You have made your opinion on women's sports very clear. It really isn't necessary that you do so on every thread.

He's right though.

Crazy that anyone would waste NIL dollars on girls basketball. Yeessh

Crazier that someone would turn it down

If you want a fun free sport to go watch that is competitive year in and year out for the most part, then go to Cajun Courts and watch the men's tennis team. They are fun, free and usually we are extremely competitive. This year the team looks to be pretty solid with a nice win over FGCU and a competitive match with UCF last week. This week they are on the road vs SMU on Sunday. They do not have allot of home matches this season, but they will be back in late February with a home match against LSU in Youngsville and then we have a few home matches after that to finish the season.

Just from a money flow standpoint I struggle to see how a sport can expect to participate in NIL if it doesn't bother to charge for tickets.

Use whatever ticket money you can muster over the course of a season for NIL if you have to.

Just me, or is there is a disconnect in there somewhere?

If the team plays 15 home games per year, there are 500 people in attendance per game, and the team charged $25 per ticket, the team would only make $187,500 over an entire season.

If you spend all the money on NIL how do you pay salaries, janitorial, security, utilities,etc. Also you would have to use money from year before otherwise your nil promise might not equal total

He's right though.

No, he is not. He is no doubt correct that we should not be paying NIL to the players that we have been recruiting, but I am sure that Nike and State Farm are pretty happy with the NIL money they spent on Caitlan Clark when she was at Iowa.

Duh, no ____. Wouldn't think anyone would have to specify the Clark exception.
I was speaking of the 99.9%.

Gary is retiring, right?

Someone mentioned before they lost all their starters from last year. Lost coaches. Had to scramble to put together a staff. What happened?

Lost the entire roster from last year

It’s called the cost of doing business.

I was thinking start at $10 and 100 fans.

$15,000 might come in handy somewhere.
