NIL - how many fans could / would pay $25 per month?
15,000 X 25 X 12 = $4.5 M
-
Could and would are two totally different asks.
Unless you are just totally down on your luck, you can afford $25 a month.
Could ? I would say about 95%+ of people who consider themselves fans of State athletics.
Would? Maybe 2%.

Anybody who refuses to give $25 a month should never come on here and complain about our teams.

I thought the NCAA was making billions off the players and many of you thought the players should be getting that money instead of the NCAA.
Well, what happened to that money? Why are we needing to raise more billions?
Just asking.

Funny how this has all worked out, huh?
TV contracts grow by millions each year. MSU (and every other school) raise ticket prices, ask for seat donations, tuition increases, housing increases...

Yea I?m not giving a penny. There should be a salary cap per school paid from sec distribution.

Could this even be done? Would you have to create a business to actually do this? Curious how this would be different that just paying recruits in the past

That money is largely committed to debt service for insane facilities and expenses for the program. Going to take a while for schools to scale back spending so they can adjust to money going to NIL deals rather than to athletic foundations more or less controlled by the school.

So basically the NCAA is creating the equivalent of mob bosses saying "I'm a legitimate businessman."
-
The NCAA didn't create this mess. The Supreme Court did.
-
Mississippi States athletic revenue for 20-21 was $112million
$42.5 media rights.
$35m of conference distributions.
$12m of donations
$5m of ticket sales.
State could stop requiring seat license fees in hopes of giving to NIL. States revenues would still be almost double than in 2014.

Isn't the Bulldog club for this? The NIL is supposed to be where the athlete can garner monies for use of his/her likeness.

And this money was supposed to come from businesses. Evidently businesses are smarter than the common fan and see that significant money for all players is a loser for the business. So now the plan is to siphon more Money from loyal families of the universities?

Negative... I'm not sure what you mean by how could this be done? Charlie IS doing IT.
Your right. part of it is paying signees... it's just legal now.

Bulldog club is for scholarship's. coaching salaries and other things. NOT NIL.. that's completely separate and NOT run by the school.

We are entering year 2. I wouldn't be so quick to call businesses smarter... more creative ways just need to be found...

Who will be enforcing that the $ being given to the players is really for NIL? Some figures being thrown around to HS players are more than some professional players. At least the NFL has a salary cap. Are most of these NIL deal$ for one year only? What if they don't play a down their freshman year or are a total bust, they transfer out and cut a new deal with another team that hopes year one was a fluke. How can a HS player most of the country has never heard of be worth millions? How is he or she going to have time to be a "student athlete" and earn his NIL obligations. Pandora's Box of college sports is open to not be closed.

Good post, unfortunately I think we can take the 'student' out of student athlete. NCAA has created total chaos. Clueless in my opinion.
