Bama and Clemson are the real losers in the NIL battle. They don't have the media markets or billionaire boosters to keep up. It was inevitable that they would fail once capitalism took over and the Good Ole Boys club couldn't illegally corner the market.

I would have thought Georgia with Atlanta and a decent number of ultra-wealthy "friends of the program" could have held par. But they haven't adapted, and in this era it's adapt or die.

UGA definitely has the alumni base, but they are millionaires, not billionaires. Georgia Tech has the wealthier alumni base but they are more like an Ivy in their lack of interest for sports.

Cal and Stanford has the same issue as Georgia Tech.

Yep and the same attitude towards sports. I explained NIL about 4 years ago to a group of wealthy Tech boosters, all of whom played football at Tech for Bobby Dodd (it was an elderly group), and all of whom donate money to Tech athletics. My point to them was rather than just donate blindly, work with the athletic department and coaches to target specific players.

The reply I received was “they should want to come to Tech without needing to be paid”. At that point I stopped wasting my time and breath. I also realized Tech sports were forever relegated to mediocrity.

That SEC means more **** was just propaganda from espn and media heads. They just paid more, now they can’t. That ****** social media slogan fell apart

But you need the right closer at the HC spot. You can have the money but you need those relationships. And you better be able to evaluate

Definitely, but not the level of money that schools in large metro areas do with access to billionaire boosters.
Bama has lots of business people and landowners in the state who support Bama. And that model worked when the 2 choices were completely unpaid labor and slightly paid labor (labor as in college football and basketball players).
But now the choice includes a third category of very well compensated labor. And most SEC schools aren’t equipped to take advantage of the third category. If nothing else they were later to adopt that category then say the Big Ten, ND, TTech and Miami.
