We don’t have that many donors at the end of the day. Good luck with any of that. Least amount of donors does not translate into big NIL opportunity. We are who we are.

JP needs to go to the $12,500 donor class and get some of them to pay players instead of the University.
Make a collective. Make it easy. Need a couple of current Former Cyclone Pro Athletes or known boosters to get this going.
Again, the university does not pay players.
Works if your dept has a Surplus - I suppose.
Our eventual new TV contract probably makes things much worse. Going to be very hard to balance the future books.
What Friendly Spartan says is 100% correct, except he way underestimates the cheapness of our fan base.
That's the biggest part. I will only use the bridge as an example and understand the reasons why it specifically couldn't have happened for that one.
But a part of being an AD now is convincing someone who wants a bridge or whatever that 10% or some other number should be going to an "unaffiliated" NIL fund and specifically for football and basketball.
I would bet some of my essential organs that AD's at schools like Texas are pointing potential donors in that direction, regardless of whether or not they're supposed to.
There's already one in the works
I would say the boosters at UT are already very aware of the NIL w/out the AD pointing it out.
JP and any other AD has a fiduciary duty to their school and Athletic Department. If they are telling donors "don't give the AD your money, give it to the players" they are breaching that fiduciary duty.
I know this is football, but

Did you say the same thing when you first heard the Cael rumor?
That UNC fan made some
Valid points; but the DeAndre “Grown a$$ man” Kane vid never gets old
This is exactly what is happening at a lot of schools. I’m not sure if the uncertainty of a new media deal is cause for being more conservative in this regard for ISU but one could argue that getting the best talent into the revenue sports with NIL deals is doing their duty.
My example had nothing to do with the university paying players. I said JP needs to coach the higher level donors into paying players.
Can someone explain to me why this is the case? Seems like every time NIL comes up people talk about how cheap the fan base is yet also talks about the incredible support and attendance numbers? I’m just trying to wrap my head around how thousands will may for season tickets, parking, food, merch, etc but not pony up 50-100 bucks a year for NIL?
