For MM and the LSU program, it's about NIL. You will have to buy the really good players because LSU isn't the elite school in MBB and doesn't have a legend for a coach like Mulkey to lure players to LSU, so the elite talent will go to Duke, Kansas and NC most years. Let's face it, what makes you think a Naz Reid, Cam Thomas or Devonte Smart wants to play for WW and LSU over the other programs I mentioned? He bought them, the same thing will have to happen now.

That’s true now for just about EVERY Collegiate Program, regardless of that schools basketball pedigree.

You think the Top rated 5* Kids that sign with Duke, UCLA, UNC, Kansas or ANY OTHER Blue Blood Program does so bc they just LOVE that school & head coach so much?

CBB was corrupt even prior to the rise of AAU Teams & the influx of HUNDRED$ of MILLION$ from the Shoe companies. It always seemed to favor the Blue Bloods because those Programs & Boosters prioritized ($$) their Basketball programs more so than non-Football related spending (Baseball, T&F, Tennis, WBB, Softball etc.)
