I can't believe the obvious has been ignored...hookers and blow.

Depends on the rich folks. I imagine you've seen some rich folks in your state that don't hesitate to throw six figures at NIL because it's like loose change to them. I know the southeast has plenty that would rather their school win a NC in football than put their name on a building.The basic issue with NIL
Rich folks rather put their name on a building than send $100K to some 19 year old kid who might leave a year later.
We should spend our money where a donor wants his/her money spent. I’m sure that’s just another BS video.

Can’t be conditioned on attendance. It’s for the use of NIL.Back load the money, make it a condition precedent they stay x years and don’t transfer to another school for payment. Contracts can solve this.
Are you referring to Robert Burton? Because it would be tough to kill TGD over that one.Definitely. Rumor has it TGD rather annoyed a substantial donor by not doing this.
I was going to say buy lottery tickets, but your suggestion pays instant dividends.I can't believe the obvious has been ignored...hookers and blow.
I'm not sure your comment pertains to mine. I was just pointing out that there are plenty of wealthy boosters that don't care if their name is on a building as long as their team wins.Back load the money, make it a condition precedent they stay x years and don’t transfer to another school for payment.

Portable???!
I want permanent restrooms with a/c and heat. Maybe water spigots for tailgating, too!
I'm sure there are some turned off by it. I also think it heavily depends on which schools we're talking about. As we saw with the first collectives that sprung up and were immediately highly funded, some boosters are perfectly fine with it. They'll put the money wherever they think it'll help their team win.Meant to respond to TexanMark about kids bailing in one year. Get the overall point though it may be distasteful to certain boosters to pay kids to go to a university. If you donate significant funds to Syracuse, you probably respect the institution to a degree that you view it as a privilege to attend the university on an athletic scholarship and that actually getting paid significant money for doing so is off putting. You want to attract people who want to go to Syracuse for other reasons. Therefore, donor dollars for NIL seems counterintuitive. It’s more offputting than a commercial business paying a kid where at least there is a mutual commercial benefit.
So overall, I agree donors may hesitate to pay NIL.
