It’s all speculation. Outside of Kentucky, I would speculate that the more a school wins, the easier it is to raise money. Looks at the programs who have been winning more recently, and you’ll probably find their NIL budgets are higher. Bama, Tennessee, auburn, Arkansas and Kentucky probably lead the conference.

Anyone have access to the NIL budgets of all the SEC schools


No.

Maybe the IRS.

You know how you get more NIL? Have a marketer as a head coach.

Geez, I wonder who that could be? Sure as hell isn’t boring CMM.

Aub, Tenn, Bama, Fla, and practically everyone else in the league ranked in top 20. LSU battling for dead last in the conference next week. That’s all the chart you need!!

so how do we actually "know" where we stand compared to the rest of the SEC teams...........


People who try to pretend they do are simply choosing to believe whatever number they desire and using it to push their narrative.

Mascona said we are second to last in nil basketball money on radio yesterday. He also said we are behind the uppers by a lot.

And he doesn’t know shite. Half the things he says about LSU MBB can be factually disproven with 2 minute Google searches.

The NIL numbers are all guesses. I guess $4 million, I just made it up, but I’ll repeat it over and over and I guarantee people will start believing it.

Isn’t this a “Supply and Demand” situation?

If the top players aren’t interested, LSU would only pay the market value for those who are. Our Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals reflect more than just potential budget constraints.

And this is the story of how 99% of rant narratives are born.

That chart is bullshite. The figures did not come from NCAA estimates and people who say otherwise should not be taken seriously. It came from some nerd who registered “NIL-NCAA.com” and used a shite ton of questionable assumptions to come up with an idea of what booster NIL support might look like at various schools.

The fact that it’s still getting sourced as “NCAA estimates” (and by actual sports media folks, not just random Twitter users) is pretty sad to be honest.

As others have stated, there is no publicly available information on actual NIL funding per school. As of now, every source of NIL funding estimates is based on a whole bunch of other financial indicators (of varying validity), none of which are actually tied directly to NIL funding or spending.

I can tell you on very good authority from people very close to the program we are 2nd to last. And part of that is because the HC is not going out raising that money like some other hungry coaches are capable of doing.

It takes two to get the funds

How does LSU know the exact amount of CBB NIL money from the other 15 SEC programs?

Adding to the NIL budget will not hurt, but is not necessarily going to ultimately fix a sinking program with a coach in over his head.


Was he in over his head last season when he finished in the top half of the league?

8th out of 14 teams is not top half of the league.

Official standings from SEC Sports

No, you’re wrong. We had the same 9-9 record as TAMU, but we officially finished 8th in the SEC and subsequently were the 8th seed in the SECT.

Your pretzel twisting to fit your narrative is extremely transparent.

Thats only for seeding . If the top two teams tie they are co-champions. Same down the line.

Lol.

The official SEC standings are wrong and your dumbass is right because you soooooooo want to say CoachMc finished in the top half of the SEC. The absolute delusion is truly astounding.

Wearing your hat on a 9-9 season, trying to twist it as much as you can, meanwhile he’s 3-25 in his other 28 SEC games. Some of you dudes never left The Twilight Zone.
