I see where State Current roster NIL valuation is $26.7 mil and the black bears is $38.6. Guess State still has some work to to do.

Ole Miss has always put in more for football than we have. We didn't start catching up with them until we hired an Ole Miss assistant coach as our HC in the early 70's. He knew how to get the money to the right players he needed. Unfortunately, we got put on probation for it. Now it's all legal.

So you are saying State needs a coach who can beat 4 & 5 stars with 3 stars and walk-ons! Man I sure hope we can find one on this side of the dirt!

If OM had hired BT for head coach like Vaught wanted it may have put us out of business. We were really circling the bowl Thank goodness the Kinards got their way .

If you’re reading an article on NIL then you’re reading fake news. Not a single school is releasing any nil numbers. It’s rumors only. What I can tell you is out numbers are much greater than reported

Then State is woefully overpaying for the current talent level If our 3 star roster is more than $26 million.
How dumb of a post…. You think fluff Taylor Evans jones smith D Evans just to name a few were cheap? You thinking adding the players we added through the portal were cheap. Tell me your uninformed without telling me you’re uninformed

Sooooo, reported numbers are "fake news", but you know "our numbers are much greater than reported"?

I think we spent enough in this off season to be competitive in the SEC. Lebby doesn't really have much of an excuse this year.

The fact that we are reading this is just mind boggling.

The fact that my first thought was “we
gotta spend more” is soul crushing.
We must have more money.

We have lots of people who are pledging money for particular athletes, but that's no help.

If you don't believe OM has nearly double the amount of real NIL on hand than we do, you are sadly misinformed.

I don't know if every player gets NIL or not, but the quick math divided over 100 players is $267,000 each. If we just paid 50 players it's $534,000 each. I know it doesn't break down this way, but dammit college football has gotten out of hand. I was a pretty low key and studious guy in college, but there is no telling what I would have done with six figures in college.

I mean the fact that the “grown-ups” have decided that giving the kids more and more money for playing games is just insanity. There’s just no way this ends well for anybody.

What an investment strategy! Give as much money as you can, to a fund that has no public auditing or accounting, no caps, just money that is to be handed out to anonymous people that conceivably may never step onto a court, field, course, or track and can be gone elsewhere in less than a year..............

You haven't convinced 99% of this board....................
The last thing I want to do is convince anyone on this board on anything. I state facts about the on goings of MSU but it turns into some diatribe from some idiots who would rather be part of the problem and not the solution. This board has turned into a pathetic cesspool of people who are more in line with negativity and lies than anything else. It’s truly the worst board of any maybe in the SEC. The lack of knowledge and the amount of ignorance in this so called fan base really is unbelievable.

You've got to be kidding. That's been your PRIORITY ONE in every message you've ever posted on here, unless you are the troll that others have said, then, I congratulate you............

There's a simple solution for you though:

Then you haven’t been understanding my post. Pointing out facts. Calling people out when they lie, sure. I never try to convince someone to do something I would love for us as a fan base to donate more and to be more involved and positive but that’s not going to happen. We have more fans just looking for more reason to not donate to not attend games and not support the program. They are also the same ones who are derogatory toward NIL and the first be negative about recruiting. We have a sad fan base

Something about throwing good money after bad. We can compete in baseball, maybe basketball, but football? Pipe dreams fellas.
