It's comical too as the REC (Red Elephant Club) was basically NIL before NIL was even a thought. I believe they paid off a couple million on his lake house not to mention the Dodger Charger give away for a decade in T-Town, which was clearly done on the up and up...wink, wink. Now that it's above the table....it's not fair as others can possibly offer more in better areas than he can in T-Town.
^^^^^This.^^^^
Tgar understands that. Sooner or later rhe networks will inject their wishes if these dopes can’t figure it out. Compelling match ups made for TV.
Actually, one of our players recently did get a Benz though NIL. I saw it and can't find player or picture again.
NIL should concern many SEC schools not based in TX, Saban is the first to figure it out in the wild west days of NIL. BIG schools have wealthier alumni and are especially well placed in corporate America. Without parity in access to cash, the advantages will slip away. NIL is a vehicle for unlocking the stranglehold the SEC has enjoyed. The DL from Georgia who went to USC should scare all the conferences not named BIG
I completely agree with your post. In time NIL can prove to be the vehicle that neutralizes the SEC juggernaut on college football. If landing elite HS talent solely depends on money all roads will point to the B10 and PAC-12. These schools in my opinion have the wealthiest alumni base. Then the question becomes, how does an AD persuade an even larger percentage of its alumni base to give even more money?
