but I am not seeing that. The cost of a starter - not even a great player but a starter - has gone up significantly. If VT had enough NIL, why are so many who were getting NIL at VT leaving? If we can’t keep our players, how can we expect to use NIL to more than adequately replace them? The cost of doing business has gone up.
