It's like gas prices. Higher gas prices arent hurting the Elites (blue bloods)- but it's rough on us poor people. SEC money has allowed us to upgrade facilities and things the last 30 years- but cash-wise we struggle. NIL is going to force us down the ladder farther than we have been. Tulane, La Tech, Houston, and other schools can put together funds to get basketball players just as easy as we can now.

NIL is going to choke us out down the road. It's just getting started and already having an impact.
Oh I'm following what you are saying, but as I said I don't think it will have the impact that alot of you do. And I also think some rules will get implemented. Yes it will have some impact, but we are still an SEC school.... we aren't Tulane, Houston, La Tech. Just have to find a way to make it happen, nobody is going to feel sorry for us.
