McFeely's Tip Sheet: NDSU working toward Alston payments for athletes

[SDbison]

Go to fancave.me and give money directly to your favorite college athlete! If they end up NOT attending the school of your choice, you get your money back! If you are against this for college athletics then you Hate Capitalism! and are A Communist! Which is weird, as I'm against this, and I am the Right Wing of the Right Wing.

. Why would anyone do this? Has nothing to do with capitalism. Why not donate to the poor.

Great to hear that we are getting this done. Of all the BS we are seeing nationally in regards to NIL, rewarding student athletes for staying on pace to graduate is fantastic. Being a DI athlete regardless of scholarship status is a year round job. Hopefully we can get this fully funded so we can provide the max amount for everyone. Despite our disastrous Cheer squad situation, it would be great if they could eventually get this as well.

It's a big win for everyone. For as critical as I've been of Matt Larson, this is the stuff he is great at. Whoever the donor is... big ovation!

Its nice to see reward for grades rather than NIL for a influencer ad post.

Actually I think its "the moops."

We can all disagree with ML on some things, but his statement at the end of the article is spot on......I'm sick of folks overlooking that the athletes are supposed to be getting an education while at NDSU. He nailed that quote. Well done, ML.

Maybe Matt should be the director of fundraising, NIL issues and student-athlete retention. and then get an A.D. who focuses on athletic strategy and vision and hiring a good MBB coach.

And just like that...Boom! Another 6 figure position that doesn't add value to the end product. (education)
