The daily NIL conversations are officially out of control .....these

amounts seem to grow by the hour, much less by the day. UCONN has nowhere near $50M in NIL for their three big sports. No where even in the stratosphere of that number :-). Not close. UCONN athletics has raised $149M total over the last five fiscal years. That is $30M per year from approximately 9,300 donors. They aren't raising $2 of NIL for every $1 of regular fundraising gifts. Yikes!!

The 1st rule of NIL is you can't talk about NIL...because nobody knows crap

What's known about NIL is by hearsay, brief contacts with survivors or even
