what if we found your posts here so informative and by jt

enlightening and we decided to start a crowd fund for you, to reward you for your efforts? With the traffic this site gets, it wouldn't take much to move the needle here.

Would that be fair? Now it would be you making the money. In that situation, would you be okay with it?

Now, we can hide behind these silly sorts of examples all day long, but the reality is that the money behind these deals is coming from exactly where Nick Saban says that it is coming from; he didn't brag about 7 figure NIL money for his qb who "has never started a game" coming from some sort of crowd funding. He bragged about it coming from larger, major endorsements of national products (and Climpsun followed suit with their qb--who has only started a few games--getting a doctor Pepper endorsement). The real money is from the Nike, Gatorade, Addidas, UnderArmour, etc. That's the money that had been going to schools and coaches.
