We can bury our heads in the sand or we can face the ever changing landscape, but getting mad at young men for taking a giant chunk of money seems like the last thing we should be doing.   Yes, I contribute, no it isn't much.  I hope we can one day get to where we have a chance at retaining our best players and not losing them due to $

No one is mad at the players, we’re mad at the system and the bleak future it holds in front of us as a G5.  But you go ahead and waste and throw your money away.  To each his own.

My guess is that Memphis receives a lot of financial support from Fed Ex.

It would be better if rent-a-players just put their requested fee for one year of football service on a site and we fans/coaches can decide who to go after.  Sorta like a ala carte menu of football players.   

NIL as it is now if totally non transparent and mostly under the table verbal promises is what I see.

The problem is we are donating to a moving target. I believe eventually NIL will be moved in house, players become contract employees, and donors will get a write off. This is what G5 needs to do ASAP!

This as well as I believe these are operating budgets not necessarily NIL, seems to be a very misleading headline.

Without a doubt.  Just frustrating when people seem to get so upset at the current landscape, then openly say well I'm not ___________ whatever their counter point is.  Either accept that we will be 1 and done on any productive player every year or try to be part of the solution, however much you desire to be part.

Those are not NIL numbers but total giving to athletics.

Former Aggies athletic director Ross Bjork said last spring that Texas A&M athletes have signed NIL deals worth approximately $10 million. That number is now dwarfed by a $20 million estimation at his new school, Ohio State.

This can't be accurate. Where are the Ponies?

"Only public universities were included in the findings."

From the article.

Until contracts become a thing I will never donate a dollar to NIL. That's a horrible investment for a 1 year player

I give monthly.  Not a lot, but I give.  I think about how much enjoyment I get out of Saturdays, this board, etc. It’s worth it to me to get to enjoy my Mean Green play in the postseason.
