Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4818648, member: 10709"] That's fair. To me though, NIL is becoming a crutch with respect to the recruiting conversation. I'm not saying it doesn't have impact but how significant is that impact really? With all the chatter about how LSU has deep pockets, it didn't pan out for the WBB program when it comes to 2024 recruits. The NCAA NIL experiment is still in its infancy. Results are mixed in WBB if you ask me. It's like free agency in pro sports. Making huge investments in free agents pays off on occasion, but there are way more examples of huge spending not paying off for a team. And looking at the 2024 class rankings, how many of these programs have NIL initiatives with deep pockets? Several of the fanbases on the list complain on their boards that their NIL efforts are non-competitive. It doesn't seem to be stopping to players from choosing them.
