Basketball NIL fund
- Thread starter Dontworryboutit23
- Start date
What does this mean? Do fans donate into it? Do fans purchase *something* and profits can be used for NIL? I was under the impression the University couldn’t be the ones offering NIL deals.
I could be mistaken but I believe UT sued the NCAA because they questioned their NIL and basically neutered the NCAA to not be able to enforce anything
Will this be what gets us Peterson for next year (and other big names)?
Trilly just said Mitch did it because of fear cal might leave this offseason. Damn
Looks like Mitch finally caught up with the times (or was forced to). After the injunction in the Tennessee/Virginia case, all rules are out the window. We can effectively offer NIL, pay to play, whatever, with the backing and control of the athletic department.
We’ll probably keep it NIL based just to be safe, it this is what modern college sports will look like.

In just donated $1000, I talked to Mitch and he gave me the PayPal info. DM if any of yall want it
Mitch is prepared to give Cal 2 lifetime contracts
So sad that college basketball is nothing more then buying players now
I've been a huge Cal critic. However, with this new NIL you have to give him at least 3 more years. He's the absolute perfect coach to capitalize on something like this. As much as his shortcomings as an X's and O's coach, if we get the absolute best of the best it won't matter.
How much are we all pitching in to get Reed back for year 2? LOL
wasn't it always though? Now it's just out in the open.
It's like when gambling and weed are illegal in a state... it's not like there isn't a ton of people doing it
Don’t know this for sure but I’d be very surprised if Drake isn’t involved in this some how
No, what is sad is the billions of $$$ the NCAA and schools made off of the players while they didn't receive jack shit, and had to go without eating because the stipend was a joke.
I will give what Micheal Corleone paid for his Nevada gaming license…….nothing
They got a college degree. They got more than jack crap
I agree on the first part, but not the going hungry part. I worked at Blazer when the football team was awful, they never went hungry lol.
tree fiddy.
Reed would be an NIL dream. He could legit challenge his first year NBA money (unless he really lands in the top 4 or 5 picks) or at least make enough to be able to put it off another year. He would be a Kentucky legend if he sticks around another year.
Some truth in that. But to a different degree, I think. For example, gambling was always legal in KY – as long as the right people (hypocrites) were controlling it and getting paid. Also, marijuana has apparently never been illegal in Leslie Co.
In reality, this should be a combined effort between Calipari and Stoops to benefit both of the schools revenue generating programs.
If Reed would give us a number he would take in order to stay, I would personally go door to door in the whole state to get it...bad knee and all!!🤣🤣
I do not agree. Too many football players that would want deals. It would take away from basketballs NIL money.
Football already has their NIL program and it has been pretty successful. I'd much rather have them separate.
Great to hear and perfect timing. Let's build up the fund and use it to get Reed, Edwards, Thiero, Ugo, Big Z, Bradshaw and Wagner back for another season and start beating the dogsh*t out of ppl again.
