That wasn't the wisest choice of words.
It wasn't and it shows Brian Kelly isn't ready to manage an NIL roster.
Actually, it's the EXACT OPPOSITE. (you must be a democRAT.)
I believe BK went on to clarify that he has two OT's that have been starting and working their arse off since they were TRUE FRESHMEN and the implication was that paying top dollar to a portal mercenary might not be the best for team chemistry. He said that NIL is part of the program. All starters have NIL deals that they have earned and are making extra cash but it will not be used as an open slush fund to win bidding wars on portal players. Those coaches that don't see the distinction will have the most volatile rosters with the least team chemistry. (see A&M)

Child, please.
You aren't bringing in a starter thru the portal without opening the slush fund.
Hell... you probably broke the slush fund wide open to retain those tackles.

College football is now going into its 4th year of NIL. What was once a 2 million dollar collective is around 10 million this season and rising. What coaches say and what they do is getting very problematic. Kelly wants to sound like he's drawing lines in the NIL sand. I'll believe it when I see it.
