The older people I talk to through work think we are going to put the genie back in the bottle and this NIL thing is just a fad. They are absolutely clueless on how modern college sports operates. They are stuck in 1995. They are adamant they are not giving money to buy players. They think we should be recruiting the players that play for pride, the love of State and not the love of money. Again, totally clueless on how modern sports operates.
They want to recruit John Christian Taylor over at Oak Hill Academy. He is 5’10 and runs a 5.3 40 but they go to church with his grandfather and he comes from a good family that loves Mississippi State. That is who they want playing for us.
