Not taking anything away from Liberty City El / Memnon. But it was more than just him. Several/many of us posted that the bag game corruption was sustaining the old SEC (pre-UTx and TAMU). That plus Miami's ineffectual administration and poor recruiting/coaching prevented our resurgence. All of which have been addressed.

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.

The guy who owns the building I work out of is a GT alum. Probably the richest guy I’ve ever known. He’s complained multiple times that the real money just doesn’t care. If that alumni base just flipped one day and started caring GT could run football in the south.

GT alumni designed, built and they run Atlanta. Literally. And they love GT sports, but they live in a fairy tale world.

That would be Georgia problem if they did. Don’t think that would hurt us to much

I’ll admit I never realized how much money this was going to take. Mario coming from two of the best run operations in football in Nick Saban’s Bama and Phil Knight’s Oregon knew. He’s consistently been ahead of this as has our NIL leadership. It’s super impressive.
