Tech has now established a NIL Fund.

Call it a consequence of living in Iowa your whole life. Iowa = Med School, Law School, Iowa State = Ag, Engineering. Didn't occur to me that the two could be combined under one academic umbrella
Nah let’s keep the corn here, grow our ethanol industry, and feed the cattle here with corn and ethanol bi-products. Small-medium sized Iowa farmer-feeder can feed the animal cheaper and produce a higher quality product than the southern commercial feedlots.
There’s a slippery slope - when the womens programs start wanting a cut of NIL. What a disaster this all is to organize

It's not a slippery slope.
This isn't that difficult, people. Title IX doesn't apply to NIL money. It's not coming from the schools. Period.
There are plenty of boogeymen out there in this new NIL landscape, but Title IX isn't one of them.
Yeah I have a friend who is $250k in debt and is a vet and he only makes 75k a year. Hes essentially paying off a house...
There will be public outcry about this but the schools and the NCAA's hands are far enough from the $$$ that it won't be there problem.
The same reason Nebraska years ago had FB players on track scholarships as sprinters and throwers. They could expand the number of football players that were getting paid to be on the team - and any player that is "playing" for them isn't playing against them.

Just like this article in today’s Gazette about Iowa’s “Swarm Collective.” Any athlete at Iowa is eligible to sign up, and every athlete will get the same stipend, whether it’s the starting QB or a reserve on the field hockey team. In exchange they have to help raise money for nonprofits.
I don’t see how this is necessarily a “name, image, and likeness” situation. Sure, somebody like Petras or Murray can use their fame to help the United Way, but a kid on the golf team or soccer team can’t do that, they’re going to have to volunteer to do actual work for a nonprofit. That’s not NIL, that’s pay-for-play.
Is that when he was trying to get ISU to do some land thing for him over in Africa? ISU didn't like the situation and bailed.
Yep. I suspect there will be some money for uniquely elite women's programs. I can imagine UConn basketball or Nebraska Volleyball having enough whales to send some money that way. Its why Russia pays women's Bball players well. Oligarchs like their womens teams..
Pretty sure he funded most or all of the Ag Entrepreneurship program at Iowa State.
I don't think so. His giving has been consistent over many years. Hires a lot of ISU grads.
