It’s pocket money if a lot of these 5* make to the league. Kids aren’t thinking long term at all. Now you have 8 or 9 kids making a good bit of money spending their time spending it instead of grinding like they would broke.
I don’t see how it will last. Has a new home now with the figs. Man, unreal to think he will have to watch that dance team for 3 or 4 years. I would need much more than that.

apparently 450 was the total value of the deal but that isn't all cash. A vehicle was included in that. I would assume a lease for him to use in College Station.


Still taxable as income. So even less hard currency.

The rumors are A&M paid upwards of $30 million for their class of 25+ players so that means these kids are making north of $1 million each. Why is Mathews only getting $450k?

Cause their class wasn't 30 mil.

Not every kid got 400k.

I'd say just the top players got anywhere from 80k to 500k.

I laugh at those that believe ATM paid 30 mil for one class.

Matthews will be in the portal next year and transfer to LSU. I'll put money on it. Get his money upfront from A&M, head to LSU.



Why is everyone repeating this about every player that didn't come to lsu.

It gets old. He is getting the money yearly.

No one really transfers after a year. It would be 2 years after you aren't playing.

I recall that owner Tom Yawkey spent millions for years trying to buy a championship for the Red Sox until it finally happened..


LOL….MLB didn’t have free agency until November 1976 - 4 months after Tom Yawkey died.
