Not everybody defines "competitive" the same way in regards to their expectations. Do you have a minimum threshold on wins or some other metric?Can UK generate enough NIL $$$ to be regularly competitive in both football and basketball ??
Regularly win at least half of our SEC games in football … would be “competitive” and not an unreasonable expectation … to go along with the usual high expectations for basketball.Not everybody defines "competitive" the same way in regards to their expectations.

I believe that UK can generate a significant amount of money, but it would probably only be around the middle of the SEC at best when it comes to football spending. The team would probably be considered competitive, especially when playing any other out of conference school, but we probably won't be winning 10+ games every year in football with an revamped SEC schedule.
Where does the money come from and does UK have enough of it ??The football roster is 7x larger than the basketball roster so that doesn't seem to be an issue. Plus starting next season teams will likely be able to pay players directly which will reduce the importance of NIL.

Gotcha … but what are they doing with that money now ?? If simply a redirection of funds, other uses will get short-changed.TV revenue. ticket sales, K-fund donations, registered merchandise sales, general donations from boosters.
I have no idea what UK's finances look like.
