I couldn’t disagree more.  Does money play a small part, sure.

1- Goodman posted the other day of 3 teams continually winning recruits and not being the highest bidder.  Baylor, Alabama, Uconn.  It’s about the fit and buying into the team.

2- Do you really think we were the highest bidder for every football transfer we got this past year?  If we were not how did we manage to get these kids?

You can’t always blame everything on the money.  Although important, sometimes it’s about putting kids in the right position, being honest with them, and providing them with the necessary support and tools to further their careers. People claimed teams cheated for years with bags under the table.  Hate to tell you, but Kentucky won 1 time since calipari came?  And he won 0 times at Memphis?

The team that spends the most doesn’t win the most. Look at the history of any sport.   Usually the teams that spend the most money do not win it all.  UConn just went back to back and do not have this massive chest of NIL money to disperse.  Let’s stop trying to make excuses for why Syracuse or Red may not succeed.

ultimately, if Red doesn’t get the job done it’s on him.  Plenty of coaches have been successful without a massive NIL chest to utilize.
