In Reply to: NIL matters more than the cult of the coach in acquiring talent posted by Deplorable on January 10, 2024 at 09:29:28
Chip didn't build up enough excitement and goodwill to expect any NIL now. He spent his first 5 years telling donors you're not my job and to F themselves. He's on his own now and can rely on his natural charm and maybe throw in some of his ill-gotten gains. A year from now he won't even be UCLA's coach. Donating money to get him to 7-5 is like throwing it down the toilet.
I'm waving my hand as I type this.
