Short explanation, it stands for Name, Image, and Likeness. Essentially it allows you to say "hey I'm Izaiah Brockington, come shop at this store" legally.What’s NIL
Very fair point. While it could be argued a bunch of ways that does seem to be the prevailing feeling of the fan base.We have a lot of fans who love going to games and getting that experience in return for their cash. We don't have a lot of fans who will willingly donate to a 19 year old's bank account in return for their loyalty. It doesn't seem that complicated to me.
Their are specific rules regarding “pay for play” in how NIL deals are constructed but there is the language in the contract and then how it is implemented in the real world.Short explanation, it stands for Name, Image, and Likeness.

Most cases is amount to pay for play, though.
For sure, I think it's still a positive overall. NCAA didn't put in the work they needed to make it legit though IMO.Their are specific rules regarding “pay for play” in how NIL deals are constructed but there is the language in the contract and then how it is implemented in the real world.
By and large I still view NIL as a good thing but right now it’s a lawless wild Wild West.
I think it is the right thing...it is the easier transfer rules that are mucking things up! Although...I support the players' rights completely...I just feel like the lighter transfer restrictions are what will make the sport less "fun" for the fans.For sure, I think it's still a positive overall.

Yeah I sure hated pulling in a bunch of transfers and going from 2 wins to the sweet 16. No fun at all.
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?
That's true for every fan base too.We have a lot of fans who love going to games and getting that experience in return for their cash. We don't have a lot of fans who will willingly donate to a 19 year old's bank account in return for their loyalty. It doesn't seem that complicated to me.
Considering I don’t really follow wrestling, and was a freshman in high school when that happened, I didn’t say a thing. Also, my comment was pretty general.Did you say the same thing when you first heard the Cael rumor?
Out of curiosity do they donate to the school at all or is it just not to athletics? You are right that a lot of people view their tuition/R&B paid as more then enough donation for their lifetimes. A lot of the people I know who did donate to the university have switched to athletics now that the endowment is sitting where it is. We also had the dumb luck of having a few billionaires attend the school who are doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in athletics but the regular fan has been stepping up with CMT’s presence.That's true for every fan base too.
I know three very enthusiastic Mich State fans right here in Ames - all three on faculty at ISU. The schools are similar in many ways.
Despite their financial wherewithal, none of the three would ever dream of donating to a Spartan player's bank account. Not a chance.
The difference is msu has some HUGE donors that can make up for lack of small donors. Tuckers 95 mil contract was mostly paid by a single donor.That's true for every fan base too.

We're cheap, but there's also a lack of awareness. We talked about this during the Campbell sweepstakes. I believe most ISU fans would be willing to donate a couple hundred bucks or whatever fits their budget, but they don't know they can or that donating is normal/expected in most fanbases. We think of donors as high rollers that get their names on buildings, not Joe Everyman in the corner of the endzone. JP needs to ask for more from the fans and give us an easy way to do it. That changes with NIL obviously, but my point is we're pretty unorganized/uninspiring when it comes to soliciting athletic donations of any kind.
As much as I would hate it, I would also love for ISU to get the chance to host him in a game. As others have said, can't blame the kid if he leaves for a big payday, but also would love to hear the boos a player gets after that kind of move.Hopefully Hunter transfers to Kansas so we can beat him twice next year.
