That's a cute spin from a rival trying to make their NIL shortcomings sound like a virtue. Let me tell you how it rreally works. You build loyalty by winning championships, and you win championships by getting the best players on campus right now. All that "long-term development" talk is just a fancy way of saying their collective can't compete with the upfront deals our guys are putting together. Our players get major support the second they commit, which is why we keep landing the top classes. Kirby Smart builds loyalty through culture and rings, not by promising some internship five years down the road. While they're handing out report card bonuses, we're building a dynasty with the most talented roster in America. They can keep their academic incentive plans, we'll keep stacking trophies.
