With NIL and TP, do your expectations change when evaluating teams/coaches?

IMO, there is no such thing as building a team in college football anymore. I believe it's win now, period. When LSU agreed to pay Kiffin 13M+ a year and give him a 40M+ NIL budget, there's no excuses not to win now because half of the 60+ new players on the team now, won't be there next year.
In the old days, it was about building a roster and developing a good team. These days players only care about themselves and getting paid. When a teenage kid can sit across from Nick Saban - the greatest college football coach ever - and only want to talk about money, that tells you all you need to know about state of college football.
This season 97 of the 138 FBS schools will be starting a transfer QB! IMO, it's all about winning now!

No, you don't build a team in college.... you rent one year-to-year. Kiffin isn't even the highest paid college HC and when you're being paid that much.... separating them by a mere 1/2 million is nothing.
And $40M for NIL isn't the highest in the SEC or in college football.
