I think it is 100% possible to succeed, without having to break the bank with respect to NIL spend.

Our example should be Purdue.  They have a system, they are well coached, they don't necessarily go out and try to compete for 5-star talent, they target system fits, and they coach them up, to the tune of being a consistent top 10-ish team every year.

What I don't see working for us is trying to be the type of program that attempts to compete by trying to outspend teams from the B1G and SEC.  Seems like a losing battle, before we even begin.

I just think we need to pick a lane. The lane we picked with Red, a subpar coach, was to try to overcome his limitations by spending a lot of $$$ in the portal, we just picked the wrong players two years in a row.

A better lane for us is to get a great coach [like Shertz or Skinn, just for example -- not saying they are the only ones] who has a proven track record / quality offensive system.  And then recruit to that system.  Not suggesting it won't take some moderate level of NIL, maybe even trending higher than average, but that feels more sustainable than trying to get into the arms race.
