You’re missing the biggest component. It’s not about having the money, it’s about resetting the baseline of NIL pay for your entire team based off of a decent one year player. If you have a guaranteed SEC stud, sure pay him. If you are bringing in a depth piece who’s unproven you don’t pay him so much that it upsets the rest of the team. It’s not the cost of paying him 500k-1 mil, it’s the total cost of now upping the ante for all of your DL and the stars on the team in general.

Should a transfer DL be getting more than your QB or a player like Perkins?

Spot on.

In a vacuum, LSU can afford to give Williams his $1M+ NIL deal. What LSU can't afford is to do that and give Nuss, Campbell, Jones, Perkins, etc. etc. etc. $1M+ NIL commensurate with their production. If I am Perkins and I see Williams brought in at $1M+, you better believe I am telling the coaches I am worth $2M+

Again, it's not about the 1 player in a vacuum. It's about the 84 other players on the team.

Exactly, overpaying for NIL deals with players from the TP will create the domino effect with current loyal players who were signed out of HS.
It's definitely a players market when it comes to NIL. CFB programs either pay what a kid is demanding, or he moves on to the highest bidder.

Saban has always demanded respect from his players and had 100% control of the football program. He walked away from coaching because players now have zero loyalty, and they are asking coaches "how much are you gonna pay me ? "
