I don't get this portrayal of Brian Kelly as the fricking Spartans at the gates of Thermopylae with Dominic Williams and NIL. This isn't a precedent. There are plenty of players that have asked for money from a team and been told to kick rocks. Kelly is not some trailblazing pioneer on this.

This. It boils down to ROI. Williams and Barrow were not a good ROI for the money. People tend to view NIL as a blanket price. Its not. Some guys as for the moon cuz teams are desperate for DL. Thats why they waited til spring, to elevated their value to teams. LSU just thought that the price wouldn't be a significant enough bump in production.
