Yea, Prime Time may be able to out NIL the SWAC at JSU but he ain't gonna out NIL the SEC at STATE.
Boom, there it is. Bottom line, it's not a good use of our resources. You need to maximize what you are, and MSU generally is a physical, developmental program. The very few studs we do get are usually on defense, so obviously offense is where we must be imaginative.
NIL is only one piece of this thing, that's what people don't understand. Less than 20% of FBS football players will ever really benefit from it.
All that said - maybe if hiring Deion could create some type of partnership with Jackson State or something, where all their fans become MSU fans too, and Jackson becomes a true MSU stronghold, maybe something to that.....I don't know, just brainstorming. But in our normal world I'm not seeing any reason at all that would make hiring Deion a good idea.
