It has. But if Auburn can build a new facility, pay Freeze and Pearl. Buyout Gus and Harsin and have enough NiL for their 2 programs then we can’t scream poor.

The yellafella isn’t that much richer than the totality of our donors

Nil has taken over the facilities race.

This is why, IMHO, Cal felt he needed to move, Basketball doesn't bring in as much as football, but UK still get a large check from the SEC each year. But they do not have Bama & Texas type monies. UK was used to Cal brining in 5 of the top 10 but how? I think coach Cal (and the Kansas/UNC types) were buying players via giving money to AAU coaches who passed it on to the players, we all knew that was going on. Well, NIL killed that trick !!

So, Cal is like, I am only great when I can get all the best players, with the AAU hustle gone, Cal needs a rich sugar daddy, meet Tyson Foods in Arkansas, their owner will put up the money, coach Cal thinks he can then turn back the clock, hell maybe he can, but plyers may take less and stay closer to home as long as they are getting bank.

This NIL is going to eventually create bidding wars and destroy both CFB and CBB.

As per Hurley, he has yet to play a 1 or 2 seed in those 10 plus games, thats freak luck.
