You guys will soon realize C34 doesn?t know what he?s talking about.
What luck!! Only at MSU would our billionaires hate sports!! What did we do long ago to inherit this curse??
Coach 34 is right, whether you like it or not. Remember, NIL is throw away money. Every single year. Lebby is a great hire because he can find us a guy for less than top of the market, because he knows the kind of QB that can work his system. Much the same way The pirate could, but in a different system. Gabriel went to OU because of him. full stop. Had he stayed at OM he would have gone to OM imo. He will attract very talented QB's, so trust what he will do.
Whatever we have raised in the portal thus far is not a yearly budget boys. If the Lebby hire gains us big donations, that will be stretched multiple years. There's no guarantee we have that kind of money year to year. I would agree we spend a hefty amount to re energize the program at year one, but we can't go spend big and waste it all. few programs have **** you money.
I don't know the numbers at all fwiw. I would say spend big on QB for sure. After that, be very smart about the money you spend. I'm not convinced spending big like A&M did/does is the right move. There's definitely a balance that has to be found, but I have no idea what that is. First guess would be trenches.
Practically every player on our two deep and special teams get NIL $. Obviously not all big money. Its the price to be relevant these days. Like it or not.
We should give Elon Musk an honorary engineering degree. Maybe that could secure us a good donation, lol.
