Eer, about the NIL...
We like to get excited about our incoming recruits, but it doesn't mean a thing if as soon as they show promise, they enter the portal and are gone. I hope we are locking up our top recruits with long term NIL deals that are structured that the breaking of the contract is almost always not worth it. Including game time accrual as an adjustment to NIL would allow for an increase in money given. Paying a recruit $100,000 for his redshirt year only to have him leave when he's ready to play seems like a waste of money. Either lock them into long term deals, or just put the money on portal guys who will be an asset the time they are here getting NIL.
