I saw it said previously, but NIL funding for a scholarship to a loaded family could be appealing and useful.

Let's say you offer a kid a $80K scholarship (tuition, room, board).

Family says, "OK, I would have gotten $35K academic plus scholarships, this is really a $55K scholarship. We'll donate $20K per year to the NIL fund."

Why wouldn't this be something that is worked out down the line? Since there are roster limits, why not offer the final 10 of the 105 maximum to low D1-D2 kids with means, have the parents supplement NIL funding at $20K per year ($200K in total), give the kid significant discount to go to SU and have a good experience.

Who says no? $200K/year could help a lot, no? And if you really want to circumvent things, why not offer the full 20 extra above the 85 scholarship limit you're used to to those types of kids? $20Kx20 = $400K/year. And in certain situations, you might be able to do even more (i.e. - kid wasn't getting much academically).
