So basically NIL is not a part of recruiting for KSU FB or BB players.
I've been assured paying players won't really help or hurt.
First of all, technically, NIL is not a part of recruiting FB or BB players for anyone. Coaches cannot make promises about NIL when recruiting, frankly it would be dumb to do so anyway.
As far it not helping or hurting, you'd be hard pressed to convince anyone that NIL has had any tangible effect on recruiting after the first NIL recruiting class.
The top 10 schools are almost exactly the same from 2021 to 2022. The most notable exception is Miami, which very much proves my point. Before NIL, Miami had the #10 recruiting class. They got the most noteworthy NIL deal, some people lost their crap about how it's going to change everything. What it changed was they went from the 10th best class pre NIL to the 48th best class after their stupid NIL deal.
BYU had the other NIL deal that got everyone all
that deal got them the 60th ranked class, two places behind Arkansas State and ten places behind known big spenders, Marshall.
Quinn Ewers got $1,000,000 from someone to go to Ohio State, he left after 4 damn months for a school that didn't publicly promise him a dime.
Caleb Williams was offered $1,000,000 from a former NFL QB to transfer to Eastern Michigan, it didn't even merit a response from him.
NIL will not be able to fix college football inequities, nor will it change the value system of the student athletes inside of it. I'd presume that none of you are for sale to the highest bidder, nor would you prostitute your child in the recruitment process to whomever flashed the most cash at them.
