Episode Details

Penn State's NIL strategy is one of the biggest questions heading into the 2027 recruiting cycle — how do you spend wisely on freshmen who may not see the field for two years, while competing against programs with bottomless budgets? Thomas Frank Carr and Sean Fitz tackle this question and more in the latest BWI spring break mailbag, including Penn State's 2027 quarterback board, Sean's upcoming recruiting big board, and how the new staff is approaching offers differently than the Franklin era.
