$1 million match means one more big donor and it's a $2 million NIL fund.

That's large.

TJD and Fino got what I assume is a pretty sizable Adidas deal.

Is it even for the football team or for 24 sports 1 team?

Knowing IU, it’s for 24 sports 1 team. I’d be shocked if it’s anything but that.

This was for football only. From what I understand we don't need to have a drive for IUBB to raise NIL funds.

That would be a substantial boost for our football program. Nowhere near an OSU or Michigan stratosphere, but better than before in a real way.

That would be fantastic. $2 mil is a step in the right direction

An old coach of mine is retired and was mentoring a kid in HS who is a kicker. Ol’ Miss/Kiffen “offered” him $500k/yr on the spot at a camp. 
 

A kicker. 
 

I relay that to give you an idea of the “stratosphere “ UM/OSU/SEC is in.

But, but, but I've read on message boards that the players don't actually do anything to earn NIL money. How is this possible? Message boards are never wrong since they're in the internet.

Remains to be seen if anything changes. I doubt it does.

It’s always funny to see “NCAA” and “ enforcement” in the same sentence.

Who knows, maybe the NCAA will indeed get aggressive by looking past the SEC, as an example, while really nailing/punishing a school like North Alabama or Middle Tennessee State.

Nice to see a collective's numbers.

If they spent it all and evenly (which they didn't) that'd be a little over $150,000 per athlete.
