NILs have nothing to do with season tickets. It's their rich alum, big NILs

and filthy rich TT donors who are paying for these players. Texas is loaded with millionaires and rich alum. It doesn't matter if their university is losing $$ in softball every year, it's the outsiders who are paying for these players NILs. Based on what we are seeing, VT doesn't have big NILs or enough rich alum to donate to VT softball to help us recruit the top players in the country. That's the reality.

I thought the NCAA rules prohibit boosters from contacting players at all?

Apparently it’s a club coach doing the dirty work so “legal” technically**
