I believe that this is one area where we don't need to be overly concerned.

Yes, there are schools that can easily outspend us and yes, the NIL dollars needed to secure certain players will continue to grow, but will stabilize somewhere not too far down the road.

We aren't building an entire roster by bringing in players through bidding wars and if anyone has been paying attention, roster building based on mercenaries isn't an effective way to win titles.

Would we be better off if we had more NIL dollars to spend?  Yes, without question.

Does the school that spends the most NIL dollars accomplish the most?  We have seen that this isn't the case.

Yes, a new wrinkle that we need to accept is that poachers will be stalking our players throughout the season and we may lose a kid here and there because someone else was willing to overpay.  As long as we remain somewhat competitive with our offers we should outperform our spending (comparative to the entire field) as there is sufficient evidence that overspending seldom leads to good results.
