How much money are we supposed to donate? Used to be just Team Makers and Alumni association. Now NIL and this? Where does it stop?

I think that the continuing professionalization of college athletics is one piece of the apathy puzzle that we're seeing with Bison Football and Basketball. Students have mostly lost interest in it... as well as many older fans. Not saying that NDSU shouldn't do this... because there's maybe no choice. I am in favor of giving each player an allowance so that they can go to a movie or get something to eat.
USC did the endowment thing with all 22 starters on their football team several years ago. Individuals in the stands feel like they own a player on the field. See how that's helped them? A once-great program has basically collapsed.
If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.
It's obvious why NDSU is looking into this and that's because UND announced they were doing it last summer.
As long as college athletics continue to be a billion dollar industry all these things will continue to happen. If you don't like it don't contribute your dollars to it - if enough feel the same way the pendulum will swing back towards pure amateurism when the dollars dry up. Something tells me that won't happen though... we'll all whine and complain but continue to say "take my money!" while doing it.
Lakes Neg repped me again
He said...
"You actually wrote this publicly? You and the rest of the nerds here are the reason NDSU is failing. Us D1 fans from"
Apparently I'm D2 because I want to see us funded like the FBS schools do. Lakes is small time. He doesn't approve of NIL or cash payments. I'm sure the players and recruits dont want an extra $5950 straight cash homey.
We should operate like a small school
