No, NIL is the new football boosters, or above table version of what was under the table. I donate to my alma mater (not ND) and I try and pick local charities that might be a bit under-served such as our local mental health society.
I respect others choices 100%, it’s your money, you work for it and should put it where it most represents your beliefs and values.
No and noIf not, are you planning to in the future?
Why or why not?
I understand, it’s not as if the NIL’s help kids afford books or a coat in the winter to stay warm, they are used so players can drive quarter million dollar cars or live in penthouses (see Caleb Williams).No. Waste of money but as scuba mentions…everyone has a choice to put their money where they wish.
Considered NIL but I’m not interested in supporting 18-22 year old prima donnas that say they love a university then a year later…pooof, gone. ”Student” athlete is now a joke mostly. I support the laundry (school), not the individual athlete benefits. If there is some better structure to NIL and guidelines, maybe that will change In my future giving. If someone else wants to give them money for an autograph or pay them for a commercial promo, then by all means. We are still in America.

Selling out stadiums in El Paso, Texas. is football driven.No. Never will.
I donate to the university, and their programs that I believe in ... such as The Boler-Parseghian Center for Rare and Neglected Disease at ND, the ND Mathematics Department (I, my daughter and son-in-law are all mathematicians)
College athletics is ,I believe, just an extracurricular activity.. Important, yes, but no more important than the other courses that make up the mission of the university.
The players need to stay focused on a piece of that scholarship. That's where their money will be.Not all NILs are run the same. Not every program is USC or A&M.
And until players can get a cut of all that TV money, this is where we are.
