Hey LWS, appreciate your take but it's hard to understand how a school that has a run down stadium and no fans could have more money than a team that charges $1000 for a ticket. Speaking from personal experience, after paying $400 to sit in the nose bleeds for Georgia and OU games.

because NIL is driven by your billionaire boosters, not ticket prices. Ticket price money supports football and all the other program operations, not players NIL. The everyday fans can contribute their $100 bucks a month to collectives but that is pennies compared to what is needed NIL wise. It takes those big time boosters throwing in millions to support NIL.. Vandy has plenty of those who "appear" to be throwing in support..

I really believe this year we are going to go all in on the portal as we did on signing day. I think like PSU did last year we are going to build the right roster. For PSU, they failed and it cost Franklin his job.

Josh will have the resources this year. For him it will be playoffs or bust. I do think it will all come down to who is our QB. Where PSU failed was their QB regressed and it all fell apart with the Oregon loss

Following that scenario, Josh either has a young, inexperienced QB or another portal QB he hopes to train in his offense.

If PSU is an example, the moral to that story was have a solid QB BEFORE you go all in on other transfers. We don't unless Joey A gets an exemption.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but it would be fascinating to know how the funds are apportioned. In order to answer, one would further have to define what is meant by "funds", as there are two sources: 1) rev share 2) NIL. Is there an entity that sets the budget on each? Are they then combined? Once combined, does the same entity then designate funds to certains groups: player retention? portal acquisition? incoming freshmen recruits? Postion groups? Slush fund for guys that demand more mid-season or before the playoffs?
And does the NIL collective have to do a "fund raise" yearly? It would seem extremely labor-intensive to have to hit the same folks up, year-in, year-out. Maybe they make multi-year commitments. If not done through the athletic department and done directly to the collective, do they get athletic department "perks" in exchange?
The acquisition and allocation funds in this new world has no transparency so I wouldn't be surprised if your answer was "clearly you're not one of the billionaires, so you will never know."

So, are we going to be able to match Michigan State?
