Spending that amount of money would be worth it to sinply not have to hear LWade hint at Peyton scaring away point guard recruits again.

But will it help our recruiting culture? @The Dad

You absolutely spend that much if you can get a kid that good. One year and those funds would be available because he's in the NBA if all goes well.

I would assume whatever they scrounge up to pay him, should they get him, would be above and beyond their normal amount and wouldn't just be available in future years.

Any funds would be available if he's gone

If they're getting 2-3 million extra from donors for one year for just this guy, that wouldn't automatically be there next year or the year after

If they keep winning and putting themselves in contention for these kinds of recruits, why on earth wouldn't the money continue to "be available"?

Because we don't have sugar daddies
