It’s not a good thing. At least when it was under the table there was an understood agreement not to get carried away (Ole Miss) or the NCAA and other programs are going to make your life hell and come after you. Now it’s just free rein with no limits where the highest bidder wins and we are working with a much smaller war chest than everyone else in our conference.

I mean those are facts man. I hate it but it’s reality.
Our war chest isn’t as bad when you consider that LSU has struggled to raise their NIL. https://www.nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu...ea62b25a-117b-11ef-bc9e-032e9a1e96c1.amp.html .
Also what you’re not thinking about is that we are about 12/18 months away from being able to bring NIL in house. This will allow us to use rev sharing BC and true NIL money to fund players. This will even get us closer to market value. Selman has now hired the NIL guy from Arkansas and now Missouri to better prepare State for what’s to come. Yet you and other still want to pick out the negatives and not look at the positives we have working for us right now.

That’s great and I’m glad we are getting better there but we are still behind everyone else in conference. It’s just the numbers man. We have a small fan/alumni base compared to rest of SEC.

But anyways, your original argument was that NIL becoming a thing was and has been a positive for State when it clearly and most definitely is not. That was my point.
