I know one of the bigger donor families (friend of mine is my daughter's Godfather, so we have an actual relationship...not some cousins friends coworker deal) told me they as a family believe the NIL is ridiculous and it sound like they don't have interest in donating.

Not sure if that is the general consensus among people, but it's not something that people seem excited about.

Question, are NIL donations tax deductible? A lot big donors give solely for the tax break.

It tough, specifically in this economy. I'm work in healthcare and my wife is an attorney, so we'd be on the upper end of family income in the state, and it's hard for us to justify donating to an unknown cause.

We will struggle as a fanbase and university to compete as long as the system is under it's current set up. State would for sure be dead last in donations from what it looks like...there's not one school that we should be able to donate more than....we're soooo much smaller than most.
