Generous donor is currently matching NIL donations.
I get this is part of the landscape now, but this NIL thing stinks. The fans are being asked to pay for players…and the odds of them staying for more than a year or two are low (if they’re any good). So we have to pay to run a minor league program? Why don’t they get Portillo’s or some other sponsor to buy our team?
Man college athletics is going down the toilet fast. I agree with JHood, who said the other day that there needs to be a cap on these NIL payments. This at least gives smaller programs a chance. Until then, we’re paying to be a farm system for power teams.
