Can LSU compete in NIL??

I’m so tired of people acting like LSU doesn’t have money to spend on recruits in the era of NIL. Last I checked we were a top 5-10 program in terms of revenue and just signed our coach to one of the biggest contracts in CFB history. We literally took CBK from “blue blood” Norte Dame. Take some time to look into TAF’s balance sheet. I think people are confusing academic endowments with money that can be thrown around at hs recruits. Academic endowments are money/grants pledged to the University for specific purposes within ACADEMICS, not football. If it were all about who has the most billionaires/ largest endowments Harvard would win the CFP every year. Sure, it doesn’t hurt to have a couple billionaire donors throwing money at the program, but the spending were currently seeing is not sustainable. People also forget the value that the LSU brand brings to the table. A hs kid can come to LSU and become a national brand in ways that they can’t at other programs. Look at Burrow, Daniels, even Livy Dunne, etc. In conclusion quit the woe is me bullshite. Just because the state of Louisiana is “broke” doesn’t make the football program broke. In fact one can argue that sometimes the brokest states produce the most lucrative programs.

Under what few rules they have for NIL, TAF money could not be used for NIL purposes, as I understand it. That money would need to be rerouted to LSU's collective instead of going to TAF, I think. And I don't think TAF can give them money.

Too many people mistake not playing the game for not being able to play the game.
We've beat out a lot of schools for a lot of players. Ones that are known to break bank such as Georgia, Texas A&M, Texas, etc.
It seems to me that LSU has a very deliberate method on how they are proceeding. At the end of the day, you have to have the right mix, plus kids who actually want to come to the school and buy into development and the vision of the coaches. If not you end up like Texas A&M with a group of hired mercenaries out for there's.
Just my 2 cents.

I would say Yes

Some kids who want to go to the highest bidder, you just pass on. Remember, A&M has had some of the best recruiting since NIL became a thing. They all just seem to be mercenaries.

If they get the right guy to run Bayou Traditions they can absolutely compete. Right now the running ain’t it! J.A.

You may have a point but it’s no secret La is a poor state with relatively small population. Is what tis

NIL money is being paid to Orgeron and his coaching staff to sit at the house and chase tail

By what mechanism does this money get to recruits? This has nothing to do with NIL.

University of Texas’s Clark Field Collective rented out a famous restaurant in the FQ for the Sugar Bowl, and to be invited you have to write a check for $250k that goes toward NIL. They had over 200 boosters write checks as of last week.
For the mathematically challenged, that is over $50,000,000.00
Let that sink in.

Many forget that NIL means that college athletes have the right to be employed solely because of who they are.
They can be influencers, advertisers, promoters or anything else. Many of us who have not experienced other places, do not recognize how LSU idolizes its winners. There are very few like us. The NIL opportunity for our athletes is tough to match.

Gonna get downvoted into oblivion but we are 1000% behind when it comes to NIL. Ole Miss is all of the sudden murdering recruitment. Kiffin got on his boosters arse to pony up more $$$ and it’s getting them the big time recruits. Hate to say it but I don’t see this happening with our football program anytime soon because our coach doesn’t believe in getting into bidding wars over players…

No

How many of us that are complaining about NIL have donated to our NIL fund?
Posted on 12/28/23 at 7:59 am to Alexdjafari
LSU trailed everyone in nil from the beginning. I think it’s a little about money and more about being late to the game in terms of how to use nil. Ole miss is straight destroying us right now!

LSU can be competitive with NIL offerings, but it has a really hard time closing with the current coach in place.
Posted on 12/28/23 at 12:14 pm to Alexdjafari
According to Mascona, no LSU cannot compete.

Good to know - can we swap defensive coordinators' with one of those states?
