This is the thing about NIL and how it changes things.

Back in the good ol' days when people like Ole Miss were giving recruits backpacks full of cash it was individual people.

Now with NIL it can be individuals donating money to a collective, it can be a business essentially getting players to advertise, or it can former athletes.

Back in the day when one of our baseball players wanted to help the program they donated a fence like Will Clark or they just built an indoor facility with their name on it like Palmeiro did. Going forward schools are going to ask former players to donate money to NIL for recruiting purposes instead. So like when MSU goes to Landon Sims, Ethan Small, etc. instead of asking them to help build some more skyboxes it's going to be help aid the cause for NIL.
