Ari Wasserman

@AriWasserman Also, who cares? It’s an idiotic discussion anyway. Imagine someone criticizing Apple for paying top dollar for engineers. “YEAH, LOOK AT THOSE LOSERS PAYING COMPETITIVE SALARIES TO DRAW THE BEST EMPLOYEES.”

@AriWasserman Ari be real just for a moment and I have no issue at all with Money being part of the equation, but Miami is certainly the poster child or whipping boy (Depends on your viewpoint) of the NIL movement.

@AWance24 @jamrock1986 @AriWasserman The way our fans got angry yesterday I feel like we sensitive. Tha hell we care bout what they say? They not like us.

NIL plays a role for EVERY top recruit. But it only becomes a headline with Miami. Then it’s all deep dives about ‘how much they paid.’ When it’s a SEC/B1G school? Silence. Just nice write-ups about tradition, development, and fit. The double standard isn’t subtle - it’s blatant.

So pumped to have @TBob53 in Chicago. He’s going to be an awesome addition to the team

NEW: @AriWasserman weighs in on NIL, Jackson Cantwell's commitment to Miami👀 "We have to stop this fantasy land crap where money doesn't play a factor... It's not recruiting from 2005 anymore, OK? You should be celebrating that Miami has deployed NIL effectively." https://t.co/TeVQmVyTUv

@AriWasserman He’s just happy he didn’t go to uga he hates uga he didn’t make this tweet when Jared Curtis committed

@AriWasserman This feels like when people confused “stars matter” to me. Hoarding talent doesn’t (or didn’t) guarantee success BUT teams who weren’t able to hoard talent could not compete at the highest level.

@AriWasserman Buying an OL to sit for two years is not using NIL very well. In fact it’s moronic.

@c_barrier @AriWasserman yeah, my point is that @AriWasserman constantly confuses talent hoarding and super teams. they’re not the same thing.

@AriWasserman i actually don’t buy the “killing the super team” theory at all. i’ve listened to tons of pods from you and elsewhere and nobody has explained it well at all, beyond it being a result of a more level *recruiting* playing field
