The recruitment of blue-chip quarterback Arch Manning, a rare collision of talent, pedigree and possibility, captivated college football for years.

Manning ended the intrigue Thursday afternoon, committing to Texas over suitors that included Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Clemson and Virginia.

So, you think that NIL had nothing to do with his choice? It doesn't matter what the "Manning family" is worth, this kid is looking to maximize the brand and take it to new levels. Maximizing the NIL was without a doubt one of the top factors.

Dr. Scholl, foot doctors, fans of the St. Louis landmark, and naming the child after the back shape of the woman during the mating?

No. They own the best recruiting state in the country and can't do shit with it.

Missouri may be the little engine that never will, but Texas is the big engine that should and can't.

Oh, and YAY for the next round of endless Manning ballwashing. :-)

Texas is lucky they are moving to the SEC because the Manning family would have said no way to the Big 12.

He would make millions in NIL at any of his top choices (which apparently were Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, and Texas.) And his family is worth hundreds of millions. If he was simply auctioning his services to the highest bidder he would probably be playing for Oregon or Texas A&M.

So yes, of course NIL matters overall but not on the margin of picking among his top 4. I would guess the most important thing to the Mannings is the school where he would get the best development for his future NFL career, and Steve Sarkisian has an incredible record on this.

If anything it will be the opposite, Mizzou was irrelevant in the ("weak") Big 12 before exiting to the SEC and going to the conference championship 2 out of 3 years. Then obviously fading back into conference mediocrity after losing their coach.

That’s what makes the SEC and B1G so good right now, they get to have schools like Missouri and Iowa who play in a weak division and rack up wins not playing the good teams. I want to say it’s Oklahoma(or someone else in the Big12) among others, but out of conference schools have played Ohio State more in the last ten years than Iowa has, and they are in the same conference.
