SDSU is the dumpster fire because they lack NIL.
UNLV has a the second best NIL in the MW. That and a good Coach are why they have succeeded the last two seasons. If they bring in a good Coach, they will be fine.
State can be competitive with a lower NIL as long as they find a better Coach with a strong leadership personality. Stars will move on. However, a great Team and winning atmosphere will keep a kid around if the NIL is close.
I don't think people will donate to NIL, especially in large numbers (people and/or bigger donations) until there is a much better program on the field in both performance and excitement.
It's a Catch-22.
The only thing that get this going will some big monied alums or local business interests that either are sold a vision (do we have people in our Athletic department that even know what a vision is?) that they believe SDSU football is important for the University and greater SD area...
... or the same type of potential donors get fed up with the dumpster fire/train wreck that has become Aztec football and find it almost necessary to get involved.
Feels like we're looking for an almost miracle at this point given with College football has become.
