Athletes getting $100k in Olympicsports, $200k, the Poly QB getting $8 MILLION from Tennessee.
That $49 per month is going to make a real dent.
It's over... just waiting for the final buzzer.

If we don't change and adapt to the new play-for-pay world in college athletics, we will be div 2 or lower in a few years. The P-4 schools and the NCAA have destroyed amateur athletics but if we have no NIL in men's hoops, we will not get quality 3-star players to come to LB. I wouldn't say I like the NIL but I joined it in hopes our men's basketball will be competitive in the BW and stay in Div 1. Previous Message
Bottom line is the NCAA is corrupt and always has been. Just is worse now.
The power conferences will be the d leagues for football and basketball. They will churn out athletes who won't be able to read. Education for athletes at the power conference schools will be a joke. Sad part is the parents of these athletes will add to the problems and agents will get involved. When the athlete hires an agent they are considered pro. We'll see what happens.
Schools like LBSU should not yet get involved in this stuff. We should not bother with NIL as that will just be lost donations for us
LBSU needs to continue to emphasize education and a family atmosphere to attract athletes. We do not need those that are going to use NIL money to hopscotch from one school to another. We need to better what we have and move forward in that way.
As I have said before I do not and will not donate to any NIL collective here. And if they start to emphasize that I will no longer donate to LBSU athletics.
