The notion of “Fran backers” is a bit overblown on this board. Fran’s biggest supporters are folks who weren’t supporting the program before for a lot of reasons but are Cuse folks. I’m sure he had some of his own network but based on the actual NIL numbers, he wasn’t pulling in some crazy figures on his own and going on a massive spending spree. He got guys for less. Meeks is a prime example of someone who could have stayed at Georgia for more but opted to take a pay cut to play. And betting on himself and Fran appears to have worked for both guys.

What Fran does bring is a massive network at the HS level and a way to facilitate connections for potential recruits. When you can hook guys up at the HS level, you earn those favors and returns down the road. But that’s not money backing. That’s just how he networks and builds relationships. The game is entirely different now and some coaches are better suited for it. Red needs to adapt.
