[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1099534, member: 17953"] Your last sentence covers it. It's like I said way back when it began. I was told by a friend a U Texas that they had donors that were ready to hand out $50k for every lineman they brought in under scholarship. It wasn't one or two good ones; it was to stock the shelves 3 deep by position if possible. I heard rumors that there was around $1 mill for just that position alone. Then I found out that there were also walk-ons who were getting that kind of money because they wanted to make sure the shelves were stocked after the present season's players graduated and moved on. It's impossible to follow the NIL money in Texas. So much of it comes from private sources. The link I'm providing is for University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Went D-1 in football this past season and ended up being a decent team. The NIL money shown for them at this point is just the tip of the iceberg because of how much money is coming in from people with way too much money to burn, mostly from oil and cattle. Rumor has it they're looking to reach top 20 NIL spending within the next 4 years so they can be a national power like the Longhorns. They have a smaller stadium but there is talk about a nice domed stadium down the road which could include all indoor sports events and include a lot of opportunities for businesses. Since Edinburg, Texas is one of the fastest growing cities in the US, and it's a wealthy city with inexpensive living by national standards, it's a natural draw for increased business representation. It's constantly growing. You're going to be surprised how this little upstart college has decided they want to ring the bell.
