re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting

I’ve read the exact same

it is disingenuous to take Kelly’s words here and twist them

He clearly states LSU has NIL opportunities. What he is not willing to do is get into a bidding war for a portal player that is purely approaching his visit from a monetary standpoint.

It's about overall value, not just the money. Every program has things to offer, and money is part of it.

If some kid wants to go to App St and give up all the other value for a large paycheck, then it's probably a good thing if that kid goes to App St. It acts as a filter for the kind of guy you likely don't want.

However, when you are talking about recruiting against programs like Oklahoma, then the value outside the money is not that different. At that point, you just got outbid.
