BTW, who paid for all those plane flights? The player? The player's agent? The school?
Look, if I'm a QB that is going to hit the portal in late 2026, I'm not taking ANY flights up front.
It's gonna be video calls. I'm gonna make a commitment ASAP. We're going to agree to terms. Then I'll fly out to meet people, the staff, see the facilities, etc.
Every QB should know what he's getting with, say, Lincoln Riley. Or Lane Kiffin. Or Chip Kelly.
there are TONS of videos of schools bragging about their facilities, etc. You can watch videos of the players from school X being interviewed after practices. If you're serious about being serious, then you and your agent are going to do the homework as soon as you decide you're looking around. Maybe that's during summer camp. Maybe that's after Game 1. Whenever. Once you decide you're out, then you need to figure out what your realistic and acceptable options for the next gig are.
It's painful to see how much needless wear and tear Pribulla put on himself. For who? For what?
