Rooks had one outstanding season in 2021. Let’s be honest, Conception is the reality. Whatever NIL $ it takes to keep him, pay it. He’s the man. Other schools need Rooks more than we do and are offering him a raise to change employers. I left a very comfortable, low key job, for a 40% raise just two years after leaving NCSU. No hard feelings here, man. College football is now a business, and you need to negotiate the best salary, terms, benefits, and extra perks you can. Thanks for a job well done while you were here.
