If you read the entire quote, he's equating "buying players" to simply throwing money at players to come to your school. Think Texas A&M in 2022 with their high school class or Ole Miss this year through the portal.
I disagree.
He was virtue signaling. He was trying to promote the idea that unlike those other evil programs, LSU doesn't pay money for their players. The players at LSU are all there because they love LSU.
And that's pure BS. LSU does pay players. Kelly was trying to promote a completely false narrative to try to excuse misses in the portal.
An accurate statement would have been: "Yeah, we didn't sign any portal DL. They wanted more than we were willing to give them."
He didn't say that though. He went with a holier-than-thou approach that was completely untrue. It's unsurprising that fans of other teams are calling him out on that.

Except he's literally spoke in favor of paying players before. He's even said he was in favor of exploring profit sharing.
