Bayou Traditions budgeted $8 million for the roster this season. The median amount that SEC collectives will spend on football teams next season is $10 million. He estimated the top end will be $13-15 million
So we're spending half of what the top schools are and we're expecting a top school result.

Bayou Traditions budgeted $8 million for the roster this season, though it is not expected to reach that number

“We will pay players, and we can afford to do so,” the source close to the collective said

Bayou Traditions had enough money to meet their asking price

It doesn't come down to one player, right? It comes down to a holistic, comprehensive approach that if you mismanage the funding and you go ahead and you overspend in some areas on your team, how do you come back and build the rest of your roster around that, because word goes around, right? All of a sudden, you can have a lot of issues.”
Now that they've made it very clear that they have more money to spend this year and are choosing not to, what's stopping the current players from asking for more?
