aTm has 33 billion in endowments and now thru collectives can funnel that to whoever they want,
why do you think they had the highest recruiting class in the history of football
lsu has 500 million in endowments, bama 600 mil
i believe Texas has more endowment money than aTm
we can't win this game which is why Saban and Kelly say something has to be done and soon to regulate this cause we can't keep up

Now, this is an uninformed assumption/statement. You can't funnel school non-profit foundation endowments to NIL. I am not implying that A&M and UT don't have more NIL money, but it is not coming from endowments from the Universities.

You know not what you speak of.

More like 700 million.

Also, not sure if applicable regarding endowment, but LSU's Fierce for the Future Fund raising Campaign which just ended raised $1,594,464,658.

I am confident that Jimbo would frick up a roster of nothing but five stars.

So you are saying A&M (or any school) is using endowments to pay recruits? Please show us where you saw this. That can’t be true.

Believe it or not but the Alabama, OSU, Georgia, LSU's of the world are not paying top dollar for high school recruits.

It's the school's with little track record of developing high school kids in to men and NFL players that have to resort to trying to outbid everyone

Those schools I listed have more to offer than just NIL money.

That's not to say they're not paying, they absolutely are. There are more factors than just NIL.

Teams like Texas and A&M have no choice but to back up the Brinks truck because their track records leave much to be desired.

It also seems like Kelly tends to avoid the players who are only after the most money they can get up front. Hopefully it continues to work out for us.

If nothing is Done LSU cant keep up with the Texas Money. It used to be LSU could go into Texas and grab 2 or 3 top Texas players every year but with things the way they are now Texas & A&M will just throw boat loads more money at those kids to stay in state. Looks like it's already happening. Add the Fact now they just come into La. and start taking top La. talent as well. Something needs to get done to cap what schools can pay for NIL yearly.
