Some important NIL info and updates

[Coach34]

Wheat was gone until we paid him.

Our NIL arrangements pre Charlie were Preston Johnson reading an ad for William Wells and Will Rogers getting free BBQ at Moe?s. Frankly it was embarrassing. We?ve started getting organized under Charlie but have so much ground to make up. Instead of paying recruits we?re having to pay current players not to transfer. We?re not prepared enough to get a guy like Mosley demanding $250k.

This is what our fanbase has got to understand and understand immediately. We are in the middle of the food chain. We arent the shark. Not only do we have to pay recruits and portal guys- we have to pay our own guys not to leave. Its not all of them- but it is a significant amount. You dont think other big programs want Marks? Wheat? Forbes? Tolu? Cade Smith? Hunter Hines? These guys are being offered money now to leave for the blue bloods.

This is college sports now

Yes, and other programs will use US to help THEM recruit diamonds in the rough, or guys that may/may not produce in the SEC. Just watch. The schools will always watch MSU to see who they can pull away from us. It's time we start being proactive and doing more. Quit sitting back and being lazy! Let's move forward.
