When will the boosters NIL relationships start affecting game decisions?

NIL had opened Pandora’s box for sure. The most interesting aspect to me will be how much influence the boosters will now expect after cutting large checks for high school kids.

Love it or hate it, aTm has killed the NIL game this year, but if I’m an Aggie fan it’s a legitimate concern about how Jimbo controls these boosters and their expectations. This goes for every school as well.

I know if I stroke a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I will want my kid featured in the offense/defense and significant playing time.

Will we see coaches change their plans due to big money?

Jimbo couldn’t coach without outside noise. He’s going to be an absolute bag of arse now with people in his ear. Yikes.

So is it better to have low or high expectations?
I honestly can’t keep up.

Quinn Ewers didn't get 7 figures to sit behind Hutson Card.

I could totally see how whoever ponied up the money to get a 5 star player to a school would want a return on their investment. Meaning putting pressure on coaches to play them.

I'm thinking Aggy better come to grips all of these kids are still free agents. They can/will bounce if they're not coddled and satisfied.

Biggest threat to NIL is when the realization occurs that this has a terrible ROI.

My argument is there will be big boosters who don’t give a shite about ROI financially, but rather influence. Saban seems to be the only coach who has proved he can handle this, but it wouldn’t shock me if even he gets fed up with it now.
