I don’t care to argue about vapid bullshite like money (something southerners adore doing) , but I won’t hesitate to chime in when the biggest try hards in the country ramble on and on about wealth.
Literally no one:
Ole miss fans: we’re soooo rich
it’s fricking weird and a fun reminder that they’re just as much nobodies as the schools they try and look down on

An old historic university such as Ole Miss, with all its famous and rich alumni should not be ranked 2nd or 3rd from the last in school endowments in the SEC.
But why? What are you basing this on?
As a school we only can do so much beyond the borders of the state we are located in, which has been the most stagnant in the south in terms of growth. Given Mississippi and it’s trajectory over the decades, why would Ole Miss be anywhere else in the pecking order than where we are?
quote:
Ole Miss students and alumni won’t even go to a home game when they have a ranked undefeated team. Aggies, LSU, and other SEC teams can mostly fill a stadium no matter who they play or their rankings.
You make statements like this but do you have any grasp of the relative size of our alumni and fan base in comparison to those schools?

Oh god here comes another ole miss fan pretending to be exceptionally wealthy compared to lsu
Listen dick breath LSU should be embarrassed with the amount of alumni and only having a $700 million endowment
LSU and MSU are sitting at the bottom of the SEC W with money.
If facts hurt your feelings, sorry.
LSU is broke link

There's literally statements going around that Kiffin leaves Ole Miss for money. The statement was relevant.

David Nutt also owns the Canadian River cattle ranch in Texas. It's only about 71,000 acres.

950 Million.
Ole Miss has the Duff Brothers- Networth $4 billion dollars. Jim Barksdale is worth $750 million.
Leslie Lampton is worth $2.4 billion dollars.
I'd love to have that kind of money, but thats not REAL money. look at texas schools as an example of REAL money.

Well sir, in response:
Ole Miss, is the 144 year old flagship university of the State. It was pointed out in the original post that OM has lots of potential big money donors, famous and rich alumni. Ole Miss promotes itself as a somehow upper class refined student body with their obsessive fraternity/sorority culture. So being at the bottom tiers of the SEC endowments supporting your school should be an embarrassment. As was pointed out, you to have the alumni to make a difference. I looked it up. Billionaire Lampton is so proud of his 5.4 million donation to ole Miss. That probably wouldn’t get him in the top 200 at A&M I’m the last five years. That’s saying a degree from OM won’t get you out of poverty. The historic poverty of the state of Mississippi isn’t related to the lack of support the alumni give their alma mater.
Your own coach called you out for your lack of support and attendance. Said it looked like a high school game in a college stadium. You have a 64,000 cap stadium and a high school game size crowd stayed around to watch their undefeated ranked team? That’s a fan base problem, an embarrassment.
54 years ago A&M was a small all military school, LSU, Ole Miss, and the other SEC schools were all pretty much the same size. The fact is historically OM alumni haven’t supported their school. And you made my point for me, which is a better NIL market for a recruit?
Fortunately you’re not an LSU SEC embarrassment. A school with large rabid fan base, in a state with a lot of oil and gas, and other resources, that donates almost nothing to support their school resulting in a pitiful endowment.

I know they do personally. A good friend of mine flys on his gulf stream to every single game and contributes greatly to the university.

Every school has wealthy alumni. I’ve found through work that one of the richest Louisianaianas is a Centenary alum and Centenary donor.
In the grand scheme of things, Ole Miss doesn’t have a lot of loot. You know who does? Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Washington, Virginia, and so on …

Unlike some schools like LSU where they'd let the actually college crumble to fund football, a lot of that money goes to the education side.
The resulting aren’t showing, apparently.

I don’t see why anything you said changes anything about what I said. However if you want to repeatedly bring up A&M, I’m assuming you are a fan of them. So why, with all those advantages A&M has skillfully built for themselves do they continue to suck?

It's funny, all the NIL talk and I take a look at the recruiting rankings and...........they look just about exactly the same as they did from 2018-2020.
Yeah, it's not the gamechanger some people thought it was.
The same teams that always dominated will continue to do so.

The problem is Ole Miss alumni haven’t really supported the school.
It’s true. Outside of the local, Mississippi residents, everyone I know or have met from Ole Miss is from Memphis, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, etc.
Excluding the Memphis folks, they, typically, couldn’t get into Texas, Georgia, or they wanted a change of scenery (didn’t want to go to LSU or the comparable state school in their backyard). Yet, on game day, they are more in tuned to those teams they grew up rooting for (Texas, Georgia, LSU, etc.)

A major key in the "wealthy alumni" world isn't just the top dogs in the "frick you" tax brackets...
They might be fervent donors, but that well can dry up real fast if they feel their donation isn't netting the program any ROI.
It's all about the everyman alumni and what they're able to give on a year-in and year-out basis. So you need a combo of a LARGE alumni base and sidewalk base, mixed with the right ratio of wealthy to upper middle class spread amongst those donor groups.

Ole Miss & Miss State have produced very rich alum, but the fact is, it's not as level as some think. While Ole Miss has produced writers, CEO's or RealTree camo etc,
& Miss State has produced Mossy Oak, numerous CEO's of big companies along with Ole Miss, we don't produce the numbers individually like a big school such as Alabama or an LSU etc.
Alabama alone nearly doubles enrollment than that of Ole Miss or MSU.
Mississippi is the smallest state in population in the SEC, yet we have more colleges per capita than any state. That's just one eating the other. If Ole Miss and MSU were a combined college instead of recruiting against each other, we might be someone nobody really wanted to face on their schedule.
For every rich Alum Miss State or Ole Miss has, bigger schools can more than double that just based on the numbers. It is what it is but we both gonna fight hard
