Risks of committing before results

LSU just built the most aggressive transfer portal class college football has ever seen — and it’s ushering in a new era under Lane Kiffin.

The Tigers went all-in for 2026, stacking elite talent through the portal and investing massive resources to win immediately. But was this just a one-year spending spree, or something much more calculated?

In this episode, we break down how Lane Kiffin intentionally constructed LSU’s portal class with long-term sustainability in mind, prioritizing impact players with multiple years of eligibility instead of short-term rentals. We explain how LSU can compete at the highest level now without mortgaging the future.

We also dive into the rapidly evolving NIL and revenue-sharing landscape, including potential rule changes that could fundamentally alter how student-athletes are compensated — and why LSU may already be positioned ahead of the curve as college football enters its next phase.

If you want to understand how LSU is trying to dominate both on the field and in the boardroom, this episode is for you.
