Last week, just days after college athletic programs were able to directly share revenue with their athletes, Felix Ojo, a five-star offensive lineman from Mansfield, Texas, announced his college decision. He held offers from Ohio State, Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia and just about everyone else.
He chose Texas Tech.
One of the reasons was a rich revenue-share deal with the Red Raiders that a Texas Tech source said is worth at least $2.3 million over three years but that Ojo's agent says will guarantee him at least $5.1 million.
It was a cannon shot across the world of college football recruiting.
