confused. Do we not have a solid NIL? These players coming to play in Columbia for free?

I will give the 411 on our NIL that came from the horses mouth. We are improving our NIL but Beamers prefers using NIL ( the big contracts) on current Gamecock players and not new recruits. It's going to cost us with some blue chip recruits that are chasing the dollar. Shane absolutely does not believe in getting into bidding wars for recruits and it honestly turns him away from that recruit. I 100% agree with Beamer. This is one way he has kept the locker room together and it gives incentive to our current players to get better. June/July saw us lose out on a few guys because of this but Beamer is not going to change nor do I think he should.
