Never’s a long time.
I dislike speculating too much about the future, but if I were forced to do so, I would speculate that at some point, RU will find a way to fund NIL at the same or better level than the elite B1G teams and that will raise RUFB up much, much higher within the conference.
NIL and pay for play makes this possible, where it wasn’t before. But it may take quite some time for RU to find the initial funding. I am pretty sure it won’t be through individual small donations initially, but through businesses. Eventually, if RU can win enough for a decade or so, then there will be more fans and more of those fans will wish to contribute.
The trick will be to find that first infusion of competitive NIL funding.
