Wonder if Dan, Mike and some others have thrown some cash into the kitty. We are in a pickle. We don't have a lot of big time donors, and the smaller peon donors like me can't afford huge amounts. Thus, do we continue to give to the BG, or do we pull those funds and allocate them to a specific sports NIL? Tough decision.
Currently, for the regular fans there is not really a benefit to donate to the NIL.
There is the ThunderTrust where you can donate basically $20 dollars a month, but that is small change.
Also, regular fans cannot write off NIL donates since they are not tax exempt. From that point, the Big Green is still the best route for personal finance.
Now for companies, those are the ones needed for NIL contributions. Besides the larger amounts/gifts they can donate, they can place their NIL contributions and it be a part of their budget for marketing and can use it as well for their tax benefits for advertising.
Would expect a lot of changes with the rules in the next 16 months with the NCAA though.
