[QUOTE="Jophish17, post: 852352, member: 843"] In short, yes I believe Tech can still compete. By that I mean NIL isn’t an isolated variable driving us to doomsday. [LIST] [*]There are still only 11 players on the field at once. Maybe 40 players per school get meaningful playing time in a season. If you want to jump to the NFL, you need to be producing on the field. System capacity for players hasn’t changed. [*]Starting players will probably earn more than bench players; I admittedly haven’t looked very far, but I can’t imagine someone 5th on the depth chart at Bama earns materially more than a starter at Tech. So if you’re not going to the league, where can you maximize your payout? The starting team or the bench? [*]On the transfer portal: refer to point #1. Players will move from Tech, yes. But we could also get players at schools who are good but not quite good enough for Clemson or UGA… a lot like how recruiting works today. [*]Tech has regularly found money when it needed it for facilities upgrades, and there are many executives and entrepreneurs who support Tech that we could draw from. Tech has no shortage of corporate partners. [/LIST] Yes, it’s still TBD what tech will look like long term in the NIL era, but I’m not convinced it will be doom and gloom. We can still compete in the ACC for sure. [/QUOTE]
