the Chest thing is just the start.every single player is going to expect to get more money, did the AD not realize how this was going to go? You went very public saying you are bringing in more NIL money to pay the MBB team, well the returners are going to want more too. I know I would. Now they know you have more to pay out, id expect my portion to increase as well.

Honestly except for the 2 millers, they can all go and pay better players.

Be interesting if more than one player has the same agent.

They can ask for anything they would like to ask for. If someone better comes along that will work for what we want to pay, they are free to leave. If we have no one better we’ll have to pay if we can afford it.

That is the way the world now works in college atheletics. Produce or be replaced.

No shite. AD knows it too Captain Obvious.

The increase is on the team’s budget. Maybe some returning players are worth it, maybe not. If they are not worth it, let the players find out if somebody else thinks they are.

I see you mediocrity lovers are already building the foundation for ‘year 0 2.0’ next year because the team will be all new players.

But the AD unintentionally took away any denying that they don’t have additional funds after purposely leaking we’re adding NIL dollars as a last ditch effort to save coach’s job.

How is that? He’s not going anywhere what would you rather suck till he’s gone or hope we can put a team together that can compete and win? Actively root for them to lose? Sorry but I enjoy going to games and my daughter loves it. I’d like them to win one every once in awhile.

Nah.

We will either spend the money wisely or we won’t.

The assumption that players would have taken less than what they would have been offered elsewhere if a commitment to NIL wasn’t made openly is a false premise.

Would let them all walk. Not like McMahon is going to do anything with them. We could throw a rec team out there to still miss the tournament

No. They are going are going to leave and LSU is going to pay for better players.

The current players on the terrible team were not all here because they were taking below their market NIL value….

Regardless of who stays/goes, we’re going to spend a few million dollars more than we did this year and end up with a few more sec wins. At best, we end up middle of the pack in the sec next year.
