Brian Kelly Shares How Much Money LSU Spent On Its Roster This Season

No doubt. Really getting harder to care.

That's a crying Shame! But this is what college football has become. But "Geaux Tigers"!

I do prefer the game the way it was 10+ years ago; however, I'm not going to argue against the players wanting a piece of the monetary pie when the NCAA was raking in billions in revenue. And let's be honest, this was going on well before NIL. The players just couldn't be as brazen about it since it was "against the rules", so now it's visible.

Bingo. In the early 2000's Bama got 26 schollies, 2 year postseason ban for a player getting a ride to purchase a 2000 dollar vehicle, a booster being the Nashville hotel room with a prospect parents and the alledged 100K to Albert Means coach that they never found and he ended up in prison for extortion. That 100k wouldnt buy a backup kicker today and the NCAA took away our ability to compete from 2003-2007. It's crazy to look at then and now. The NCAA just stick to everything non football. Don't even get me started on the portal.

It’s not NIL - it’s “pay to play”

Clemson spent money too.

A Clemson win would be fun…but a high-caliber SEC win is more important.

Clemson is presently ranked above any of LSU's competition in the SEC. I tend to differ with you. Put the nation on notice from the beginning (and keep improving from there) and you never have to "claw back" into the playoff discussion.
