Ole Miss can compete in NIL- Wealthy Alumni

It's funny, all the NIL talk and I take a look at the recruiting rankings and...........they look just about exactly the same as they did from 2018-2020.

Things don’t change over night

LOL, you aren't an Ole Miss fan apparently. Things do seem to change overnight.

It doesn’t matter if they aren’t opening their checkbooks for the football program. Harvard probably has the wealthiest alumni base but they could care less about college football.

Don't leave out David Nutt worth $880 Million.

Plenty of money, and they give it pretty freely.

Problem is a lot of hands are out for that money. Unlike some schools like LSU where they'd let the actually college crumble to fund football, a lot of that money goes to the education side.

With NIL now schools have to pick, does the money go to the arms race of facilities or NIL.

Oh god I haven’t had my coffee before reading about ole miss fans lecturing us on how rich they are

ole miss has successful alumni like every university, but no one besides ole miss thinks of the school as wealthy. You’re no more wealthier than any sec school at least.

Ole miss is a good school, but I promise no one cares that’s you’re an upper middle class Nashville resident

Then why are they historically a lower tier program?

Who is saying we can’t compete financially? I think it’s obvious that we can just looking at the salaries we pay and recruiting, specifically transfer portal. I’d argue based on the size of our school and alumni base we compete as well as anyone in the country, outside of Clemson

The problem is Ole Miss alumni haven’t really supported the school. An old historic university such as Ole Miss, with all its famous and rich alumni should not be ranked 2nd or 3rd from the last in school endowments in the SEC. Ole Miss students and alumni won’t even go to a home game when they have a ranked undefeated team. Aggies, LSU, and other SEC teams can mostly fill a stadium no matter who they play or their rankings. When Ole Miss plays A&M in three weeks, the stadium will be full, regardless of the team records. So say you’re a five star recruit, it’s pretty obvious, what are your best options for a NIL marketing deal? A fan base that puts 100k people in the stadium every home game, or a fan base the head coach has to beg to come to the games? So while they maybe could compete as far as NIL, their history, shows they won’t. Just an observation not a criticism.

Well we just raised over 1.5 billion after raising another billion about a decade ago.

But hey, I don’t think lsu is wealthy either, no is ole miss. It’s because neither schools are and I’m okay with LSU being a good school that will never be Northwestern, Vanderbilt, etc. meanwhile you retards babble on and on about some Netscape alum and overrated tailgate scene
