But football is really the only one that matters. Baseball for us a bit, but football is what really matters.
You are in control of our NIL budget of $52 million...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
The year after we won the Natty in baseball our enrollment dropped....
Women's Volleyball, $25 million (must be hot)
Women's Soccer, $25 million (must be hot)
Split $2m to the loser sports.
Shutter the men's sports. Have a nice softball season with possible pool party to celebrate.
Yes?
Yes?
year 1 - $52 million to men’s basketball. Zero to the rest and win national title.
year 2 - $52 million to baseball. Zero to the rest. Win national title.
year 3 - $52 million to women’s basketball. Zero to rest. Win national title.
Year 4 - Nobody gets anything. Bank $52 million.

Willfully ignorant poor ole. $52M would be the most expensive roster in CFB this year.
Football gets $35 million
Men's Basketball gets $12 million
Baseball get's $2 million
Women's Basketball gets $1 million
Football must take the majority
Baseball isn’t a needle mover, no need to invest super high. You can do less with more in basketball. You could talk me into another million in basketball
WBB has to have some investment identity titke
2026
Football - $5 Million
Men's BBall - $20 Million
Baseball - $10 Million
Women's Basketball - $10 Million
Softball - $5 Million
My goal is trying to win in the other 4 sports and convincing folks to massively up the NIL for football to prove to the fanbase we need to give.
Let's say I win one of the 4 sports and the other 3 I make at least the elite 8 / CWS in each. I'm hoping my budget in 2027 rises to $75 Million.
2027
Football - $55 Million
Baseball - $5 Million
Men's Basketball - $5 Million
Women's Basketball - $5 Million
Softball - $5 Million
That'd be my two year plan. Tank Football NIL in a bad schedule year and juice it in a good schedule year.

I’ll give it a shot.
Football $40 mil
Men’s basketball $4 mil
Women’s basketball $4 mil
Softball $2 mil (buy best pitcher you can for $1 mil)
Volleyball $1 mil
Baseball/Women’s Soccer $500,000 each
That’s where our priorities should be if we want to get the most positive publicity on MSU.

You are so right. Baseball is flushing money down the toilet. It does NOTHING to promote MSU. Money diverted there is sinking this school.
Also, neglecting football in any way at all does even more harm. If we halfass football the whole world sees it that we are loserville USA and it hurts us so bad.
The fact of the matter is we could absolutely suck balls in baseball and NOBODY outside of Starkville would even care. We may as well invest in building a fling golf team as we are to invest in baseball. It does NOTHING for MSU to the outside world. Even when we are badass and play at Alabama for example… maybe a few dozen eyeballs even see it. Again, NOBODY cares. If we pick one sport to suck at… it should 100% be baseball.

I embezzle $40 million and live like a king in a non-extradition country for the rest of my life.
Be the best damn baseball school money can buy. Get notoriety as the school who pays enough to outbid MLB for top players. Be the Duke of baseball. Screw football. Not because I don't want to be great in football but we will NEVER be more than the school that other SEC schools are thankful we are on their schedule even if we do have a decent year here and there. What if Lebby has a worse than expected season this year? He gone. What if he has a great year? He gone. You know it. I know it. Time to accept it and enjoy being permanently great at baseball.
Collectively, we are so damn stupid as a fanbase if this thread is any indication. Meanwhile, Ole Miss passes us by in almost every way imaginable.
Hey, let’s get a reputation of outdoing some minor league baseball teams… About 50 fatties across MS and AL are rejoicing! MSU is on its way let me tell you!

I would set aside $35 million for football but wouldn't spend a penny until we see if we have to hire a new coach this year.
$10 million to baseball and 1 million to softball. Just split the rest.

LOL
Football $40 m
everything else $12 m
Going "all in" on football would be huge dividends for the University, even though the two basketball teams would be non-competitive. I don't know what to do with baseball. I've been told multiple times by posters here that the bulk (or at least a large portion) of baseball NIL comes from sources that WILL NOT donate to other sports.

LSU, who has been spending like drunken sailors on shore leave, is somewhere in the $40s. Texas Tech would be only one close that number.
If this is true, these people are destroying MSU. Surely this isn’t the case and instead some internet rumors.
