To "Athletics " or to “NIL”?

“The Williams’ gift also includes $100 million for Spartan Ventures, a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation set up to raise funds for the athletic department.”

These non-profit corporations are fronts for NIL, so $100 million to NIL. Sparty is gonna spend big.

They need something! Their program, which used to be so good in FB, has really gone downhill in recent years…

They need it because they’ve became the worst Big 10 team as soon as Mel Tucker talked dirty in the phone to Brenda Tracy, the LAST person anybody would common sense would think of doing.

No doubt. They almost make Wisconsin look exciting by comparison.

That is only 2 years NIL for TT.

14 largest donations.

this was probably in the top 25 and so much of this to athletics, i imiagine this is just getting started. ironic, pro sports used to be the only way to own your own team.

Don’t worry. All credible gossip columnists cite their sources. Keep up the good work. Waiting on something out of college station.
