Lane Kiffin has never been shy about sharing his opinions. So, ahead of National Signing Day, he delivered some more strong takes.

When asked about the state of Name, Image and Likeness deals in the NCAA, Kiffin said Ole Miss doesn’t have the resources to compete with schools with deeper pockets.

Kiffin specifically joked about Texas A&M having to pay a luxury tax for shelling out so much money to recruits:

Kiffin makes a good point about the NFL salary cap, but for now, teams are free to do as they see fit.

If Texas A&M wants to use the new NIL rules to pay a lot for the No. 1-rated recruiting class, it is well within its rights to do so at the moment. We’ll see if the NCAA steps in and addresses things the way Kiffin wants.
