Also every coach in the country is going to negative recruit Glasco and Tech. Why bother committing there, highly rated HS prospect? They'll tamper and pay your replacement without telling you mid-season and push you into the portal as soon as the season ends.
Say what you want about Mike and Patty - they do develop players; Texas maybe at a higher rate than OU, but a lot of that four-peat was OU-recruited-and-developed-talent, especially at the plate.
His "aw shucks, golly gee" act is already tarnished by this. Especially if other programs (Tennessee, UCLA, Florida, Texas) start speaking up about it. There's 0.0% chance The Matador Club was identifying talent and doing all this without his input.
Tech is "all in" because it's the cheapest sport to pay for a title. Football rosters that win titles cost $30m+ and so many schools can match or exceed that. Basketball is out of control and you have to contend with how easy it is to play a year and then bolt for the league, and like football, you have blue bloods who absolutely will pay for those rosters. Baseball has to compete with signing bonuses from MLB.
Softball? Pfft, I think the highest AUX salary is like $70k. $3-5 million could put together a team of 5-6 All-Americans who developed at other programs easily.
