NIL is just the scape goat for anything that goes wrong in college football going forward. Nebraska didnt get a recruit, " Other guys are giving him more NIL." Quite annoying IMO.
My thoughts, NIL is only 1 piece of the pie. I'm sure for top guys, the NIL package is more or less the same. At that point it comes down to the same things, player liking the coaches, campus, depth chart, location, etc. And Nebraska is always going to have trouble recruiting a guy in Texas vs UT.
My guess is Nebraska has a really good and competitive NIL package. But you need to keep in perspective of what that means. Nebraska traditionally recruits against, UCLAbia, Wisconsin, Oklahoma St, MSU, Texas Tech NIL helps when facing off against those types of schools as Nebraska almost certainly has better NIL then them. Then when we face OU, Texas, Michigan, OSU, I dont really think NIL matters as much. Its comes down to the other factors, and Nebrsaka needs to start winning if they are going to be overcome those challenges.
Sure, theoretically, Nebraska could go out and overpay recruits by offering them like x2 of what other schols are offering, but unless Turd starts recruiting Saudi boosters, I don't think that is going to happen.
