For sure, being petty would be dumb, and I would expect the coach to also warn the player that, while they’re in the portal, we’ll be looking to fill your roll because we’re recruiting guys that are ready to commit to our brand of football and get down to business.

Totally agree. That is entirely fair and there should be no hard feelings on either side.

I don't think there's really anyone under that belief. You just pit your coaches against each other by doing so.

Fareway takes their normal donation to the AD and gives it to Audi directly as NIL. ISU is now out money that would have predominantly gone to FB and MBB while Audi is also getting revenue sharing.

Rogers now has a player demanding $X to stay and he goes to Steve Sukup for the money. Sukup funds that FB player. TJ now needs to pay a player to stay. Steve Sukup says, "I'm tapped out for this year. My money already went into FB." Jamie now goes to Steve for his annual donation to the general budget. He's tapped out. Football got all the money, MBB got nothing. TJ is pissed and bolts for a fully funded program with NIL as well.

Resources are still scarce. We don't have unlimited money to go around to everyone. I would bet that's why Jamie wants revenue sharing fully funded before donors are going directly to athletes. Even once that's done I'm guessing Jamie desperately wants the money being "set up" by the AD so it's not pitting coaches against each other.

I respectfully disagree with your first sentence, but everything else you laid out here makes sense. There are still plenty of people here that don't understand the difference between Revenue Share and NIL.

The dynamics you lay out here are very likely and may explain how JP handles things they way he does, but that's different than saying they're the "rules".

I know I'm splitting hairs here and not trying to be argumentative with you. I just continue to be shocked at how many don't understand the nature of this (you obviously do) given how much it's been discussed.

BB reported, i believe on the Wednesday podcast, that the former coaching staff held approximately 2-3 million back for 2026 player retention- so yes, they do have a bit of a reserve.

I’d love for someone to explain the mechanics of how this works. I don’t see how “reserving” money helps create additional money to be spent under these new rules. The revenue share sounds like “use it or lose it” each year.
 
LSU's offer to Sorsby got leaked, 3.5 million. TTU reportedly in the 5 range, as mentioned.
