Advocate article on Collective

10 mill is median in SEC apparently so we are not even average in our own conference. I don’t like what NIL has become. It is pay for play now. You gotta pay up to win.

Our recruiting looks incredible right now but it appears you will have to pay up to keep all those players every year. Not gonna win consistently without spending big, that’s just the way it is. Hopefully we can continue to grow our collective and don’t shy away from spending since that’s the name of the game now.

Asking your average fan to pony up cash for players is never, ever going to catch on. This model is in no way sustainable and needs to be adjusted asap.

Fans will buy tickets to games, memorabilia, gear etc.

The schools need to figure out the roster funds.
