Yea the point was Sumrall apparently didn't "chose Auburn" because of our boosters, but went to UF where their booster situation is massively worse.

This narrative was always BS. Florida’s booster situation is much worse than ours. They will eat him alive if he’s not successful.

When will the bubble burst. This can’t continue on this pace for long. Lots of good coaches will hang it up, unwilling to deal with this crap. Average players demanding a million is crazy. Sad state and I am rapidly losing interest. There Has to be some way to put a cap on this crap.

Hugh lost to NMST year one and then they still funded the portal class we had this past offseason. You won’t hear me ever say anything bad about our situation, seems all they care about is winning football games.

The only solution is multi-year contracts. If a player wants to transfer, another school has to buyout the contract....or I guess the current school if they want the player gone bad enough. This would create some additional risk in being stuck with HS busts on the payroll for multiple years...but that's how it is in all pro leagues. If you give big contracts to bad players you probably won't be very good. There is no other sports league in the world where every player is on a 1-year deal essentially and can freely test their market value and go to the highest bidder. It is completely unsustainable.

I think you could have a signee contract for the first year. Then after that a multi year contract.

Florida is a job that many people, for whatever reason (probably folks growing up in Spurior or Meyer eras), have a totally skewed view of from the outside at 30,000 feet. The reality there is much different (worse) on many fronts than the casuals around the conference realize.
