The funny part about all of this butthurt within college football on Ole Miss/Kiffin being Mr. Steal Ya All-American.

... is that you can quickly tell who hasn't paid attention to the portal the last three years.

While this appears to be far and away our best haul, Kiffin has been doing this before it was cool. Him and Mel Tucker essentially laid out the blueprint for it in 2021.

Ole Miss brings 15+ kids from the portal in every year. If these kids were getting lied to, misled, or not promised the money they were offered, it would've gotten out by now from the players. Ask Florida what happens when you promise a kid money and then don't pay. Yet, at Ole Miss, you haven't heard a word of that from anyone other than people that are extremely distraught that Ole Miss is again upsetting the apple cart in a huge way. Much of that is from a certain fanbase. But a lot of that is from those that sees the tide turning. It's easy to spot.

But this time, there isn't a Mike Sheridan, Lee Tyner, Matt Ball, NCAAEmily, or an onslaught of national journalists out there able to do jack squat about it.

And frankly, these three aren't here to fragile-ego flex and screw it all up.

LFG. 2024 is going to be fun.

I’d love to know: NIL budget.

I’d love to know how much carry over from last year we started with…if we’re “going all in” this year bc we are “in our window…much like pro sports. That’s what if feels like: it feels like we have saved up and going all in this year. Will likely pick and choose which years to break the bank

For instance if you’re UTK and you’re starting Nico next year and losing grads not sure it’s the best idea to go all in? Then again, you get fired if you go 4-8

Braden Thornberry

Just read that he's entered into a LIV qualifier in Abu Dhabi next weekend trying to earn a spot onto the LIV Golf Tour. I'll be rooting for him. Dude has had a rough time earning money since winning the NCAA championship. I hope like hell he gets one of the 3 spots available. Other notable players trying as well to latch on to LIV are Dufner, Kyle Stanley, Chris Stroud, Kevin Chappell, Jeff Overton, and Victor Dubuisson.

73 players, 3 spots

Walk on vs Scholarship player

In the day of NIL, what advantages does the scholarship player have over the walk on? For example, Decamerion Richardson. If we pay him the amount that a scholarship would cover, and not count him against our 85 limit why not do that with our portal guys? I don't know all the rules there, what am I missing on scholarship vs walk on as can do's and can not do's?

Kiffin is not proving “you” can win big at OM. He’s proving HE can win big at OM. Not Golding not anyone else. Some need to realize that…

what he’s doing is unprecedented for a reason. He is the only coach in America that brings this level of excitement, enthusiasm, national exposure, and success to this program. He IS the program. He IS bigger than OM just like Saban is bigger than Bama. Both are irreplaceable. There’s going to be a huge drop off in everything I listed above when they both leave. That’s why OM does not have an option if another school makes a ridiculous money offer other than matching it. Anything short of that is a crime.
