Lol. Again, BK is setting a precedent with not over paying for an ok portal transfer player and having his team wonder why they aren't getting the same......BK will only pay if MUST needed. This is LSU, we don't have to spend $1.5mil on a decent TCU DL lol
I don't get this portrayal of Brian Kelly as the fricking Spartans at the gates of Thermopylae with Dominic Williams and NIL. This isn't a precedent. There are plenty of players that have asked for money from a team and been told to kick rocks. Kelly is not some trailblazing pioneer on this.
LSU has a budget. Kelly didn't see the value with Williams. Is there anything more to it than that? It isn't like the entire team (like all competitive programs) doesn't have some form of NIL so it isn't like having his players paid is a line he won't cross. If some player was worth 1.5 million and Kelly saw the value, he would push for the guy to get a deal. He'd be dumb not to.
Kelly is managing his budget the way he thinks is best. Some programs are good at it. Some suck. That is about it.

This board melted down over his recent comments for several days, they definitely behaved as if this was something they've never seen before.

This. It boils down to ROI. Williams and Barrow were not a good ROI for the money. People tend to view NIL as a blanket price. Its not. Some guys as for the moon cuz teams are desperate for DL. Thats why they waited til spring, to elevated their value to teams. LSU just thought that the price wouldn't be a significant enough bump in production.
