I will never give my hard-earned money to buy championships on any startup NIL level

"non profit NIL" etc., whatever the hell people are talking about on that...


I will donate to the Foundation for normal purposes when I know I'm getting something of equal value in return


The rest of my life savings will go to my family after I kill over in the back yard. It will also be used for people who are needy and have no place to turn or to feed their kids, and I don't do enough of that as is, so I'm a hypocrite for even mentioning it at this point.


But I'm not going to be some prideful idiot who thinks they "own" football players.

The worst sin is pride folks.

Hypothetical- what if we would donate but wouldn’t think we own the players?

I mean I could spare a little and not hurt any future gens. Plus, sometimes it’s nice to know exactly where your money is going instead of just a big bucket of whatever.

Guess I’m just saying I can see the draw- hypothetically.

Harry, what are your sources telling you about the status of the Pruitt lawsuit?

The October 29 settlement deadline came and went without much fanfare.

So did it bother you just as much for the last 100 years when some players had bag men and other under the table deals instead? God forbid we let kids make money on their own name, likeness, and image. All of that belongs to the school so they can pay coaches $10 million a year.

Sorry but your virtue is misplaced.

piggi, it's okay for girls to do it, because you all don't understand how to manage money in the first place

wasp, it's been one year now, officially, and Donde still hasn't actually said what Jeremy "did wrong"


I think Pruitt's law boy is waiting and letting the beans simmer and soften in the pot

Is the money you make man-whoring actually “hard earned?”

Hey now one of the best money managers I know is a woman - but it’s definitely not me, I grant you that.

Yeah, kinda- it was cheating. That said, I never cared about a $100 handshake. Maybe some see no difference but I see the former as a purchase and the latter as a tip.

College football is slowly losing their fanbase
Keep it up and see what it's like playing in mostly empty stadiums
Yes, you will always have tv revenue to fall back on but they are losing the fanbase which will hurt the overall pocketbook
