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.
