I would guess that most that have money to give are older and don't want to support NIL. Most of our fan base just doesn't have the funds to get our NIL anywhere near what it needs to be to compete.t4pizza wrote: ↑Mon Jan 19, 2026 10:46 amThis all starts and ends with our AD and entire athletic administration. They did not embrace NIL and still continue to not have any significant push to raise additional NIL funds, it seems they are content at pure "revenue share" by pulling all but the scraps from other programs to pay for football. It is a new day and age in college sports, and has been for years now, and we continue to not adapt. What are we doing? We are acting like it is 2015 and trying to win with greater facilities and expanded stadium seats for highbrow ticket holders. Guess what, none of that will get a kid up the mountain anymore, it is all about the money to them now. Instead of getting suitors for NIL, we are still trying to get contributions for buildings. We need to get with the times.
That would include me, and I am proud to be in that group. Zero interest in having any money I give to the university go towards bribing athletes to stick around for a year.
There are many.biggie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 19, 2026 11:18 amI would guess that most that have money to give are older and don't want to support NIL.

Just curious, which suitors should the Athletic Department pursue? And, what is the strategy/plan to get them?t4pizza wrote: ↑Mon Jan 19, 2026 10:46 amThis all starts and ends with our AD and entire athletic administration.

So instead of prioritizing funding for a building that benefits many, you'd rather we find someone more interested in giving money to one kid that will jump the minute more money is offered?t4pizza wrote: ↑Mon Jan 19, 2026 10:46 amThis all starts and ends with our AD and entire athletic administration.

They are ruining all college sports if you missed my point.AtlAppMan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 19, 2026 3:53 pmhttps://x.com/nickyperkss/status/20126 ... 05180?s=42
Carson Beck - when asked about classes yesterday said “I graduated two years ago”
There is no more college football and all of this ripples down to all other sports since football was the cash cow that helped fund everything.
