I'd prefer we improve recruiting through winning. No desire to be the top NIL in the conference

I doubt there's going to be a true two separate paths to recruiting like that. There will be too many programs that both win and pony up NIL for us to pick just one lane.

I think it largely functions as a virtuous cycle. Winning begets more NIL, begets more winning, begets more NIL, etc.

Then on the opposite side is the death cycle of losing --> leads to less NIL support --> leads to more losing --> leads to less NIL support, etc.

Can’t the university pay athletes as of next year? So there won’t be a need for NIL? These sellouts will help with our ability to pay players

Now let’s hope the second part comes true. Will be great for recruiting

Since Bret has been here, a player has made it/played in the NFL for every position group (drafted or on a team as UDFA) except for Edge (will change this year) and and P.

That should be the first thing to sell to recruits

Elite job … He convinced 3 of our star players to take less and come back last offseason … In one particular case he convinced a kid to take half of what an SEC school offered …

NIL is instant money … NFL is forever money …

And does it appear to be paying off (pun intended lol)

Did he tell each of those guys to turn down 2 and 3 times NIL and not to transfer for development?

My point was for those specific players.

That one’s been done for a little while …

We’re working on some major flips … That’s one and I expect 3 others … One is not easy to find a GIF for … But it’s Hirdes … Expect that one to be wrapped up shortly …
