Paul Finebaum would like everyone to know that the only reason for the recent B1G dominance is because we have an NIL advantage over the poor schools in the SEC. No mention by Paul that southern bagmen have been bribing kids to come to SEC schools for decades:

In the wake of that national championship, the SEC is facing a near existential threat from the Big Ten. Paul Finebaum knows that concern very well. In particular, a growing concern over an NIL gap between SEC and Big Ten schools, which Finebaum explained on The Matt Barrie Show.
"
We’re talking billionaires now,” Paul Finebaum said. “Outside of Texas and Texas A&M, the list of billionaires starts to get really thin. I can tell you, in the state of Alabama, there are two billionaires. Only two in the entire state. They’re both Auburn supporters. Alabama doesn’t have a billionaire. And why is a billionaire important, Matt? Because they can throw around money.”
Coach Saban has his own theory as to why the SEC is getting throttled by the B1G and is quite disturbed about another conference having the audacity to pay recruits:
Paul Finebaum isn’t the only one who has noticed the Big Ten’s advantage over the SEC in the NIL space. Nick Saban is also well aware of that and recently trolled the Big Ten over it.
“In this day and age of the culture we have now in college football, paying players, name, image and likeness, transfer, it’s an advantage for the Big Ten,” Nick Saban said. “You’ll never convince me otherwise. The North. Because people in the South would not go to the North unless you paid them.”
You're right, Coach...be very afraid.
