Fair question. At the time all this was going down Saturday night, we all saw a lot of chatter and informational crossfire and it seemed like UK was just watching the action from the sidelines but I have to think our AD was doing something. That was my question, what is our AD doing? It wasn't meant as an attack and I probably over reacted by commenting on the last 50 or so years of mediocrity before CMS. That said, is your point that there really is nothing for our AD to do in this case? I'd like to think there is something he can do. To answer your question, while he has made CMS one of the highest paid coaches in the SEC, I'd like to see our players being some of the highest paid players in the SEC now that NIL is in full effect. Does the AD have any influence over that aspect or like us Saturday night, is he just a spectator as well?
I'll admit to not knowing the full scale of the NIL landscape so I won't unload on the AD nor you so apologies if I was abrasive - I just want our players to be satisfied and working in unison for the goal of championship football instead of having to re-recruit them every year now due to the portal and NIL. Hell, looks like UK is now in the phase of having to re-recruit our coaches and that is a nasty place to be. Just hope we don't get to the point of having to re-recruit the fans.
