    that is not what’s been reported by OU Insider and soonerscoop this offseason at least in regard to the specific players we were targeting. They’ve said we outbid the competition and still lost on the guys.

    both of those numbers exceeded what OU did / could offer

    To those claiming the recruits will come based on playing in a new arena, refer to post # 1828.
    Nah, not so much. It is really about the "ke$h".

    it’s not all about the cash. It’s always a combination. If all things were equal and we had trash facilities…we still lose.

    We still are going to lose with the lack of support from the AD, bottom of the conferance with NIL, and a coach that is struggling at the D1 level recruiting and coaching. The facilities are the least of the problems.

    They’re not though. But the facilities are just another big problem in a line of them.

    Good point about NIL money. Still reading up on how NIL works. Originally a fan of giving players some type of monthly stipends; but NIL will IMO unlevel the playing field for less wealthy universities. It will favor the more traditional football schools: Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Tennessee, Arizona, Clemson, Miami, USC, UCLA, Penn State, Notre Dame and others.

    Insanity. $850k is nearly the NBA minimum. I used to think the NFT craze showed how much dumb money was out there but NIL money may prove it more.

    NIL is the exact same money that these donors give to the athletic dept every year ... it is just being redirected ..

    The hell it is. I give plenty. If OU sends one dollar of it to NIL, that well will dry up.

    unless you are giving 500k - 1 million+ a year .. you are not who i am talking about and OU can't currently send money to NIL directly but that will soon change ..

    and very soon the players will have a CBA and have revenue sharing for football and basketball ..

    They haven’t sent donations over to pay NIL. But donors that would have donated to the athletic dept now invest in the NIL programs instead. The donor redirects, not the uni.

    It is about time the true cost of this boondoggle has been published.
    $600M from the "public"., aka Norman taxpayers.
    Disingenious to initially announce a price tag of $200m to sell the idea and then mention interest charges almost 3x greater.
    Also of interest is one of the commisioners wondering about a 1,200 car parking lot for a 5K seat arena. What happened to 8K seats?
    The posted link also touches on how this would impact the NPS.
