Last year's Power Ball was $476 million post tax. If you won, how much would you contribute to the next NIL class?

I love realist. All those other dudes forgot about getting halved.
Interesting insight into some of the fanbase, @Son_Of_Saul. Outside of time, there are few that, even with a gargantuan sum of money, would give absolutely nothing to help the program, the university, or the athletes. Given that, I find it odd they even give their attention.
I’d buy really good season tickets and give to the school. But I wouldn’t give money to a NIL collective. If I had a business I’d consider hiring players to do ads but other than that nope.
I would give a million a year base with increases depending on tbe recruit. But at least 2 great seats season tickets better be included 
Zero. I’d donate lots to some of my favorite charitable organizations. I’d make sure none of my family had debt, pay for some housing for my parents, but some cars for needy family members; then set my kids up for life, along with their kids. Then lots of fishing…..all over the country.
If you did $10M a year you could easily demand a facility named "Son of Saul Center."
Not one penny would go to NIL. Talk about throwing money away.
I would set up multiple terrible hospice centers around the country and name them after my ex wife. That way her name would be associated with horrible deaths of millions around the country.
Dude , are you sure about Scotland ? Just spent 10 days there and it’s still cooler than I like . And WINDY . The day I played St Andrew’s there was solid 30 mph winds with gusts to 50 . My caddie said it wasn’t unusual.
Far Mitch Barnhart, he doesn’t support NIL.
If you had millions of dollars, how much would you give to NIL?
Nothing!

Nothing!
Let me tell you, I'd build a tremendous wall, the likes of which no one has ever seen. It would be unbelievable. Tremendously big and unbelievable. Some people, many people, they'd tell you it's never been done before in the history of the world.
I invest it in a fund that yields 7-12% yearly. I take whatever makes that year, pay the taxes on it, and then donate the rest
It's weird. They claim to love UK basketball so much, but wouldn't give a penny back to help the program compete with other elite programs.
No personal financial involvement from some of these guys, even if they were handed a half-a-billion dollars.
They also thin they look awesome writing things like "Not a penny", but it just makes them look massively disconnected (and selfish) from the program they claim to love.
Cheapskates who try to treat NIL like a temporary stop gap instead of what it actually is: the #1 to compete with other elite programs.
All of you look massively cheap and disconnected. I'll be returning to this thread in the future to make sure that none of you complain about competing with other programs and their NIL funding. You can't have it both ways, but I bet each of you tries to.
More UK fans who think NIL money magically grows on trees, and then they will have the audacity to complain when we can't compete with certain programs n the NIL market.
You guys are hilarious. Thanks for nothing.

Find one post were I complain about not being able to compete in nil. Just one. NIL isn't NIL. It's pay for play. Buying players flat out. I am not paying any 18 to 22 year old to play sports for my favorite college team. I don't understand how "NIL funds" is is in any way NIL. It's begging people for money to pay for players . The schools get 10s of millions a year for being in the sec. Use that money. It's is not more against the rules than what is happening. I buy merchandise, tickets, and pay for streaming services to watch the games. That is the same info for any pro team. The same every one else does for any pro team . They don't beg people for money to pay for their players. The whole NIL bs is ridiculous. But you keep calling people names and making false accusations.
Buying shirts and merchandize doesn't help the program. Contributing to NIL does.
That's the world we live in now. You'd do well to understand how it's changed. It's just massively weird that even if you took in a half-a-billion, you wouldn't give a penny in NIL. It's not name calling. It's simply you wearing the shoe because it fits.
Meanwhile, Pope and Stoops have told our fan base that the #1 way to truly compete is through NIL donations. So are they making that up and lying to the fan base?
A lot of banks are offering 5.5% APY on checking accounts. If you took half the sum you proposed, you’d yield over a million dollars a month in interest alone. The truth is you could open your own trust-bank and collect even more. Honestly think a lot of folks in this thread have no idea what all you can do with the kind of cash you’re talking about and it shows. As if there’s a choice between philanthropy, taking care of your family or anything else at that level. By all means, take care of your family if you hit a scratch off from the Kum & Go. Those aren’t the stakes here.
Nah, it just says a lot about your mentality. You clearly don't help the program now, and will not help the program when it comes to NIL. You revealed a lot about your mentality.
If I had that kind of money, I would put a new roof on my house and buy a new screen door for the back porch. After that, what else matters? Well, maybe some new bibs ... don't need no underwear, fer sissies anyway. No offense Fleming.
