Yep.
Good for FedEx. They did what they should've done.
Yep. When your state has no Fortune 500 companies ...
And I don't blame them one bit. They give to the things that matter and make real money. I love sports but it is entertainment only. Sports don't pay any bills, actually sports creates bills in 99% of households. The degree that does life supporting things is more important.
Let the rich sports alumni give to their college of sports? Oh wait, no one will do that just expect the engineers, business and education majors to foot the bill.
Can you imagine the outcry from athletics if engineering came crying to sports to fund them? Can yall see the hypocrisy? This is what is wrong with our culture. This is what led to the fall of the Roman empire.
As I've said repeatedly, the house of cards will crumble one day; the sports ballon will burst.
We have some big companies in MS but those companies invest in the schools that actually give them a return. Those companies invest plenty in the schools that impact what they do in business and sports ain't it. Sports continues to have its hand out dependent on the real money makers in the world.
We choose to spend our entertainment household money on supporting sports but that could end tomorrow. This money is all discretionary money from each household budget.
How much of the TV money does MSU put into the NIL?
College sports is just turning into another professional sports league(minor league at best). My question is why do we need more professional sports? The best of the best are already in mlb,nfl,nba,etc.. We're reaching the point now where minor leaguers(college athletes) are going to be making ridiculous salaries. The bubble has to burst at some point.
But what are we doing to outside of hitting people and businesses up for NIL money?. Ole Miss Athletics is scheduling one or two Stadium concerts a year. They are going ton make well over $1Million for Athletics for Morgan Wallen part 2. Charlie cant do it all by himself.
We are entering a very dark period for MSU sports unfortunately
Toyota is a Fortune 500 Global company. Matter o' fact they're top 10. I'm sure there are probably others if you look hard enough. Sanderson Farms was in it as recently as 2021.
Let?s hope. It?s certainly not as interesting as it used to be. More the transfer at will aspect but the emphasis on pay has contributed as well. The original spirit of NIL is not what we are getting. We are getting a pool of money from wherever then paying people for a year of play. From what I?ve seen few, if any, are actually using their name image or likeness for anything or any business.
So the organizations that make the most off a players Name Image and Likeness of the Athletes don't use any of the Millions they get for the NIL. But Joe and Jane Blow are expected to pay even after shelling out hundreds of dollars to attend a game. What do the Schools contribute to the NIL.
