Congratulations Paul

What a good guy. Hopefully more athletes are doing something similar with some of their money.
Having a front row seat to watch Myles trailblaze in the foundation space as a RU basketball player making an impact outside the court gave him a nice path to follow in.
Pike and Knight cultivating a nice off the court culture as many on the team are participating in noteworthy causes and some setting up their own operations too.
You are giving credit to Myles, Pike and Knight for what Mulcahy is doing?? Did Myles even have NIL money when he was here and donate to charities? I say good job Paul Mulcahy.
Mulcahy was already involved in philanthropic activities pre-NIL. you are right, not far to give all the credit to others.
Also giving the credit to Myles, Pike, and Knight is nice but does seem like a backhanded compliment to Paul.. Not surprising when we consider the source though...

Congratulations Paul, you're a winner on and off the court
👍

Kid is awesome
Also, "just the beginning"
Aka, I'm coming back.

Do you know Paul Mulcahy personally? If not, which you don’t, then how the hell do you know what he’s been doing with his life as it relates to his philanthropic endeavors? You make clown statement after clown statement it’s beyond belief. Based on what has been put out there about Paul, his family, upbringing, and religious background, I bet he’s been putting others first and giving back his entire life. Don’t think Myles, who is a class act, amazing person, and young bright kind in his own right, had to create any path for Paul to follow. You’re just too dense to give Paul props and keep it at that. You forgot to add the cheerleaders, water boy, guy who mops the sweat off the court, student managers, etc., as all those who helped mold Paul into who he is and what he stands for. Wish I could pay you to keep your thoughts inside your thick skull.
He's been called out for this type of behavior on the premium side. Glad to know you guys on the free board see the trend with said person too.
Silly hyperbole.
Only you can turn a positive post into a negative one lol. I replied to a post that said (paraphrasing) “hopefully more players are doing good things off the court”
One of the mods merged threads there was another one with more posts that was a different topic the poor moderation might’ve made the intent more confusing. Maybe didn’t idk

Kinda like how you assumed cam was great because of interviews or whatever it was you said about him. Guess you have different rules for yourself. TLDR past 6 words.
I replied specifically to someone who said something to the effect of hopefully other guys in doing positive things with NIL” so talking about other guys off court also seemed somewhat relevant in that one specific quotes reply post and not a general post in the thread (which I also made, posting the tweet).
Also fwiw, which I guess is nothing, I already spoke positively of Paul’s off court efforts (and indivually) while others bad mouthed them. Much more obvious a situation to post a complaint about Paul not being complimented but it’s hard to keep up with every thread so I get it

Wow.. That's an interesting post for this thread.
Now wouldn’t that be something if that’s the reason for the delay. That he’s working out final details on some philanthropic NIL deal and wants to announce it all at once.
Congratulations, Paul. Happy to see you win this award.
Could you please clarify exactly what you mean by "the misnomer"? Thanks.
So I’ve looked deeper into this after all these replies.
I have to eat crow and give props to RU Alum Jordan Belzer; in the past I’ve been harsh on him but he is a true Rutgers man. Very happy Paul won this award for RU exposure. As it turns out, Belzerlikely threw RU and Paul a bone and good press for the program as he is the co-founder of the NIL Summit (now that a backhanded compliment; but seems to be what’s happened here).
Paul’s non-profit was founded prior to his NIL deals and his philanthropic activity (that I could find) was giving food gift cards to 260 Rutgers students and facility Ops employees. Obv the non-profit did more with NIL. There are a few others ITT who said Paul is deserving/mentioned they were aware of his efforts so if I’m missing anything else I apologize and when that’s posted re-evaluate (I admit I may have missed something, already missed the RU connection so totally possible).
How would people analyze those efforts (which are good natured in their own right don’t get me wrong) to a list of NIL-specific non-profit and philanthropic work https://www.dreamfield.co/resources/10-ways-college-athletes-are-using-nil-for-good by other NIL athletes around the county?

Paul established the Grateful4 foundation when he was a freshman in 2020. Here’s the article from scarletknights.com.
Paul Mulcahy Aims to Inspire Others With Grateful4 Challenge
Story Links
On the court, Paul Mulcahy excelled in his debut season with the Scarlet Knights. Off the court, he was just as energetic about supporting his community. Fresh off that successful freshmen season, Mulcahy established an offseason social media campaign predicated on spreading gratitude and uplifting people’s spirits and mindsets as the world experiences the COVID-19 pandemic.Paul Mulcahy
Mulachy is using social media as a way of connecting with others across the globe. To accomplish his goals, he helped create the ‘Grateful4 Challenge’.
Paul Mulcahy
The challenge launched on Thursday evening, May 28th. Mulcahy got the ball rolling with his video, where he shared that he was grateful for his health, friends and family, the ability to play basketball, and having a safe place to sleep every nice.
Mulachy’s Scarlet Knights teammates were eager to support the initiative. Akwasi Yeboah (health, family and friends, having a roof over his head, having food on the table), Luke Nathan (health, supportive family, teammates and the opportunity to go to Rutgers) and Nick Brooks (health, friends and family, support system, passion to make a difference in society) were among the first to join in on the Grateful4 Challenge. Rutgers staff members also joined in on the initiative.
Head Coach Steve Pikiell
With the start of this challenge, Mulcahy hoped to inspire a chain reaction of selfless acts. The Bayonne, N.J. native and Gill St. Bernard’s product aims to have others join in by sending their own videos out on social media and helping to spread the message and is looking forward to hearing what everyone is grateful for.

Unbelievable... "Belzer likely threw RU and Paul a bone and good press as he is the co-founder of NIL Summit"..
So now you've decided that there was probably a conspiracy and Belzer influenced the 8 members of the selection committee, who have nothing to do with RU, to vote for Paul? Holy cow... Why do you have such an anti-Paul agenda?

I haven’t decided but as I said it seems likely from comparing the efforts of other NIL athletes.
Social media campaigns on gratitude and meals to 260 students/facility operations employees vs the efforts in the article I posted showing 10 figure contributions and investment to other more developed foundations, hospitals, marginalized communities, etc. It was the only conclusion I could see given what’s out of there.
I wouldn’t call it an agenda, I just dug deeper and this is what I found.
"I just dug deeper and this is what I found."
Yes, because you have an anti-Paul agenda and for some reason you seem to try to discount or discredit anything he's accomplished or that he receives praise for.
Seriously, of all the NIL athletes in the article that you linked to that you say have more impressive NIL charitable actions than Paul, only Blake Corum was among the six candidates in the NIL Summit awards for the award that Paul received. And your article states the following about Corum's NIL action...I'm not so sure it's as superior to what Paul has done as you want us to believe it is:
"Blake Corum recently partnered with a local Ann Arbor chocolate shop to raise money by appearing in person and meeting with customers while also serving the shop’s wares. Corum then donated 15% of the proceeds from the day to the Uniform Funding Foundation, which works to make sure underprivilegd children have uniforms to play sports."
Should have dug a little deeper. The article you referenced was from March of 2022.
