    Whether or not it works out for them is TBA, however their use of NIL and the transfer portal to improve their roster instead of ?maintain? is how it should be done. If you?re not improving you?re not getting better.

    Yep and it's going to pay dividends for them too. Only game on their schedule right now I say is a loss is UGA. They can win the rest.

    They have to go for broke now and they know it. Spend the $$$ and reap the dividends later. They are pushing for inclusion in the next level and this is how the game is played today.

    It's called the Miami Marlins theory. Buy a 1 year team to win a Championship and then unload all the payroll and start over. Hopefully it is a colossal failure for the Bearsharks!

    They are in the hole as an athletic dept and having to literally take out loans to pay nil. I don’t want that. It will pay off in the short term BUT long term it’s not sustainable and will result in a massive crash.

    I'm 100% pulling for them to implode. I would also 100% trade places with them today.

    Kinda like taking loans from escrow funds then paying them back before being caught/ Or it sounds like they are pulling a Madoff.

    I don't buy that. They have alumni with fat stacks of old money and they are ready to spend it. It's not just going to be this year. It's going to be every year. It is a lifestyle.

    It honestly doesn't bother me anymore after the first couple portal guys they got. It is what it is. They are immediately the favorite for any big time portal prospect. What's happening over there cheapens the whole thing to the point where it's hard to even invest emotional energy into it. Here's to hoping it implodes so we can laugh our ass off

    Only hope of imploding is an injury to Dart or a Locker room implosion.They have the basis of a really good team, especially receiver’s, they also are overdue for some major injury scenario’s. Also some SEC teams that were down this year that they won by one TD will be difficult to replicate two years in a row.....JMHO

    Yeah, but they don't have Bama, LSU, UGA, UF, A&M money...but somehow they're spending like they do...doesn't add up

    om is the 2nd smallest school in the SEC (I believe that's still correct). Several schools in the SEC have law schools...I can think of 7 off the top of my head, and trust me, as a lawyer myself, 95% of us aren't making $300k+ a year...there is nothing about their alumni's characteristics that jumps out at you and says, "oh okay, that's where the money is coming from (if you compare them to even the top 2/3rds of the SEC)"...its just a mystery that doesn't make any sense. There is nothing about their alumni's demographics that would suggest that they are able to spend what they spend versus the rest of the SEC (now that spending money is perfectly "legal")...it just doesn't make any sense.
