It’s time for us to realize this. NIL and the transfer portal has taken away the passion that players like tyran mathieu and many other players used to play with. There is no more sit and work hard to earn the starting spot anymore. It’s all about money and if you’re not starting you transfer your arse out.

I’m genuinely curious if some of you think this is unique to LSU.

My question is how did Ole Miss pay all that NIL money for players and we can’t.

NIL has changed the game. You will never see a 2019 team like LSU’s in a very long time

Woody likes Bud Lite and drives a Jaguar. Read between those lines (examples)

LSU will still have there years every now and then but he’s right. Bigger schools will take over. LSU will fall behind. The big money schools Oregon Ohio state Michigan USC if they get there shite together, and Texas. Texas A&M will even be a player but the sec will even feel the impact.

College football is now just a shell of what it was five short years ago. After being a passionate fan for 50 years I am now almost completely disinterested in it. It was the last bastion of authentic American culture not ruined by corporate greed. Not anymore.

What? Because we’re on an LSU message board?

If you really sit down and think about it was lsu ever really an ELITE program yeah got four national championships but that’s nothing compared to Georgia or Alabama
Lsu got lucky and had lightning in a bottle in 2019 and anyone with half a pulse could have lead that team to a national championship
Lsu never was a powerhouse in football compared to other teams and now with nil probably never will be money isn’t there and never will be

Even worse, the guys that we Dao recruit for a year, DO train, bulk up in our weight program will portal out before their junior year for a $25k NIL raise and guaranteed starting position to play at Miss State or something.

Ole Miss casts a wider net for middle wealth donors as opposed to relying on a few gazillionaires

LSU is starting to do that too.

OP said LSU isn't elite anymore, with the reasons being anything you can say about college football in general, not just LSU.

That was hard to understand?

“America was never great”
“Star Wars always sucked”
“LSU was never elite”

This is canned copetard language

Just because Kelly and the contract?

I don't think lsu is going to get some magic ad to come in here. They all eventually miss on coaches.

Afraid this is true. Team looks like crap in all phases.
