Tejas dropped $280,000 on this weekend for nine recruits. So, who owns Riley's pad in PV? Does USC pay Riley if they use the property for school business?
Inside the Texas spending blitz that hooked Arch Manning and a No. 2 recruiting class

Arch Manning had visited the University of Texas before. The nation’s No. 1 overall recruit and scion of the Manning family made three unofficial visits to the school in a nine-month span, but when he arrived in Austin the weekend of June 17, it was different. This was his official visit to Texas, a designation that meant the school could roll out the red carpet for him, using its expansive resources to try to impress the most coveted quarterback recruit in decades. A luxury hotel. An open bar for parents. A smorgasbord of food and nonstop entertainment. Nine recruits, including Manning, received first-class treatment throughout their 48 hours in Austin, all paid for out of the school’s substantial recruiting budget.
I posted this last month….
Manninga a true 3* with a big name is comparable to the lavish praise that would heaped on that Oklahoma product, Aikman, if one of his but-babies could throw a football instead of just stinking.
Due to liberal i vestment restrictions. Them moralizing about where they will and won’t spend their cash. Or invest it. Harvard yale etc are not growing their endowments as fast as tejas. Experts say they could pass up the ivy’s with all their oil holdings and investments in the next ouple years. Not sure where stanford stands.
It’s going to be hard for him to live up to the hype.
