Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5127397, member: 12253"] please don't shoot me - this is not a shot at UConn. I just find the current crowdsourcing nature of NIL funding to be a bit weird. Universities are/were supposedly making money off the kids' labor, hence this revolution - why are they not paying the kids? I paid for my ticket, hot dogs, parking passes, ESPN+ streaming, cable bill, etc. They made & kept the conference money & ticket/concession money. But private donors are still on the hook for paying the kids...........? Is this NIL collective thing just a temporary bridge to the final model, where the Uni's themselves are cutting checks to the kids? Just feels like a charade right now. [/QUOTE]
