I would expect a huge NIL payment or recruitment difference to go extract a Jacob Berry from Arizona - a ready to go All American and 1st Round pick. It will be news to me that there is even a market for this in baseball. Berry went LSU with his coach.

I expect we won't get any Jacob Berry transfer or puck away a Mike Mussina from Stanford.

I expect MSU to take Ok-ish guys from Austin Peay, Eastern Tennessee, Mercer, South Alabama, Campbell, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Binghamton, or New Mexico. That's not going to take Saudi or Drug Cartel levels of money.

Are you Cats saying MSU is about go buy a baseball team? Or some marquee All Americans from other D1 programs?

No. I'm saying just the opposite.

No. I'm saying just the opposite.

Yeah- people need to realize about NIL. We've had trouble raising 3MM. The rest of the SEC is starting at 20MM

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying for forever. I literally laugh out loud every time a “cigar boy” has been brought up. We do not have any. Not one. They have had plenty of time to “pony up” and make sure people are considering us.

They aren’t. Because they don’t exist.

We’ve basically heard witch stories all our lives about these so called money men that made the MSU world go round.
