Do you think we have enough NIL money to be aggressive and top tier in all 3 sports?

I think we have enough to be elite in football and we certainly have enough to be elite in baseball based on how dominant this offseason we were.
But its clear the same aggressiveness, same ability to lure top recruits is lacking in basketball compared to the other two.
The question is would you be willing to drop a little NIL power in football and/or baseball to be a consistent tournament team? Because it may take that.
Or are you content to be a tournament team every 5 years or so on average and keep the status quo with football and baseball?
Me personally, I want to be dominant in football and baseball and if that means we are "ok" in basketball, so be it.
What are your thoughts?

All I really care about is football. Doing well in baseball or other sports is nice but it’s not nearly the same as football.
And no I don’t think we have enough NIL/booster support for all three. I’m surprised we recruit in baseball as well as we do. I’m also surprised at women’s basket ball recruiting. I guess that’s more about Kim Mulkey.

From talking to people that know (kids being recruited), there are only a handful of schools (LSU, A&M, Texas) really in the NIL game in baseball. Baseball won’t be a big hit on the NIL budget if you will.

I’d much prefer to be relevant in hoops than baseball.

Basketball is probably WAY more expensive to bring in top talent.

Most baseball programs don't make money for the university. It's likely hard to justify NIL being put toward those money losing programs unless there is a booster than just has a hard-on for baseball. I would guess the increase in fan support for a successful baseball program still would not result in a financial gain in most places. LSU is an exceptation.
Baseball is also competing against MLB directly for players. That's a tough ask when most NIL is going to football at every college.

Baseball and Football we certainly do and will.
Basketball I’m not sure what it takes to be quite honest. I don’t think the money will be the reason LSU isn’t a competitive team though.

Were we aggressive before? Your answer is NO.

I think we're good in women's gymnastics. (Hint: be specific with your subject)

Pro basketball is on the way out.
College basketball will soon follow.
Let's devote our resources to Football and Baseball

Just watch. NIL is fixing to change. Let the right one complain about not being able to compete. Change is coming. The money is getting out of hand. When it becomes the "Have and Have nots" it will change...

Having Marruci is like an REC on Steroids. I’d imagine T
they’re signing these stud Baseball kids to long-term deals banking on them being high draft picks. When they make the show they’re swinging marruci.

The schools do not put up any NIL money.
The money comes from businesses and boosters who want to help the school’s sports programs.
If a booster/business wants to help a spurt tgry live then they will help with the NIL in that.

Our NIL budget is directly proportional to the price of a box combo and Cane’s is expanding, baw.
