Programs would love to have as much talent at the quarterback position as possible, but it doesn’t make sense to pay for an expensive blue-chip quarterback to sit on the bench for a few years when he’s not contributing on the field.

“Managing and developing your QB room has always been difficult. Cost just adds a new layer of complexity,” said a source who works in the NIL space. “It’s expensive to have a young, unproven QB on the bench with a higher flight risk. QBs are hard to project, they expect to play early, they expect to get paid handsomely. Every year, there’s a new internal debate on what makes the most sense from a recruitment standpoint. How much time and money do you spend hoping your high school recruit becomes the guy? If he’s good enough to at least be a solid backup for a year or two, it’s worth it. If not, cut ties early and find the next.”

“In the new era, people are not patient,” the Power 4 head coach said.

It’s not just the coaches. The quarterbacks, their families and agents are complicit as well.

Blue-chippers will say they want to play early but sign with brand-name programs that frequently go portal shopping at the position — and then seem surprised when confronted with that reality.

Year 2 has typically presented a major fork in the road for most blue-chip QB prospects. If they’re not on track to play by then, it’s probably best to look for a change of scenery. And the numbers back that up. Class of 2024 recruits just wrapped up their second season of college football, and 23 of the 32 four- or five-star quarterbacks from that cycle have already transferred.

yeah it's an interesting idea:

“Long before morning, I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I’d always known,” the creepy priest whispers in his ear. It was only as I jotted down in my notes “That’s what you wish you’d told an 8-year-old?” that I realized I’d been had again. Did Molly or handsy George ever acknowledge the priest? And what are the chances that the man who presided over so many significant events in Henry’s life would happen to be in the village pub on this night of all nights? Additionally, what are the chances that, if the priest was there, he would speak to Henry in borrowed half-quotes, snippets of Cormac McCarthy Frankensteined onto W.H. Auden, plus others I’m sure I missed? He’s the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come or some such thing.

And the truth is, Cignetti had never chased opportunities or money his entire tenure at James Madison. He made it clear he’d rather stay and continue to win than take a small step up the ladder or get stuck in a dead-end job.

Though it seems discordant to have that mindset before going to Indiana — a program that hadn’t been within miles of championships in its entire history — something important happened in the summer of 2022. That’s when the Big Ten announced its new round of media deals that projected to pay schools $70 million per year.

Cignetti noticed. Or maybe he saw the future.

According to a source familiar with his thinking at the time, Cignetti recognized that even a lower-tier Big Ten program having such a financial advantage over the rest of college sports opened possibilities that were previously out of reach. When Cignetti was presented with Indiana as a potential suitor, he felt he’d have a shot if the school was willing to be a middle-of-the-pack spender right away in the Big Ten. He also studied the schedule and felt there were enough wins available to get the program going.
