He has no blame at all imo. You can't expect Napier to have a top 3 second class like some former coaches with NIL controlling things with the real top recruits now. We probably fall in the lower part of the top 10 with that I would guess so you have to pick and choose wisely. If this was the 80s we would be top 5 in NIL but we don't have as many rich boosters willing to do what it takes compared to some other schools now. Many aren't huge football fans anymore.

i'm gonna copy/paste this post from 247:
I've seen a few folks mention that they think "UF is poor" which is why we're losing NIL.
UF isn't poor. We have arguably a Top 3 program in terms of Booster donations. And we've got a Top 8 program in overall Athletic Dept revenue. UF should be thriving in the NIL era.

Below are two charts that look at the Top 15 programs in 2020 Booster Contributions
First viz shows Booster Donation in time. We can see that since 2005, UF has been a consistent top program in Booster Donations to UF Athletics.
This second graph shows a Box and Whisker plot of where UF's Boosters annual giving has ranked. In 2020, we were #3 in the nation in Booster Donations. In term of consistent high level giving, Texas is really the only program comparable to UF.
Now, not all programs generate their revenue through Booster donations. Programs like Alabama tend to fund their Athletic Departments through Booster Money funneled through Endowment programs. This type of funding will be harder to redirect in the NIL-era. Nevertheless, it's still important to look at Total Athletic Dept revenue, and not just Booster donations to get an idea of how UF stacks up compared to other programs financially.
Looking at total Athletic Dept revenue, we can see that UF is consistently near the top and is probably a Top 8 program in overall finances.
I won't speculate on what's wrong with UF's recruiting. But I can say that:
-The problem is NOT that UF doesn't have a wealthy booster base
-The problem is NOT that the boosters aren't generous towards UF athletics
-The problem is NOT that our Athletic Dept is poor

Some UF fans seem to think the Gators won't survive the NIL era because UF isn't as rich as other programs. Here is why that is wrong
TLDR:
??UF is easily Top 5 in Booster $$$
??UF Top 8 in Ath Dept Revenue
??$$$ shouldn't be an issue for UF NIL
??Boosters must get organized

I'm not blaming Napier. But there are some clear issues that need to be worked through somewhere in the system.
If the problem isn't addressed ASAP, it might end poorly for Napier.
