Supporting NIL at UConn

[Chief00]

The millions of dollars in NIL on a yearly basis just does not seem sustainable except maybe for a few programs. It is a bit of a novelty now, but for rich boosters to continually fund the recruiting of 18-22 year old players who in turn may transfer to the next highest bidder seems like a losing proposition. It used to be thousands of $$ of illicit handouts and maybe a car.

The ship has sailed. Not a perfect ship but it is not returning to port.

NIL is generating lots of dollars for the players. UConn donors just raised $500k for football.

not the point. People thought it was going to mean kids not eating hamburger helper and wearing hand-me-down shoes. What it has really meant is a transfer fest to see who can be the biggest man on campus.
