are they in Bama LSU Auburn territory or more in Arkansas South Carolina Kentucky territory?


Arkansas and Kentucky have more money than LSU. They just don't spend much of it on football.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford to keep up.

Gets it.

Opportunity is knocking at Ole Miss’s door. Lane is answering it. With a bag full of cash in hand.

15-20 million a year can fund a very competitive NIL collective. Every SEC program has 15-20 people up in the skyboxes who can give a million a year if they feel like they have the right coach and AD who won’t waste it. College boosters are like a very small scale version of NFL ownership for those who can’t afford it. Right now Ole Miss boosters are motivated with a feeling that all the right pieces are in place. Florida is the opposite of that.

OM has a cluster of big money that are committed, OM has also done a great job of building the collective. $21-$50 a month donations from the masses. Last I heard there’s around $12,000,000 coming in a year before the big money donates.

Every SEC school has tons of money and rich alumni. It's just a play on how to spend it. I don't think, in actuality that LSU, Alabama, and Auburn have access to more money than South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas


Not true. There's a lot of empirical evidence. Alabama, Auburn and LSU have more money than South Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas.

It takes one rich billionaire. Auburn has Yellowman and Harbert. TN has the Haslams. There is money out there if they want to spend it on players.

They're using all that Tuohy money that was stolen from Oher.

Ole Miss has one of the biggest NIL collective programs behind aTm….a lot of their fans buy in a monthly contribution in their Ole Miss Collective.

Hats off to Ole Miss fan base in helping generate money to their NIL.

Ironically, the collective grew exponentially last year when Auburn was courting Kiffin, and it was being reported that our small collective was one of the main reasons he would be looking to leave. The fans took this as an insult and thousands signed up en masse.

We are reaping the benefits now. Folks don’t have to be mad about it, the blueprint to do the same at their schools is there.

That is correct but Lane Kiffin is the only one stupid enough to overpay for players that are just looking to get overpaid. There is a reason they are flocking to Ole Miss and it ain’t the opportunity to play under Kiffin. I like Kiffin but he has never really accomplished much as a head coach but he does know how to throw cash around

You may want to educate yourself. The Grove Collective has the most members in the SEC and it is so respected that our President has been invited to testify at Congress.

You don’t read too well do you….oh you are a Tennessee fan. Let me help. Look at the post two before you showed your ignorance. There are some really good articles written on the success of the Grove Collective if you would take the time to educate yourself before bumping your gums.

I'll help him out. This is one of the best articles I've read on the subject. It's from the rivals site but is a free read.

Our richest alum (I think) would rather donate to Kentucky's NIL.

Arkansas doesn’t have access to Walmart money for sports. Bud Walton has been dead 20+ years and the rest of them would rather donate to bike trails and academics.
