Message: [QUOTE="Kembafan, post: 4776655, member: 13010"] This 100%. We should look at NIL as an opportunity for UConn football. It might seem counterintuitive but NIL flattens the landscape. UConn doesn’t have a huge winning football tradition to sell to recruits, but if you show the money you can get good players. If that’s the only barrier now, well that’s much less than in the past. Of course I know it’s not easy to just come up with millions but we were doing that anyway funding all these facilities we built. The hockey team got a $48m arena for chrissakes. We can find $5-6m per year for football NIL (and probably for a good oc and dc). And once we get the players and start winning it’ll be easier to get more. Money follows success. And after a few winning seasons we should be attractive to a p4. Is this pie in the sky thinking? Maybe but I don’t think so. It’s just a matter of putting money in the right place. [/QUOTE]
