There is another subset that is vehemently against NIL so they very proudly proclaim they are not giving but bitch and complain every time we lose and say we do not have enough talent or our talent sucks. The last subset are folks who do not even know what the Bulldog Initiative is. They come for the tailgate and the social aspect of things. We have a factioned and fractured fan base. You have more people that care about a damn logo from the 90s than NIL.

That is the difference between us and The School Up North. They get it. They understand this is the new way of college athletics. They are not waiting for the NCAA to do something or waiting for their big boosters to do something. They are all giving. They are all rowing in the same direction. It is not an administration issue. It?s a mindset issue. They are operating like SMU in the 80s and we are operating like TCU.
There's a video going viral this morning on social media from an Arkansas TD club meeting. No idea who was talking but the guys said (paraphrasing) "we all hate Ole Miss but they have 5,000 (people) in their NIL and we only have 1,000"

So if Ole Miss has 5,000 and Arkansas has 1,000 any clue what we have? I'm in it and I have no idea.
