Not sure what the comment would be: That other MAC schools have more financial resources than we do? That's a shocker.
And while $6,000 a player doesn't sound like a lot of money compared to what's being thrown around these days, it's a lot more than $0. Be interested to know what form the post-graduate access to those funds looks like.
Frankly, I think that even Ball State could scrap together a measly $2M to fund something like that if they made it a priority.
But, will $6,000 make much of a difference in today's NIL landscape in targeting higher level players, or will it merely make the Quincy Adamses of the world less likely to go elsewhere to play?

What BSU backers could we seek? Corporations? Donors? Is $6,000 enough?

Not for sure that I would toss money at a MAC athlete 🤷‍♂️ in order to personally experience a “winning season”.
Do I get an extra hot dog at half time?
Paying athletes at a non-tier one level is just pissing $$ in White River.

Paying athletes at a non-tier one level is just pissing $$ in White River. I can envision a level of wealth where I would be willing to do that. But envisioning is the only experience I will ever have with that level of wealth. |

Paying athletes at a non-tier one level is just pissing $$ in White River. Certainly we can find better uses for hundreds of thousands of dollars than to fund second tier college basketball programs so their team will be better. On the flip side, could it be seen as a good investment if it gains the school notoriety, increases admissions ect. Look at Butler after going to the final 4, did they have a financial windfall due to merchandise and other revenue streams. Look at FAU in basketball now. I’m just curious if there is ROI for being really good. |

paying even a $10K "base salary" to every player on the roster would be chicken's feed compared to the money people are persuaded to donate for practice facilities and the like. And would have an immensely larger impact on the program.

People like to donate for named brick and mortar. Financing endowed scholarships or NIL isn't that cheap or easy to sell to donors. Difference making players would command more than $10K anyway. I'm not saying it's a bad policy to support the athletes that much but questioning the impact when everyone is doing it like the NCAA plan envisions. The idea of collectives is to pool resources and pay big bucks. So far we haven't seen BSU money available to do that. |
