I don't think the UA or UGA difference relates to money or NIL. Things are just different with UA and UGA than they ever have been.

In Saban and Smart they have two pyscho, insane 24/7 recruiters that can't be matched. And UGA already has an elite talent base. UGA and UA always had the potential, now they have the keys to the kingdom in Saban and Smart. AU could have the same insane recruiter, and they would always be slightly behind UGA because UGA has the better natural base of talent.

The allure of Kiffin was that maybe he had qb/play calling wizardry to compensate for the UA UGA recruiting advantage. (as well as supposed transfer portal mastery).

Just settle in and we can still beat UGA with our great homefield advantage, and the vacuum when Saban retires will be epic (when?). Assuming we bring in good talent and have good qb play. But UGA and UA (until Saban retires) aren't going anywhere. Hopefully Smart will get burned out.

I think NIL will move to a settled state where big boosters will compete for super stars. The average players and the general public's involvement in NIL will eventually be blah. Everyone is now just panicking or being hopeful.
