Yeap, they have a ton of suckers. What people do with their money is their business, I think it’s dumb to pay someone else’s employees and reap 0 monetary benefit.

The website does stink. I had to click on Natty (terrible name) to find out there were other levels.

All LSU fans should be getting bombarded with “Help LSU football compete…click Link here to contribute to our NIL cause” through email, through calls, through social media, through mail. LSU could probably raise $10mil+ in a month if there was a huge marketing push.
As y’all know, NONE OF US are getting that email, or call, or mailer, or text message. I’m getting Applebees date night gift card messages all night, I haven’t heard anything from LSU’s NIL collective.
And when we do get linked to our NIL collective, it’s through a message board or a friend’s text message…and we’re getting linked to an awkward website. That’s not gonna work long-term.
We need to spend some money to get our message out there. It takes more than a website and word of mouth
I know for a fact that a lot of people that regularly give Monthly to TAF aren’t aware that’s different than NIL. Normal regular people don’t live and breathe CFB and Tigerdroppings for a living like some of us in here and they don’t understand the intricacies and differences.
The message needs to be “if you want LSU to win in 2024, this is how you can help make that happen…click here”
We’ll be fine as a program for sure I have no doubt, but whoever is running our NIL collective isn’t doing what needs to be done marketing-wise. Hell I’m willing to do it and get in people’s faces for free, but I haven’t been asked.
We should be getting emails right now that say…. “We need a CB and a DT….. you as an LSU fan can help us make that happen, click here”

Last year, they plucked a stud QB from Okie light off a 10 win team with Ollie fricking Gordon in the backfield, just because they could. The dude rotted on the bench this year behind Dart and probably won’t get drafted.
The money must have been really good.

Most of the ones complaining about our lack of NIL aren’t donating to our collective

Why are so many people scared of ole Miss?
They will screw this up. I’m of the opinion that programs who have never won a title in the BCS or 4 team CFP era will never win one in the 12 team era.
They just won’t do it. It’ll all come crashing down just wait and see.

Yall do understand that many teams LSU included are still doing things under the table?
Help LSU compete? They just won 10 games back to back, heisman and played for the SEC championship. We don’t need to beg our fans to be elite. Yall got to quit panicking and trust BK. He’s got it figured out.
Look at the coaching hires he made. Literally every guy we wanted we got. LSU isn’t a poverty program like ole Miss.
yall need to be comparing LSU to Georgia, Michigan, Florida State and Ohio State. Not programs like ole Miss who are the flavor of the week.

You’re way off base there. LSU is on par with Georgia more than Ole Miss is on par with Georgia or LSU. Have you not seen ole miss’s facilities? Their stadium looks like vandy’s.
Don’t see a massive difference here
Here’s ole Miss
You know damn well I don’t need to provide pics of LSU and Georgia’s stadiums vs ole miss

Do you people realize that when you bring in an unproven backup from another team and pay him more than your current starters….what that will do to the team? You either give every single player a raise, or you are Tamu.
When have you seen an NFL team go pull a back up from another team and pay him more than the current all-pro starters? That’s what we are dealing with now and BK says it’s not happening at LSU.
Think about how a 3rd string QB makes more than your starter….in fact he makes more money than Brock Purdy who has a chance to win a Super Bowl this year. This is not sustainable, and tamu will not be the last team to self implode because of it.

That would be Matt Bowers. He bought my house years ago and that is all he spewed about was Ole Miss. I think he played baseball there too.

Anyone who knows ball knows that ole Miss has been in this spot before where they look good on paper and are a preseason darling only to fail.
Actually LSU has been the reason they fail more often than not. Why do you think they hate LSU so much? There’s a long history there.

I have been in all of those, that top Georgia picture is in the stadium. Their operations building kicks our square in the dick.
Florida’s new Ops building is very nice as well. Ole Miss’ is new, but not anywhere near ours.

Because a good portion of this fanbase has permanent catastrophe syndrome. Saban has us pegged from the very beginning when he got here.

Simple, they are putting all of their $$ into the portal. Look at their High School Recruiting numbers. Pretty Weak.

Hopefully some legislation will be brought forward in the near future to put at least some type of regulations. It's destroying the game we all love. When college players are making more money than mid round NFL players, something is wrong. I could agree to payment to players as long as it was a tier system where every player got the same amount no matter the talent. Money would change based on years of employment like the rest of the world.
