Lane Kiffin Says Ole Miss Doesn’t Have The NIL Resources To Compete
Lane Kiffin Says Ole Miss Doesn’t Have The NIL Resources To Compete With Major Schools
It sounds like Ole Miss might struggle recruiting great players in the era of NIL.
Players are now allowed to earn money from business deals while competing, and it’s resulted in a bigger gap between the haves and have nots. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Well, it sounds like Kiffin is worried that the Rebels just don’t have the NIL resources from boosters and businesses to compete.
“We don’t have the funding resources as some schools with the NIL deals. It’s like dealing with salary caps…I joked I didn’t know if Texas A&M incurred a luxury tax with how much they paid for their signing class,” Kiffin explained according to Ross Dellenger.
He further added, “Somehow, they’re going to have to control NIL. You’ve got these salary caps. (Schools) giving players millions to sign before they play and other places not able to do that. What would the NFL look like if two or three teams could pay 10 times more in salary cap?”
While I understand where Kiffin is coming from, NIL when looked at in totality is a very good thing. For far too long, players weren’t allowed to earn cash from endorsement deals or signing autographs.
Now, the times have changed and college athletes can earn money.
Seeing as how this is America and capitalism is a good thing, we should all support people getting paid what they’re worth.
Will teams with rich boosters probably recruit better? For sure, but that’s just the nature of the beast. Here’s a reality check for everyone.
Those teams were already dominating! So, nothing is really going to change.
Kiffin is simply going to have to find a different excuse, and I say that as someone who is his fan!

Excuse? It's not an excuse, it's a fact. Kiffin is dead on, take salary caps out of the NFL and there are probably 3-5 teams that can compete monetarily, which is why the NFL has salary caps - so other teams can compete and the NFL will have a league that is interesting and marketable around the country. For colleges, there will be about 10 teams (maybe a few more) that can compete with no NIL cap. If that's the case, I'm done watching college football.

He is also doing this to get donors to step up. There is a method to the madness..

The author is probably a BAMA fan, and like Lane while he was a coach at BAMA.

It appears the author is from the North and as you know, he most likely does not understand Southern football. Hey, David. It's a Southern Thing. You wouldn't understand.

But that's the problem - Ole Miss and 90% of the other schools in the country do not have donors who can "step up" with the big money schools. So Kiffin can ask all he wants but he will not be able to match money in a bidding war.

This is called, getting out in front of the problem. The NIL is not currently hindering our recruiting efforts thanks to Kiffin being ahead of the curve on the new way to recruit with the portal. What he is trying to do is get some kind of cap in place BEFORE it does affect our recruiting and to be honest there does need to be a cap. The entire SEC should want a cap. Even Alabama, Tennessee, and Auburn won't be able to complete once the schools in California, Texas, and the larger cities get businesses on board. You think Mr. Yellawood from Auburn can compete with the likes of Wells Fargo, Disney, or even Nike? It will be a freeforall and the football power will quickly move out of the south.
It's not going to be the schools currently with money that will get all the players. It will be the major corporate interests that take over football due to the lucrative and largely untapped business that it is. I suspect that the way schools will move forward without a cap of some sort will be to sell their souls to a major corporation to fund NIL deals with players. Ole Miss would be begging FedEx to fund our program.

"What he is trying to do is get some kind of cap in place BEFORE it does affect our recruiting and to be honest there does need to be a cap" - Yeah, which is exactly what I said to begin with.
