And all these schools have been paying all along, we've been scared to do so, at least on a larger scale. Maybe now we won't miss on these big legacy guys. Parson was a big step in that direction

I agree. I think that's our biggest disadvantage with NIL. We simply weren't as organized as some of the other schools in the SEC. Setting up a NIL had to be a lot easier somewhere like Ole Miss where paying players is encouraged and glorified openly and has been for years.

The concern with NIL is that we will no longer get the Simmons, Jones, Cross, and others that Mississippi produces. It's one thing to offer Simmons family 200K under the table, it's another for A&M to set up an NIL for him for about 1.2MM

If this is the way of college athletics then you're right the whole thing is over and we’ll need to realign based on salary cap.
But I think NIL/Portal will look a lot different soon, bc if not college athletics will no longer be attractive.

At this point we should just use the TV money and start a draft
