There were even fancy Twitter videos. I assumed we were out in front of this thing and making our mark. I didn’t really pay attention honestly. I heard our kicker had a deal with macaroni and cheese so it had to be going good with that stuff. The fricking kicker.

What’s the real deal here? Kids are leaving because if it, so obviously we aren’t doing something.

It's very simple.

LSU is/was allowing organic marketing to occur. If a local company wants to land an advertisement with a player, then it happens.

Stingley got one, Brian thomas jr, the kicker, maybe a few others.

None of these were really big money deals. Just local companies for the most part wanting to make a cheap splash.

**Important to note.** Other colleges are using this as pay for play, and why not?

basically, TAF should have a NIL budget of multiple millions per year, maybe even pushing 8 figures.

You take this budget and pay off stud players to not transfer, go to draft, etc.

You also take this budget and go land 5 stars.

Anything else is falling behind the times, period.

Dumbass it’s actually the opposite. LSU is debatably doing it better than any other school in the country right now especially partnering with local business’s.

Myles Brennan got a $100k+ truck to not play.

Pretty good deal if you ask me.

LSU was out in front as far as comprehending the rules and pushing that info out.

LSU is massively behind in NIL deals for our players from local businesses.

Orgeron knew this, and spoke up about it in his preseason Rotary Club speech. He just lacked the ability to do anything about it.

I don’t know that kids are transferring out.

I’ve always wondered how LSU and other small market teams will compete with the larger markets on this NIL landscape

Personally , I think the rule was put in place to destroy the SEC

Not one player has stated they were leaving because of nil. You proliferating unsubstantiated rumors started by people with no knowledge of the inner workings of the football program.

Some of these people need a job or a hobby or just a life in general

I’m surprised Gerry Lane, Levis Mitsubishi and Brian Harris Autoplex aren’t throwing money at LSU players.

Could this potentially sink LSU into mediocrity?
Baton Rouge is a small market and I’d imagine the athletic department doesn’t have as many big time donors like some of the other programs.

I could be way off base but just a thought.

Obviously Lsu, was hoping the deals happen organically with local companies. They were ahead of that situation but the game changed.

I contend if the deal is organically made, say between a car dealership and a player, that the deals will be small.

On the other hand, Texas, Bama, and aTm are currently changing the game with big money offers. That many five stars aren't picking aTm without big money.

For a smaller market team like LSU to keep up they are going to need a group of business men to come together and model the funds the other schools are doing. LSU is going to have to pool funds together in order to keep up with the biggest money spenders.

TAF should be in a good position to start a non profit that guarantees payment like Texas is doing.
