Kelly had to say that because moronic LSU fans decided he wasn’t trying hard enough to get these mediocre DTs that were asking ridiculous amounts of money.
Fans are to blame for this more than anyone. They think coaches can just carte Blanche buy players but that is not how NIL works and LSU is still on shaky ground because of the previous stupidity with the violations.
These kids are pathetic to an extent and they have options if they just want to make money. Go to the freaking XFL, go to the DLeague, go to the minors.
They are part of the ruining of not just college football but all college athletics.
I would rather the NFL pay for its own damn minor league than put it on college sports. But idiot fans want to take the side of spoiled athletes getting $200,000+ scholarships while other kids are having to go into major debt to get an education. Cry me a river.

Yall love capitalism until it works against you. You got all these schools trying their damndest to switch conferences destroying decades long rivalries, for millions. You got tv deals in the billions. You got all this insane money circulating through coaches hands (a 100 freaking million dollars), yet you're mad at kids who are actually putting their bodies out their for what amounts to a couple 6 figure years at a sorta high paying job? Get the frick right out of here. A lot of those other kids you speak of have parents who are paying to send their kids there. Those kids aren't paying their way. And sure, you have a lot of kids on student loans, but are they providing millions a year in payouts to their university? Hell to the frick no! I can assure you there are not 20 kids on any roster making an excess of 6 figures, and if they are, that deal is not a one year deal.
I don't think average kids should get 7 figure NIL deals, but if you're elite, then hell yes. If the top best DT in the country wanted to go to LSU, you pay the 1.2 mill. These average kids aren't worth it though.
