Wherever the money's coming from, a chunk of it is going to Tennessee's sparkling new QB.

I guess Arch Manning's approach to social media and NIL (studious avoidance) catches my eye more than any of the new financial landscape.

If I were a college coach, I'd have staffers manage all the money aspects of the program the way that pro teams have cap and draft specialists.

Yeah, coaches definitely need a team of them folks now. Will probably have to eventually get someone that can manage a hard cap as I can see that coming in the future as well.
