Thanks for sharing. I very much agree with all that you’re saying, including the need for a bigger support staff. We need to fund those aspects of the program if we want to win. That was a disappointment of mine coming into the season. The philosophy should be: If you build it, they will come. I firmly believe we can get into the middle of that top-end group of schools if we hire the right coach and crate the fundraising and marketing infrastructure. I believe a lot more middle class folks (not to mention the wealthy) would contribute to NIL if we had a charismatic and proven basketball coach. Similar to small dollar donations for political campaigns, the program could be growing their NIL coffers with the right marketing and sales campaign encouraged by a dynamic head coach. Once the coach is hired, the coach and the athletic department needs to encourage local fans, alumni and fans around the country to contribute just a little bit to the NIL fund. But you have to blast the message loudly and remind people if you want to watch a winning program, you have to donate (even just a little). I think small dollar donations are an aspect of the NIL space that’s being ignored or under-developed.
