Suriano

Been thinking about this and to me spending 150k on a 2 month rental that likely only gets you into the top ten makes little sense. If we had that type of donor wouldn't it be better spent on recruits that you can build from the base. Lastly NIL dollar amount anyone gets, a matching amount needs to go Carr's way or he might actually join his buddies in Nittanyland.

You think he’s gonna transfer? Or you mean joining their RTC after he’s done?

This is what I can’t understand from people. When you have a donor they get to spend it in anyway they see fit. Some donate on a blanket others donate for very specific things. If they want to do it for a 2 month rental guess what it’s their money and their right to do so with it how they see fit. And Carr isn’t joining PSU he’s here to cement his own legacy above his dads during his college career.

Yeah telling anyone that wants to dole out $150K how they should spend it, is a new one. Very impressive.

I don’t know.

1. we have no idea if you can even get a top recruit with money.
2. Recruits don’t pan out all the time. None are proven national champions like Suriano.
3. Having 2 champs this year will pay dividends in recruiting going forward. Not to mention, any recruits that are interested in money will learn ISU is a place to consider.

I think getting Suriano for this year has a bigger impact on future recruiting then spending the same amount of money on some unproven recruits would. Plus you get the added benefit of a proven performer and point scorer this year. Also, Suriano is one of the top names in the sport. Very popular. He will get a lot of publicity.

This staff definitely needs something to sell on the recruiting trail. So I think there is not really a downside.

plus the coaches still run the program, and they would be on board for anything that happens

Would be onboard with something like this. That wasn’t what the rumor said but if that’s a nuance it changes the situation for me.
 
This is out of a sporting news article I think it explains it fairly well. Like I said in a previous post the donor gets something in return for $ they are paying them for their celebrity is what this article calls it :

Is anything actually illegal now?
Of course. It’s still the NCAA. Let’s say there’s a big booster that owns a car dealership. That booster still can’t say, “I’ll give you $50k to attend and star for my alma mater.” That’s still illegal. There are still going to be the same type of recruiting restrictions that have resulted in infractions and punishments in the past.
Aren’t there ways around that?
Yep. And they’re not even really loopholes, even though they might feel like it because of how we’ve been conditioned to think about the NCAA and “amateurism.” They’re just “legal ways to pay athletes for their services” now. In the above example, an athlete who signs with a school could immediately start a series of personal appearances and endorsements over his/her first year at the school and get paid a total of $50k. Probably couldn’t get away with $50K for one autograph signing — that’s not market value — but if it’s 10 appearances/promotions at $5,000 each? That’s all fine now, because it’s a player using his/her “celebrity” at a school to make money, not using his/her promise as a recruit to get encouragement money.
