Message: [QUOTE="Sportsman5, post: 4454438, member: 1005"] Correct. NIL is huge and will only get larger. We will lose out to the top 10-15 programs due to this. HOWEVER, UConn has some major boosters that most schools don't have and UConn owns the state of Connecticut which is a very wealthy state overall. So we can out compete most programs in the P5 with NIL deals from local businesses and boosters once we get everything organized. Plus UConn is a brand name that national companies would want to include if they are sponsoring college athletes. Mora knows this and that is one of the reasons he came to UConn. So we are in a great position overall, but we need to improve the quality of the football program on the field to maximize the NIL benefits. If we win 8-10 games next year, then we will start attracting the attention of the casual fan and everyone in Connecticut will start to take notice. [/QUOTE]
