UGA paying high schoolers to stay committed

[AlistarWills]

My wife was listening to Bill Bubba Bussey’s podcast and he had Herb Winches on. Herb made a comment about Kirby Smart saying they were paying upwards of $20k per month to HS recruits to keep them committed to UGA. This is truly idiotic.

For 20k a month I would commit to uga. I would not go there or become a fan, but I would stay committed

That’s a lot of dough. I assume this is $20k across all recruits. I wonder how much each one gets as a “down payment” for future NIL money?

Just putting them on the payroll a little early, that’s all. Not surprised at this in the least.

What guarantees does UGA have that these kids won't change their mind last minute? Or hit the transfer portal the first chance they get?

I think it is a money back guarantee. They go somewhere else they have to pay it back..

I wonder if the contract is with UGA or a third party? If the contract is with UGA, it should be public record.
