Am I correct in understanding that the NIL analysis does not account for individual player deals where the money comes directly from wealthy boosters or corporate sponsors? if this is only collective NIL, the numbers are meaningless.

It doesn’t include deals signed with a major company like Nike that does it for legitimate advertising reasons, but it would take into account wealthy boosters. It’s not meaningless.

I have no interest in contributing towards paying players, beyond the required donations for seats and parking...... If any of that money reaches them, so be it

And I remain as one of the most loyal fans as far as attending games, with the hopes of doing so for decades more

I feel no conflict on this, and consider myself as good a fan as any

And you should consider yourself such

So you are jealous of a man making a living in his chosen field!

Absolutely not. Pikiell is a great person. He has earned a great living. I just don't like people telling me what to do with my money. It's not a huge deal, but Pikiell has mentioned donating many times. He is living in a brand new world. I agree with a lot of posters that feel like their purchases of tickets, etc, should be enough. We have been loyal to this program for a long time. Part of it is an NIL problem. But guess what? There was a huge issue before NIL as well with players not seeing anything and playing for billion dollar corporations.

The problem is that your loyalty has actually caused the situation.
Athletic Departments used your loyalty to subsidize any spending they wanted without regard to their actual finances or concern for financial responsibility.

“We really want to build a field house. We need it to compete. But…….you have to pay for it. It’s all in you if we build it and succeed. It’s not our fault.”

“The coach we hired stinks. But we can’t afford to get rid of him. Oh well guess we’ll just continue to stink. Unless………”

“Players have finally realized they are woefully under compensated. Well…..fans you know what you need to do. Pay them. We can’t part with any of our money.”

NY Giants didn’t send out emails “we want to build a new training facility but fans need to fund it. We want to fire HC Joe Judge but fans need to fund his contract.”
