Everyone worried about NiL…are you helping? We have a far reaching and national fan base. Everyone sign up for the collective. Lowest tier is $18 a month. You spend more than that on one trip to Wendy’s.

Call me crazy, but hell no. And I never will. I just spent $18 on. Murder, She Wrote cookbook. I’d rather set it on fire than give $18 a month to pay an 18 year old to come play at Bama. Sorry but not really sorry.

I don’t plan on ever donating to an NIL fund, it’s not my job to compensate players. In two years time NIL collectives will be rather moot with revenue sharing anyway

I’ve been around a handful of high end boosters for a former PAC school. One was giving the players free truck leases, the other that had about 100X his wealth said “screw that, it’s just entertainment for me” and had no intention to donate. At the end of the day you can scrounge most of the NIL from a handful of the big money guys so I’m not too concerned on that front but you should never assume everyone is donating

If the Universities want to go a compensation for play route, they have the legal avenue to begin such a thing. Otherwise I think it’s disingenuous for a multi billion dollar university to scrounge scraps off lower and middle income individuals so RB #7 can drag race in a Dodge Charger
