There's a lot going on in this thread. Everyone needs to stop being jerks about where and how people want to use their money. Nobody should be pressured into giving to the collective and nobody who isn't giving should be shaming the people who do. This isn't kindergarten.
Side note: I read here someone saying they thought college athletics were the last pure thing in sports and that stuck with me. College athletics (as a whole) haven't been pure in a very, very, very, very, very long time. There's an argument to be made that they have never been pure. It would probably be best for everyone's mental states to assume that they are not pure in the slightest anymore at their highest levels. Say what you want about the collective, but at least this stuff is mostly above board now. Elements of this have always been happening.
If anyone is looking for pure college athletics, Simpson's basketball team is 6-2 to start the season and it would be a great time to jump on the Storm bandwagon.
