No we didn’t, idk why he used us but I think he was just giving an example

I don't read that as actual, factual numbers. I think whoever wrote that was just making up an example. He said "....South Carolina. They've offered." - I read that to mean we've offered a scholarship, but we haven't offered $5mill. He could have said $500 and $300 - point made was that regardless of money, the kid is choosing the school where he really wants to be. Just the way I read it.

Absolutely zero chance South Carolina has $5 million to throw at one player lol

I was thinking if we have that kind of money, we need to be buying some football players.

I believe it was just a fictitious example to shown that the player can not totally be bought, he will still go where he wants to even at a discount. i.e. the player is a standup person, since he will settle for $3 million vs go somewhere that is not his first choice for $5 million.

We were just used as a name in the example.

We're somewhat holding our own with nil $$, but that's obviously just an example. Kinda cool we got mentioned though.

If you're paying a one-and-done player 7 figures, that better translate into a title. An absolute must. Anything short of a title would be considered catastrophic failure.
