Yesterday, Nappier said the athletes should get a cut of the TV money. Ok Billy, what line items on the current athletic budget are you cutting to add athlete payroll expense?

Ok big booster, here is your $50000 bill for the suite for the season.
Hey mr booster, this is Bulldog Initiative, give us $50000 for the next recruiting class?

My Booster has to double down or has a decision to make.

The opposite, the coaches are placing themselves in direct competition with the university.

The Machiavellian AD knows that he can buy a better team than Lincoln Riley can coach for $6M per year, even letting Skip Holtz coach the $6M players.

The 11.7 has affected Mississippi Colleges more than the NIL in baseball. USM can essentially build its baseball program with guys from the Oak Grove youth program, who end up playing at Sumrall, Oak Grove, Petal, North Forrest, Purvis, et. al?

Look at the Sumrall team this year. I think they lost 1 game. The Oak Grove youth program is about like Desoto County and Madison and Rankin County programs. Heck, for years North Jackson baseball out on Lakeland Drive fed JA and Prep. But when they go up against Georgia or Louisiana or Florida or North Carolina, it is just different. There just aren?t enough strong youth programs in every corner of the State. The Golden Triangle, the Mississippi Delta, Southwest Mississippi, Hinds County, just don?t produce the talent we need to sustain 3 programs like we did in the 2010?s.

We need To be the Top Nuclear, Solar and Aerospace Engineering School in the country.

Somebody get Elon Musk on the phone and tell him we need him to build a self-recharging battery plant north of campus!!!

I agree with all of this especially the Musk suggestion. How we doing these days with NASA & Nukes? Don't we still kick ass in car engine design? Wouldn't Elon have a hard on for that?
