Correct, but IIRC Nagao kinda admitted he was getting a decent payday, it just wasn’t the highest offer. And it seemed like there was some smoke to him thinking of going to Iowa, so would make sense that PSU needed to offer something. Maybe Mesenbrink never really considered anywhere but PSU, although even his quote doesn’t mean he didn’t get anything, just that it wasn’t a factor in his decision, and the coaches didn’t talk about it (which I believe is technically illegal anyway)
