NIL money being pulled, or adjusted? Is playing time the scapegoat?

4 and 5 stars in 2nd year being re-evaluated. I am sure you have a few exceptions like Heard, but I just don’t see that many.

Cutting the “dead” money for future potentials?

I don't fully understand. Are you saying you have heard of this happening or are you suggesting that its a good idea to pull money from existing players to give to new players?

The reason I would say the latter is a bad idea is that word will spread and recruits will know that if you go to LSU and don't start right away then they will pull your money. This would lead to more transfers. I think the key is to not break the bank for any (many) recruit(s) and show them the earning potential of a starter.

Obviously you have to play the game a bit for a Perkins or Will Campbell or Dominic McKinley but for most prospects you should be able to offer them a smaller amount as a recruit with the promise of a pay day when you earn more playing time.

I don’t think it’s the schools adjusting. I think the players are sending out feelers. And when Ole Miss is offering $250k to LSU’s $249k, they out. Playing time is the excuse.
