Until we start paying guys, we will forever get run over by NIL. Our defense is not shaping up very well for the future and that’s on bad recruiting on that side of the ball. That has to change.

Recruiting is not an issue here … it’s flat out buying (or not buying) players. Recruiters are not at a premium in the age of the portal.

Some of yall are such mouth breathers. BK never said we won't pay guys. He just said that he's not getting into bidding wars for guys that only care about getting a bag.

An example would be a Man trying to find a wife. The man makes $100k a year which is plenty enough to give that woman a decent life. BUT if all she cares about is money then she's gonna find herself a guy making $200k or $500k and leave the $100k guy in the dust. Even if he marries him cuz he's the best she can do at the time, she will always be looking out for someone that can provide more than her current man. NOW if they both share the same values and goals in life and commit to each other based on more than money, the marriage has a better chance of lasting. This doesn't mean money doesn't matter at all. If he doesn't have a job at all, the values and goals won't be enough either. BK is trying to find that sweet spot of aligned goals and values and compensation.

Unfortunately for us, LSU has to play the NIL game this wat because we don't have the donor pool that other schools have. No we aren't dead broke but we won't be able to outbid the Texas's of the world. So our strategy has to be more nuanced than that.
