Tracy has a sound marketing strategy for his operation. It's his business after all. He supports coaches he respects and he goes all out to help with fund raising. That buys him a relationship and access. Therefore his site does provide lots of information. (I also think they have some good writers and features.)
I respect the business approach, thinks it makes a lot of sense since his job is to gain access to lots of information and entice customers to pay a fee to access that information. Plus getting behind the MOW operation is good for my alma mater as the NIL stuff is currently a necessary part of the equation in all sports and the effect of NIL is to take much - likely most - of the paying athletes to play for the good old alma mater (whatever school you support) from under the table which benefitted those who were happy to cheat (the old NASCAR saying, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.") over those who were more ethical and tried to (mostly) play by the rules.
