Yeah, I'm inclined to be skeptical until I see it.

NIL has nothing to do with bike trails and nature parks. They'll pass on athletes.

Would make some fans think hard when shopping.

Same way Tim Cook doesn't associate Apple with Auburn in any way.

If Walmart and Tyson join in on this then game over for everyone else.

Aggies are even poor compared to those companies

This is a good idea.

Is it? Or, is it just a way for the Waltons and such to write off their "investment". I'm betting it will be structured similar to Texas funneling money to players via a charitable organization.

Feels like we have great leadership for the first time in a long time

HY wants to win, unlike certain grandstanding Yankees

Of course it is. You didn’t expect them to put up big bucks without being able to use it for tax deduction, did you?

Should just go to a NIL salary cap


Since it's not the schools directly paying out the money to the players, how would that work? The NIL is more like a NFL player have endorsements, making commercials, etc.. That doesn't affect a team's salary cap.
