"Giglio reporting that LSU has $15 million in NIL ready for him"


No way that is a real number. Isn't that supposed to be Kentucky/Duke level money?

Oh, I see. Like it is always about the brand for them rather than realizing when they're talking to someone with the right tools but hasn't blown up yet.

I mean we had a coach that won an ACC title and made the final 4 and we gave him a shoe string budget. I’m not even saying Keatts shouldn’t have been fired. But he wasn’t set up to succeed either.

I know it’s all guesses but I thought I’d seen 20 ish as the guesses for Duke and the other few very highest spenders. Allegedly we were…10 ish?

^That's part of why that number seems unlikely tho. They are already throwing the kitchen sink at football. Where the heck are they finding elite basketball level NIL money on top of that. You'd think if there was that much more NIL to squeeze out, the boosters would want a lot of it going into the football pot.

LSU boosters are loaded and care about nothing but LSU sports. This is nothing for them. They were doing this shit before it was legal, and getting top 20 recruits on the regular. So yeah that's probably a real number.

That's true, but they can't use their position to just give LSU players NIL money or allocate State money for that use or whatever.

But it's not preposterous to think LSU has gobs of donor money. They always have had it.

Gobs of money and power and the entire state wants LSU to be good at everything. No other major P4/5 schools in the state.

^^I'm not sure why you're laughing. There's a rule that caps the amount of money the state of lousiana can give to athletes. If this governor was dumb enough to try and blatantly go around that, it would not end well.

Fuck, all I'm saying is the governor is not a huge player in getting booster money to players by way of NIL contracts.

Louisiana famously doesn’t have a history of some of the most corrupt politicians in the history of the country, apparently

From ESPN:

Quote :
"Corrigan said he did not regret hiring Wade and credited the coach with reinvigorating the program. Corrigan said he wanted to reassure financial backers of the Wolfpack that he'll find a coach who "wants to be at NC State for a long time.""


-1,000 for getting got by Wade and still pandering to athletic donors in the same breath

I think that ESPN quote is very much painting things in a light that is favorable to LSU/the SEC. Boo did everything but straight up call Will Wade a liar today. And we honestly don't need an AD who stoops to that level. Yes, Debbie Yow would have done that, but we don't really need another DY.

I think both things can be true…Wade inspired some increased booster money and also was a total liar.

I think Boo said the right things in the presser today. I mean, aside from actually screaming and cussing and tweeting about it I’m not sure what else he should’ve said. Which reminds me, everybody shits on Boo because he doesn’t have Debbie’s personality but he’s 100% the adult in the room. People that shit on him just want a message board poster as their AD
