Not to any real extent. There were rumors that Dante Moore decided to come to UCLA because they were able to put together a competitive-enough package for him, but other than that not really.
I think it is a 7 figure deal of some kind, but also not a "here's a few million dollars" kinda thing, but more "we can guarantee this much, and then you're in LA and we have connections that can get you more".
I also have a sneaking suspicion MoW was not behind the Moore deal, but rather someone with actual deep pockets (I would guess Wasserman since he still wants Chip to be successful as he's the one who drove the push to hire him in the first place, but could be others).
Carlos is good. Not to get too political, but he may be a bit leftist for some of you, but he's good people and his podcast is really good if you want to hear a general fan perspective (it is in many ways too homerific about the Pac-12 in general, which makes it even funnier).
just finished listening to the podcast and they cite your article at the 22:30 minute mark and Carlos goes into detail about BRO and you, Dimitri, at 35 minutes. the podcast overall has a bit too much F-bombs for my taste but i guess it gets the younger listeners.
wish you, Joe and Carlos and maybe some of the other Bruin experts can come together to compete with BRO though. you know it's about power in numbers just like us joining the b1g. also anyway to add a similar message board system here rather than just comments as i see a lot of non-related topics being commented on here under this article. then i think a lot of those not into BRO's narratives would come over here for the few bucks a month you ask for. i think the fishduck.com does something like that with a separate message board link which is nice and has quite a community, maybe even bigger than their 247 one.
is any of our players' NIL money public? Always hear about so and so getting a few million or a few hundred k to go to other schools.

Any idea what competitive would mean? Do we know what other schools were offering? I would assume itтАЩs 7 figures or close to it.
