Message: [QUOTE="rrlbees, post: 5663768, member: 96"] Yeah, that’s last year’s number. And as you know, the goal was to double that 2 to 2 1/2 million. A confidential survey of which I’m sure not every school responded to show the ACC is having an average NIL of 4.1 million per team. So 4.55 would put us just inside the top half. The SEC was at 7.1 while the Big Ten and big 12 at about 5.4 and 4.4 respectively. So we’re behind a lot of schools not just in the ACC but across the country. So NIL will play a role into what coaching candidates will see as you as a strong option. We will be looked at as a good opportunity by some, but not all. It would be nice if some big donor stepped up and helped almost double that again. Heck a number of schools were over 10 million including some of the ACC. It’s too simple to say hire the right coach. Maybe that right Coach is fine being middle of the pack NIL but it sure would help to be able to open up that aperture. [/QUOTE]
