LSU will just have to rethink capital allocation. We aren’t as wealthy as Texas, USC, etc. But, we do have boosters will to invest in the program. Those dudes just need to start investing in our collective rather than in facilities, etc.

NIL is not investing in your program. It is more like pay light bill. Most of these players on NIL will not make much of a mark on the program and will cycle in and out of various programs. Paying a kid $50k that exits the team in one year is not an investment and it wont take long for the money men to feel the swindle.

Think of it this way... NIL is renting instead of buying.
