Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5710441, member: 40"] Honestly, I don't think you posting that earlier message helps your cause -- AT ALL. Specifically because it doesn't seem like you bothered to read my post. I clearly addressed that our NIL wouldn't dissuade a coach, based upon what our alleged payments were to players based upon the information that had been released about what we were spending this year. Here's what I actually said -- again, thanks for posting so that your weird intepretation can be debunked: [B][SIZE=3]But I'm guessing that any candidate with the chops might look at the current state, see that we're in the top 5 in NIL within the ACC conference, and think that they can work with that by providing a better on-court product than what we're seeing under Autry. There's more than one way to skin a cat; out-spending everybody in terms of NIL is one strategy, but it is [U]CERTAINLY NOT[/U] the only way to be successful.[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=3][B]I think people get locked into these false dichotomies of only being black and white, A versus B, when the answer is probably in the middle:[/B][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3]If a coach can build it, the fans will come. And so will NIL $$$'s.[/SIZE][/B] Maybe next time, try to read what I actually post first before just getting knee-jerk offended. And sure, we can split hairs about NIL vs. NIL + revenue share [I've seen posters clarify that we might be 8th, not fifth, but top third of the conference]. I may have gotten a detail wrong -- although I am fairly certain that I could go back and find an article indicating that we were in the top 5 in the ACC, which is where that claim was coming from. It wasn't made up, it wasn't a "lie" as you are claiming, and I straight out said that it would be a factor that was considered and wouldn't be a disqualifier for SU, because we could meet the minimum thresholds. Ad because NIL contributions would increase if the coach could turn things around and reengage the fans. I honestly don't know where you are coming up with this false attribution that it wouldn't be discussed -- seems like a misinterpretation on your part. [/QUOTE]
