If our NIL is even close to that low, you can stick a fork in the program. No coach worth anything is going to try to compete with the other programs on that list.
I switched the list over to basketball and I'm getting "*chuckles* I'm in danger" spidey senses. If its even remotely accurate, that's not good for the future of that program as well.
ETA: That On3 list is doo-doo. Here is how they get their numbers:
"On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s Brand Value and Roster Value by using data points targeting three primary categories — performance, influence and exposure."
Mostly meaningless, however, I've heard from multiple people associated with the program that NIL is problematic and is going to be problematic unless something changes. I've said before, its not just the big fish like the Hunts, its about having a lot of smaller fish, like LSU has with Todd Graves (Raisin Canes founder) just a single example of many die-hard LSU boosters that we don't have.

I think you’re correct that we have less of the “Raisin Canes” level folks but how did we end up with such nice facilities for every men’s sport, ridiculously stupid buyouts, paying an idiot 6mil a year to end up seeing our team watching Polar Express during halftime of a home game blowout loss? We have bad culture and bad leadership and decision-making. The money is there to compete. No it’s not $76mil buyout level, but it’s a lot more than fricking Ole Miss and programs like that. We have a bunch of wealthy idiots in a “too many cooks in the kitchen” situation with football. Probably never going to change other than the money will not come in like it used to since we perennially suck. Don’t even get me started on how cheap we’ve been with basketball and baseball. Great, winning approach. #Integrity. We’ve fully succumbed to our self-created curse of being losers.
