So why don't we basically go ahead and make it clear that we are tanking and paying zero dollars for the next, say, 3 years. Nothing but guys willing to play for a scholly or as a walk on. And we save 3-4 years worth of stock piled NIL money, and make it clear that in 2028 we are coming for every top tier transfer in the portal and bringing a BAG with us!

Have all the big targets saying "I don't know where I'll be next year, but in 2028 I want MSU throwing a bag at me and being a part of their title contender team"

Bc we can turn a roster over in 1 offseason easily, especially with a ton of cash.

Why not play for one or 2 magical seasons every decade? Better than what we have now. Many will laugh, but why am I wrong? Work smarter since we can't pay the the big bucks to keep up on a yearly basis.

Roast me
The biggest problem with your idea is players want proof of concept. So after you fire sale the team you would have to hire someone like a Kiffin that is a brand name or a guy like Cignetti and have him bring in most of his team.

It's really hard to sell "yeah we were 1-11 but we're really serious now" when they could go to Alabama, LSU, Ohio State or somewhere that winning is a much safer bet.

Proof of concept is one of our biggest problems right now and that's why we lose guys when we offer them more money than Alabama or whoever.
