CBS Pod talked about this. Were asking: "Is the ACC poor?" And to an extent, that answer is yes. The ACC isnt spending as much in pay for play NIL salaries relative to their peers. That said, there are so many transfers that there's very little difference between #10 and #100. Very little difference between #50 and #200. Its a really difficult to rank these guys which is why I think teams like Pitt and Wake have been able to do really well in this market cheaply.

Capel's been able to get 2 First Team guys from the portal and neither was ranked in the top 100 of transfer rankings. Ish would be a third if he gets there. I agree that's it's difficult to rank these guys.
Yea, I think transfer rankings are incredibly innacurate because there's just so many. Its like trying to rank every player in college basketball. Is there that much difference between the 200th best player and 500th best player? That said, I think these rankings do show that the ACC teams don't spend as much as their peers. Maybe that's by design because is it really worth it to pay a Top 10 transfer 500K when you can get 3 guys ranked 88th, 95th, and 122 for 100K each?
I think making any assumptions about how much ACC teams pay without seeing actual, reputable information about NIL pay is pretty pointless.
