And I bet its probably double or triple of what USM is paying their entire roster.

Coach Huff has my full attention. I’m watching closely to see how well he manages that situation. Dude seems like he is destined to be an sec head coach.
I'm with you. My only concern is that he comes from the Jomo coaching tree. Hopefully he hit his head while falling out of it and forgot everything Jomo taught him.
