100%. I can only imagine what donor fatigue will look like in a few seasons and have to imagine majority of collectives will dry up unless those that are running them are being responsible now to reap the benefits tomorrow.

I have no problem passing on a guy like Joey Hart if his price tag was too high. I'd rather have 5 guys at the 20k mark that 1 guy at 100k.

I think it's already happening, too. Seen a lot of accounts with HM avatars say those words specifically.

That is why we're going to see a massive sprint towards employment. I also still have a bad feeling they power fuckos are going to just harpoon the whole thing and ruin the NCAAT.

Donor fatigue is absolutely going to be an issue, and might be the thing that even brings the blue bloods to the table as far as reigning NIL in a bit.

Somebody is going to spend the amount of money that could fund our entire AD for a decade just on the 2024-2025 season and get a championship out of it. They're going to be very happy. A lot of other people are going to spend that same amount of money and go 7-13 in the B1G and SEC. They're not going to be happy.
 
Graves and Co. slow moving this thing could turn out to be one of the genius roster moves of our time...
Say it again for the people on the back.

All the pearl clutchers that were posting here a few days ago like "what do you mean we don't have a full roster yet? What are we even doing!?" have been awful quite

Already started with the Play-In games, then "last 4 in", then changing NIT rules (for somewhere to put teams like us last year) - and now talking about expanding... and eventually, they will break it into two tournaments...

Turnover fatigue will be a big issue in the next couple years, too. I also think it will expose a bunch of coaches and in order to protect their profession, they'll lobby to find a way to get back to old transfer rules -- most likely "collective bargained" in exchange for a higher portion of revenue or something.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of "ownership" in the near future at the college level. Take our friends to west with "Dr." Chaifetz (how much of ego maniac do you have to be to be publicly referred to as "Dr" when you own an investment firm. Yes, I know he does have a doctorate, but it's a little ridiculous. Coming from a family with multiple Drs, they ALL hate being called Dr. outside of their actual patients.) but he is essentially funding SLU and trying to build their brand, i don't know what "benefit" he gets from it other than having his name on the side of the building (which he already paid for). I wouldn't be surprised to see 9 and 10 figure bank accounts start "funding" college teams and essentially building up programs like a business.

I'm still not sure how a voluntary association of schools, with voluntary players on athletic teams, is unable to make any rules for their voluntary members. But hey, it is what it is...

This is exactly the aspect of this whole problem that has bothered me.

The benefit is seeing your team win.

I mean if I hit a billion dollar Mega Millions or something, a pretty stupid amount of that would be going to ISU NIL. It's the same reason Phil Knight has dumped hundreds of millions into Oregon athletics. Your name on the building is cool...but also it's whatever. Your team contending/winning...that's the goal.
