Let me dig through the couch for some change and I can probably swing a liability policy...

If Hardee’s brings back $.49 cheeseburgers like they were when I was a student, I will pitch in 10 of those a week.
Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings
What a ride

I think he has to do something....can't "pay to play". He could model your mini-helmet collection on a Champ figurine to draw people to your website.

Re: Matt Ludwig - reopens recruiting
Yes, sorry, it is an endowment. But they had two brothers who are former players with oil money give them $100 million each. And they said if they needed more that the checkbooks were wide open… same thing at Oregon… Phil Knight said that the only thing he wants before he dies his Oregon national championship, therefore Oregon has a blank check to spend as much NIL money as they want…BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 8:47 amThat would make more sense. I thought he meant $300 million per year, which would be ludicrous.Cledus wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 8:28 amIt's essentially an endowment, so $300 million could conservatively earn $15 to $25 million per year. Plus, the present value of a $3 million contract to play would be substantially less. Also, there are non-cash items of value in the contract, like free use of a car and other things like that. You may be right, but I think the number Colter quoted is most definitely within the realm of possibility for a school like TT.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 11:04 pmColter. Come on now. Common sense tells us their NIL budget isn’t a third of a billion dollars. I’m guessing somebody added an extra zero on to what it actually is.Colter_Nuanez wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 10:28 pmWord is they have $300 mil (or more) in NIL $$. So…$3 million per player is nothing.PapaG wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 8:45 pmThat’s a ridiculous amount to pay a 4* true freshman from Montana.Colter_Nuanez wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 7:40 pmWould be surprised if he went anywhere but Texas Tech. Heard they are offering high 6 or low 7 figures.
Good for Moose if that’s true but that’s a crazy number for a guy who will likely play limited games and then redshirt next season.

Re: Matt Ludwig - reopens recruiting
Is this deal still available? I’m thinking of reopening my recruitment if this is the type of sweet incentives that are out there.
I love the Bobcats and the Miami Hurricanes an unhealthy level

Apparently the offer of the Ford Explorer wasn't quite enough incentive.

Well, if you are a 4-star recruit that's 6-4, 250 pounds with an 80”+ wing span with huge hands and can run and the Cats are willing to sign you, then heck yeah!BigBruceBaker wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 12:10 pmIs this deal still available?

I forgot the name of the place, but there was a burger joint across the street near the high school that had 10 for a dollar.

UM is the university equivalent of Axe Body Spray and essential oils.

Selfishly, a bummer it's not here or Oregon.
But he'll be a good one in Lubbock.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.
