re: "LSU can't compete with _______ in NIL" is a false narrative.

1 and 2 go together as #1. You can get an upset win here and there with 3-5, but you can't make the playoffs and definitely not win it all with out #1. No team has won it all without having the best players.

That is true. So if we are all honest, we don't know how LSU will compete in what will become this Super league which will look like the NFL. NFL has its Packers, Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers, i.e. teams that have consistently won. MLB has the Yankees, Dodgers, RedSox, etc, etc.

NFL also has the Chargers, Detroit Lions, Falcons, Vikings, etc.

LSU in this new league, like pretty much lets say 32 of 40 might be all like the Falcons, Vikings, etc. USC, Texas, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Notre Dame in the Big10, UGA might be the Packers, Steelers, etc. Alabama with Saban will be fine. But post Saban, Alabama the School nor the State has the money to compete with USC, Ohio State, UT, Texas A&M, Notre Dame or even UGA being in Georgia (18 Fortune 500 Companies). Yes while Fortune 500 companies can't use corporate assets to fund NIL, the employees of those Companies most certainly can.

So unless there is a structure put in place like the NFL with regulations of the Transfer Portal (which is Free Agency), a salary cap for what you can pay your 85 man roster, I can see this Super League having teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, Packers, Patriots in NFL or Yankees, Dodgers, Redsox, Cubs in MLB and a bunch of other teams that in a given year can win it all, but have the ability to win free agency (transfer portal) because of deeper pockets.
