Common mistake of thinking NIL is the only thing recruits are looking for. The really intelligent ones don't go for bags that will be spent on stupid shite within a few months...they're looking to set themselves up for the rest of their life.
I mean sure some random billionaire could try to shake things up by attaching themselves to some team nobody expects like Iowa State, Rutgers or something like that and bring in some players of the caliber they've never had before, but that would be a one season flash in the pan type thing and it may not even work out like most people expect it would.

Everything starts with the money. After that it’s playing time, program quality/media, and facilities. Take a survey.

Yes, and all the normal media proclaiming Gene and Gus were going to run Saban out of Tuscaloosa. Now the soon for Pastor Hugh is starting. Lol. Next year another 6-6 season, just check the schedule.

No. I meant to say it exactly the way it was said.

1957: Auburn wins on probation
You'd think the NCAA would want to wipe Auburn's 1957 national championship from existence, but it's there on the organization's official website for all to see. Never mind that the Tigers were on probation at the time -- banned from postseason play because of a pay-for-play scandal and therefor ineligible for the UPI poll. But because the AP was under no such restriction, the title somehow stands.
And it's due in no small part to a publicity campaign. According to a story from AL.com, when Auburn beat Alabama 40-0 to finish the season 10-0, sports information director Bill Beckwith got to work securing enough votes from AP writers to earn the top spot. Buddy Davidson, a student manager on that team, told the newspaper years later, "It wasn't really a controversy as far as anybody here was concerned."
