Georgia football maintains ârelationship businessâ with roster management
Smart â arguably the master of modern-day roster management with the most NFL draft picks (46) and national titles (2) in college football the previous four years â has held private meetings with players about their football futures.

Interesting article Mike. Good analysis.
Like Kirby, I do think relationship vs. transactional is the way to go. You have a better time building trust and team cohesion. You understand expectations - both players and coaches. Having said that, the dollars will come into play, and Kirby will use his war chest Smartly.
the Damon Wilson lawsuit is providing a baseline that contracts have weight. So as these young mean build their film for future $$, I’m hoping that the costs of leaving along with a strong development path with keep the best at UGA
UGA needs to be more self-reliant and use the resources it has, Sanford, Stegman, etc. I live here in utk land, and they have a couple of events a week in their BB arena. They plan to have several more concerts in neyland in 2026 and beyond. Having the one show in 2026 in Sanford is great, and a good beginning, but it's time to think bigger and outside the box. GATA!!!
I love the way the Arizona State coach said there has to be someone in Phoenix who can write a $20 million check. It's easy to spend someone else's money. The question for the individuals and corporations that are spending the money is what is the return? As a businessman, I'm responsible for my business and must ensure the money I spend grows and benefits it. I don't see where the businesses are getting a return on NIL. There are only a few players in college football who connect with the general public, because it is a regional game, and they aren't at a school very long. It will be interesting to see how these large NIL contributions continue. I believe once businesses have a measure of the financial effect, they will spend those dollars in other ways.
NIL is NOT an investment to these oil spenders. It is play money to **** their favorite team/ego to win it all. NIL numbers keep going up, with no end in site. If this was truly a ROI environment, then the numbers would already be dropping. I read the other day, the average price for an elite QB or edge rusher was between 1-2M and next years projection was double that. At some point we will to need a find a super-rich booster.

@87Dawg_11 You are right about most companies and the responsibility of those who are charged with leading them. However, this situation could and probably will result in an unfair advantage for guys like Cody Campbell and Phil Knight who have built businesses that are so large that the major impact they are able to make on CFB through NIL would make a negligible impact on the balance sheet for their corporation. I congratulate them for their success and I'm all for the free-market opportunities they have taken advantage of, but using their profits to impact college football is something different once these players are being paid amounts that are far beyond the level of revenue that their NIL could possibly generate for the donor.
I live in Scottsdale Kenny. Stop on by and I'll give you the 20. But I don't write checks anymore so you have to accept a crisp, clean Jackson. Let's see first what you can do with 20 bucks.
I understand that the boosters that are throwing the huge money into these programs aren’t expecting a return, my point is that won’t last. If they don’t make money from it, they will eventually get bored and move on to something else. NFL owners that are making billions off their teams don’t just throw money at them, in fact, they created a salary cap so they wouldn’t be tempted to overspend.
the boosters don’t get a cut of concessions, parking, etc whereas nfl owners get all of that. They also get the $ from any other events that take place in their taxpayer funded welfare queen palaces. College football boosters get none of that.
