Yep, it's pretty stupid when college kids can buy their dad a new mansion:
Deion Sanders' sons buy him a new mansion in Colorado
This model is not sustainable. Even if no cap or rules are implemented, I predict it will burn itself out in 5-10 years. Whether the money is coming from boosters, universities, TV deals or merchandise, it's money that was spent on something else in the past. One can justify diverting those funds for only so long and then they'll put it back into something with a better ROI.
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. The kid was 4th string on a .500 team. So you feel we shouldn't try to upgrade the roster, including running back? Why are you so defensive about this particular player? As though the majority of the kids on the team don't bust their ass? "most fiercely competitive, overachieving, players that ever put on a NT uniform". Really? If he felt that way and/or the coaches, he may not have hit the portal.
Kudos to him though, he followed his parents and a sibling to KState; where he mostly played on special. We had a need at RB and he moved over. Good story. I stand by my opinion that we need to always try to upgrade the roster at all positions.
As for as other NT RB's that brought notoriety to the program with their impact:
Patrick Cobb, Lance Dunbar, JaQuan Wilburn, Jeffrey Wilson, DeAundre Torrey, Kevin Galbreath, Antoine Jimmerson, Eric Pegram, Malcolm Jones, Bernard Jackson and Adeyi to name a few.
