You sure do have some big elaborated opinion on donating 34 dollars to help recruiting. 34 doesnt even fund taco bell night around my house.

I’m sure I would hate your finances.

And who is "they"?

You’re a big boy. I think you can figure it out.

Well you have already demonized "they" for making the average joe fork the NIL bill while acknowledging funds cannot come from Auburn. So who is the they?

My finances are fine and my work ethic is better. Free-riding and stinginess are uncharacteristic of my character as well. Ladies I also like walks on the beach.

It would be interesting to see the rule and how it's intended. The one that says the university can not contribute to NIL.

---

Don't know if it answers your question completely, but it does include some answers. Also seeing this, confirms there are a lot of violations happening.

So If the university is not able to offer the NIL money and a booster is not able to directly contact a possible player, who is facilitating "and discussing" the NIL terms to the players and the families before they sign on the dotted line?

I’m not demonizing anybody. They can do what they want.

You've already acknowledged they arent allowed to contribute.

Nobody knows what the frick you are talking about.

I debate every time whether you’re being obtuse or dumb.

Universities can’t fund it because of the rule put in place by the universities. And yes I know you’re going to come back with “the universities don’t make the rules” because you’re either dumb or obtuse.

I just dont get the point of this rant. "They" arent even in charge and wont be collecting a profit. You're "obtuse". Another note: all that shite you paid for served your own interest or else you wouldn't pay. I don't feel sorry for you.

You pay for tickets. They make profit on that.

You pay for a tailgate. They make a profit on that.

You pay for merch. They make a profit on that.

You pay for cable. They make a profit on that.


Now they have an extra expense that cuts into a small portion of the profit for major programs. The rule is structured where all that profit is not allowed to be used and the average Joe has to fund that expense for them “to be able to compete”.

bullshite. Every fan should say frick no to that. If you have frick you money then do what you want with it but anybody that still has to work to live/save for retirement should not be paying a dime.

Everyone here complains about the huge buyouts and coaches getting paid for not coaching. That’s the money that should be getting cut into. Not your pocket.

You fund it, you’re enabling it. Rant over.

From AUcs13, he made a good post on the recruiting thread

Again you can make an argument either way. I’m financially comfortable and able to do it without pinching pennies. It’s essentially $1.10 a day each month, not breaking anyone’s bank. If donating $34 a month is financially undisciplined I don’t know what to tell you lol. But I’m in a position where I don’t live paycheck to paycheck so it’s different for other people.

I just think that if you care enough about Auburn and Auburn Athletics to dedicate personal time throughout the week to discuss it then donating $34 a month isn’t a wild concept.

It’s not hard to understand.

1. Corporation A charges $10 for a product. Makes a $5 profit.
2. Costs for the product go up $1.
3. Corporation can choose to charge $11 for the product or eat into their profit and make $4 now.
4. Most corps are going to raise the price to $11 and maintain their $5 profit or even increase their profit by charging $12.
5. The only control on that is what the customer is willing to pay. If the $12 price is too much, customers stop buying. That’s when the corporation considers eating the cost themselves.

Answer key for you: Corporation is the collection of major universities. The customer is average Joe fan. The cost increase is NIL.

They aren’t in control? how quickly did the NIL AL law change when everyone found out it was going to be a disadvantage to Auburn/Alabama?

Just an all time great comeback here. I’m honestly embarrassed for you putting this in there. I know you are but what am I?

You clearly missed the entire point. I don’t know what you’d feel sorry for me about. They can make a profit. I pick and choose what I pay for and make sure I get value out of everything I purchase. Unfortunately it’s usually those without the means to pay for things that don’t do that.

You’re going to end up paying $34 a month. Every other school will do the same thing and we’ll be in the same boat competitively that we were before. Except you’ll be paying more for it. If that’s what you want to do, go ahead. I don’t care.
