[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1834853, member: 590800"] Yep! I also think there is a very important perception component to this - especially in today's world of NIL and conference expansion musical chairs - where you want to be thought of as a place with deep pockets and a checkbook ready! People make fun of Texas A&M "buying recruits," but would we not all take that situation if the money is there and that is simply the reality now?! I absolutely hated back in the RG days when the University of Illinois (the biggest state in Big Ten Country at the time!!) was in the bottom third of the conference for coaches' salaries. I'm glad that JW knows what to spend the money on. [/QUOTE]
