It's only going to get more expensive the longer they wait.

True, but I'll guarantee you our coaches want NIL money more than a new gym. Players want NIL money more than a gym too, and NIL has become the top item in recruiting. Though we offer really good NIL and have bolstered that program through the Learfield Center and Yea Alabama, schools like Arkansas have unlimited funds from Walmart, Tyson Chicken, and Hunt Trucking to offer up front money to sign, and they are not alone. They do not provide NIL opportunity as designed; they just flat out pay up front - though rumor has it what they promise up front may not get delivered in full. Bottom line is we need NIL money right now.
