They donate a few (or several) mil $ to their Alma mater for a tax deduction but NIL is not 501c3.

Billionaires may like CFB, but they hate throwing their money in the trash. That's what giving a 18 year old kid a NIL deal is, throwing money in the trash.

If you're worth multiple billions and care about football, you're going to look at buying a NFL franchise, not some 5* QB who's gonna transfer next year.

Technically I think Yellowman is a billionaire now. And the Harbert’s as a family have that much but not any one member of the family. The thing missing from this is assuming billionaires in a state support the local school. And some don’t care about athletics. The Frist’s in TN are Vandy grads.

Doesn’t take billionaires to compete in NIL, especially when billionaires who actually give serious money to athletics (Oregon) are rare.

And as was discussed in the original 3 page thread about that, it is a pretty silly way to measure these sorts of things.


Oh man I thought I was imagining things. I knew I had posted in this thread already but couldn't find it.

Apparently it didn't work well enough the first time so trolls had to start it again.

This is what they tweeted.

The upshot of why Alabama football is doomed in the new NIL model - number of billionaires living in each state:
Alabama - 0
Ohio - 7
Georgia - 18
Texas - 73
Florida - 78
California - 186

And this won't increase parity. It just means a handful of schools will dominate even more.

The CEO of Apple is an Auburn grad. Explain that one dumb arse.

Delete your account, because you're retarded. I've seen so many al.com posts about that guy at Auburn games.

Auburn probably would get some extra cash from Timmay if they put a dildo in every player's locker.

Underestimate captains of industry like Phyllis from Mulga and Pee Wee from Grand Bay at your own peril, sir.

Doesn't live in Alabama and it looks like he is more concerned about LGBTWTFBBQ charities than NIL.

Its what Saban knew when he came to LSU, you put a wall around Louisiana, cherry pick what you lack from a particular class outside the state and you will have consistent top ranked classes and compete for NC's...

One of the most humorous things about this is being being poor.
