It's very possible that has already happened, and I'm sure it will become more common as we move forward. Imagine if someone like Chapo ran the collective. He would be offering money to Twin City athletes NDSU wasn't recruiting for some reason. That could get ugly.
But they do provide scholarship, room board, books, travel, coaching, Full cost of attendance. Huge investment that should be recouped.
