The unfortunate situation is because of how the rule is written with schools not being able to direct funds to athletes, it matters not one iota how much cash the AD has on their balance sheet. If anything the university soliciting donor funds for their own projects like the stadium renovations and new football facility directly impacts how much money can go into our NIL pool from our top end donors. The school is in essence competing against ABM/NIL for dollars.I don't know. Selfishly, I would think this would put us in a good position. Not many athletic departments are as cash rich as UNL. We used to have the weightlifting/training edge for decades, then everyone caught up.
We've been needing a new edge since the Solich days, and this could be it. Pump the cash into the collective, hype it up, and watch the 4/5 stars come calling.
Do you guys wanna win or not? If you donate, they will come.
I agree with you this is the exact thing we’ve been waiting for. Tennessee is doing exactly what NU should be doing. A guy like Dylan Raiola should have a $5-$10M deal on the table at NU. Instead we’re talking about losing him to OSU, Mathis to Texas, etc. NU does not have the athletic culture or want to go really compete in NIL in terms of “pay for play” IMO. We will do things the “right” way because that’s who Nebraska is and we’ll wind up being able to not afford the top end players and continue the mediocrity
