Here is my problem - lets say you are right and our NIL is 8 and the bears is 10. We might win 4 games this year. They might win 9-10 games.

The ratio isn't working. If we are at 8, then our team should be close to the bears instead of a 20+ underdog to them.

That is my biggest problem. ITs not a situation where we don't have the funds, its how we are spending it. I mean, its like FSU and DJ, word is that he is getting close to a million dollars from FSU. How much are we paying Shapen and the OL? I've been told it is significant.

Who are we paying on defense other than the few already listed?
