I like this thread since it's more for debate and not just people crying for the old days.

In your %'s take out the top 16 programs that are spending stupid amounts.  For instance Drop Kentucky/Louisville, Uconn, STJ, and the next 12 teams and all the sudden the NIL market looks closer to prob 10-20% uptick.

I know it drives the average or even above average fan crazy to just not be in competition with so many teams that we used to consistently beat or at least be competitive against but it's just not the case for the short term given the NIL game.

We need to compete with the 17th-60th NIL spenders not the 1-16 at least for now.  We are competing for 5-11 seeds in the tourney or at worst play in games right now.  9 ACC teams will get in, we can field a better roster and staff than the bottom 9 ACC teams, very confident in that.

Last thing I'll say, I know people think NIL is going to change soon but keep in mind that there are alot of teams that don't want it to change.  College Sports has never been about a fair and equitable playing field, even less so now.  SEC teams have been paying players for decades, Notre Dame football is rigging the CFP, Southern states are now giving kids tax free NIL breaks, list goes on.
