The article is written by the 247 contributor for Illinois. Look what school is listed first in said article.
It’s a piece of **** OP-ED.

It’s a piece of **** OP-ED.
That's debatable IMO. Hunter does have more years to improve on his game though... I'll give him that.
I wonder what percentage of the schools do pay? I would assume KU, N. Carolina, Duke, Oregon. Does Tx pay for MBB? Football sure but BB is a throwaway sport at UT.
I guarantee Kentucky would - just look a few years ago to their "platoon system"
We’re not even to the crazy yet. It still is a bit awkward to pay guys. $200k for Hunter is just good business. Easily would lead to coaching bonuses that surpasses that in the right situation, plus revenue.
Imo this “ROI” stuff is just for us poor people. Rich people haven’t been donating 6 and 7 figures on buildings for ROI. They’re called donors, rather than investors for a reason. (Although I’ve hoped our ADs would try the latter given our shallow donor pool. Pollard and Light gives me some hope). Even the common fan, we haven’t been footing the bill with increased tickets and parking because of ROI.
The bottom line for me is that it makes me feel blackmail-y and I don’t like that feeling so I don’t like this.
If you can get your name put on a building, that can probably get out as a business expense in some cases. Like the sukup endzone, their business is named Sukup. It can possibly give some return as being an AG school and it being called the sukup endzone and the name prominently displayed on the building.
I also think the author listed just about every school under the sun because it then probably appears on those schools 247 fan sites. Sport click bait.
Point taken, but that $650,000 is from 6 years ago. He makes 3.3 million this year.
It’s a step change. I’m for it, but it is awkward.
It will be a **** show until the entire concept of ADs are different, because it will take an actual overall entity with power to regulate. Hard to do with state entities
Because it’s not real. To steal a line…
“Nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in ******* circles, least of all stockbrokers, right? It’s all a fugayzi, you know what a fugayzi is?”
“Fugayzi. It’s fake.”
"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not ******* real.”
Naming rights are different than donors, although the people behind often overlap. I wouldn’t call MidAmerican donors.
We need to do more than that. The NEZ could/can have been sold to a developer to turn profits while ISU AD gets a nice lease for its needs. Similar to entertainment plans. Is it a concern to give away too much future revenue growth? A little, but the AD is live to its means. I think you could cap how much the developer makes with a buyout clause if things go THAT well for ISU that we hit our revenue ceiling on the deal. A good problem to have
I was just pointing out that some of the names put on building can create a ROI. You sponsor an engineering building and then recruit at that school, talent may look at you as being successful and want to work for your company and other things like that.
There are certainly business that get some level of ROI on naming. Same with player NIL and endorsement. Schools that best implement ways to connect that actual marketing to players will do best in the real NIL. How do you get our PGs name tied to a company better than others?
But we’re all talking about donor NIL- the most damaging. They’re donors so it’s not really NIL or ROI. Just pay to play
You see donors endow professorships or AD position or coaching position and soon roster positions.
9 of the 10 guys they ran that system with went to the NBA. That could happen again but that wasn’t the argument. It was whether 10 other guys would be okay just sitting at the end of the bench knowing they could be starting elsewhere.
