Not a penny.

Would take steps to ensure my family was taken care of, enjoy the good life, and look to invest or donate monies in endeavors that actually hold societal value.

Buying players for a sporting event isn't really a priority.

The funny thing is that you can pretty much hit generational wealth at $10M. That is my goal, so everyone is taken care of when I die.

You’d quickly become broke.

Just not sure why all this buying players stuff isn't making the left scream about "slave trading!"


Good point

It depends on if only the coach has control over them.

And if 90% of my money goes towards Oline.

The kind of people that buy players for NIL have money that replenishes itself every day. Like own a successful business making big money, or oil wells, etc...

Probably not to buy a recruit or transfer, but I'd throw in a mil or two to retain a star player that has been loyal to the school and deserves it.

I would donate $0.

I can find people who actually need help instead of paying for some entitled football player.

100 millions dollars would insulate me emotionally from the Longhorns’ second half implosions and humiliating losses. So, after the Oklahoma loss, the Sooner faithful would have to return to Oklahoma. Longhorn fans would have to go back to the liberal hell hole of Austin, TX. I on the other hand, would be in the South Pacific, in my beautiful home in paradise, by the ocean. So the answer is, “Oh, heck no!”

This. If I've made 100 million dollars I have at the very least a hint of an idea how return on investment works. If I pay cam Newton 2 million dollars there's no promise he will even be here next year, also if tennessee wins a national championship they aren't gonna give me shite.

Elon Musk has Trillions of $hekels and he & SpaceX are now close partners with Louisiana & Louisiana State University (LSU) with his new, gargantuan Space Hub - StarBase La.!!

As Ed Ogeron famously said:

"We Commin"!
