Say goodbye to mid majors

Just piggybacking this thread instead of making a new one about NIL.

School across the basin officially launched their "collective" called Bayou Traditions.

LSU NIL Collective



I feel like this will dry up even more casual Acadiana dollars that may have been split between RCAF and TAF. Now some folks might be cutting RCAF and putting into TAF and "Bayou Traditions."

Amount of money being thrown into "college" athletics is insane.

Unless a person is a whale donor, many who move to this option will be shorting where they originally gave. Give it time, it will blow up except at the very upper level of P5.

For example, the California programs in the PAC12 are hanging on for dear life, what will happen when donations to the booster organizations lose money to pay the next coming of Tom Brady? Coaches salaries take a hit, etc.

Exactly. This is close to a zero sum game for all but the richest of the rich. We'll be fine.

Why don’t all those grammar police on here ever correct someone when they say “The Natty”? How could a word with only one t be shortened into having two t’s. It still remains the dumbest term I have ever heard or read. And only certain conferences seem to embrace it, easy to understand why….

The money under the table doesn't compare to the money that will be thrown out there for the world to see. Now you have a bidding war for the services of athletes. NIL and the transfer portal are the perfect storm to completely change college athletics. The NCAA can't control NIL payments, but they can control the portal.

Kinda my point…all the money is in the open and a good chunk moves to the NIL world, impacting donations used for other things.

Imagine being personally responsible for two big recruits signing, maybe six figures each, but you still cant get a tailgate spot or stay for the men’s hoops game with a woman’s hoops ticket, because NIL is “separate”

If RCAF was autonomous it could work. The RCAF could link perks much like TAF, but USL just loves having multiple cooks in the kitchen under their thumb.

I’d bet that they will qualify and be at the front of the line.

Probably the same folks that when baseball or softball makes the supers, drops a big donation to jump ahead of 1,950 or so RCAF members to get to the front of the line.

speaking of, have we ever figured out why the tickets we have to give the opponents in those situations are always way better than the ones our fans get in return when we are visitors for that stage

I believe it’s never been addressed adequately with Maggard. He’s not giving regular radio interviews that such questions can be answered in a full and complete manner. Like so many opaque things at UL.
