We are just starting to reap the NIL, Transfer Portal, death of regionally based conferences, loss of loyalty & commitment by the player, increasing travel expenses for the fans & greed just to name a few more reasons Baylor Football will get worse.

Form the Private School Conference TODAY!

Wrong as usual. NIL has opened the door for the former doormats like Vandy . It has possibly evened out levels of competition.

No one can possibly compete with UT and aggy and tOSU or Bama but this has proven to help.

Duke 5-1
SMU 5-1
Miami 6-0
Clemson 4-1
Syracuse 4-1
BYU 5-0
Notre Dame 4-1
Vanderbilt 3-2

I'll just leave this here for y'all to say we can't compete because of NIL or portal or enrollment size.
We can't compete because We don't have the stomach to compete in football. But we're doing fine in basketball. Heck, so is Gonzaga.
Most private universities in P4 are doing very well.

Non real excuses.

Briles.

WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell!" - Clark W Griswold

None of these reasons are why we suck

Like many private schools, Vandy doesn't disclose all their NIL and sports figures. But they seem to average about $20K per player which ranks them distant last in the SEC.

Clemson is a huge public land grant university.

It is South Carolina's Aggy.

Vandy didn't beat alabama because of NIL.

NIL has not evened out competition. A few guys may scatter around that would not have scattered before, but NIL isn't anywhere near the leveler that you suggest.

One thing I love about fan boards is when people tell someone else they are wrong, then follow that up with nonsense.

Except that with NIL comes even more entitlement which will cause players with less consistent play. Georgia has been there a couple years. They should be able to beat anybody right now; however, motivation for lesser games is a bigger problem when the coach is also trying to keep from having a high turnover.

Nil isn't why. You can maybe argue the portal
