USC has offered Pitt's Jordan Addison more than $2 million to transfer there. No, he's not even in the transfer portal, but that's the new world of CFB. Suck for Pitt and I am sure most PSU fans will take joy in it, and that's fine. We know we can't compete with the $$ of the big programs.
But, serious question, where do you see PSU fitting in this new world of CFB? As a program, you have more athletic department dollars than most and plenty of fans. But does PSU have the booster $ to offer huge NIL deals like USC, LSU, Oklahoma, etc. are doing? Even if the booster money is there, is there interest in spending it this way? I haven't heard of PSU using NIL to "buy" players like this, but feel like you will have no choice if you want to compete with Ohio St / Mich in conference and USC, Alabama, LSU, etc. out of conference.
