NIL in its current form is not going to go well for us. Yes, we will have a big athletic budget just by being in the SEC but you can't use that money to buy players unfortunately. We don't have the doctors and lawyer graduates that just have money out the wazoo to throw away on buying college athletes.
You?re wrong there. I know a good bit of State grads who are lawyers, one of whom is a former State baseball player. I also know a good majority of people at UMMC are State grads. Our problem is very evident-when people post here about the Bulldog Initiative people complain about not having to give money yet complain when we don?t have NIL money. So it?s time for people to start putting their money where their mouth is.
