but to say facilities are irrelevant is asinine
This is going to destroy a lot of narratives around here
- Thread starter Bulldawg77
- Start date
Right now they’re pretty irrelevant. Especially in sports other schools are cutting completely.
Coaching/recruiting/amenities/commitment to do whatever it takes to "win" a recruit... among other things.
Then how much was it, exactly? Provide link, or STFU.
And, regardless of however much it was, will he be donating that same amount EVERY year, and putting future donations towards NIL, or is this a one time deal?
LOL. Again, please provide credible link.
We had sonewhere around $30 million TOTAL (maybe less) that was available for football, between NIL and the revenue share.
The revenue share portion is $15 million, and, for the millionth time, that is NOT NIL. Everybody has it. That $15 million is the new version of “85 scholarships” for P4 programs.
The remaining $15 million (at most) that we actually had for NIL is an absolutely pathetic number for an SEC program. And, honestly, that’s totally fine by me, as I do not in any way support this crap. But the reality is we do not have what is needed to compete.
Because of two reasons:
1) Everyone else is getting record donations too….every year….since there’s now a direct path to buying wins.
2) We are not taking said path, nor are we wisely investing what we are receiving, due to a joke of a coaching staff.
How about you STFU.
You are one of the worst fans in here. All you do is write some lengthy BS jargon that you think is smart and makes you look intelligent but it doesn’t it just shows your ignorance. By your “logic” yes we had around 15MM in REV share and added to that from donations and like to get to over 30MM…. that’s still a substantial amount of money and gets us in a very very competitive position. You know what JA!! This also means that Ohio state lsu and whomever else that are at 40MM has the exact same 15MM but added another 20-25MM in NIL. No one including me has ever said we are the same position as Ohio state Michigan or others. But 30MM for NIL, a top half of the league in donations and funding for facilities puts a lot of your logic and others out of business. God forbid we do something positive with athletics, no posters like you live to just 17n be negative. What moron post negative **** on a message board of a school they support?? Plus why do you care it’s not like you go to games definitely ain’t giving ****. I bet you didn’t even attend MSU. So Perd it’s you who needs to STF up.
Raising $60 million is fantastic but you have to do it annually to keep pace. We’ve raised about half that this fiscal cycle.
So either you don’t know how much the 1-time donation was or you don’t want to admit how much it was. We do know that it was enough to get his name on the facility. So at least half of the $60 million is a pretty good bet.
If we aren't hopefully behind in NIL donations, then Lebby's strongest argument ("it's not like anyone else would do any better here!") is discredited.
Look it again it’s for PY 24-25. In other words it’s last year when we actually started getting or par with NIL and funding. Not discounting Lebbys year one but, Lebbys first year with actual money to spend we finished 5-8 and has an opportunity at three other wins. You have to look at this number through that lens. The 2-10 year of 24 was always going to be rough year no matter who the coach was. The talent and NIL situation was abysmal. Maybe another coach could have won 1 or two more games but people don’t understand how bad our roster was in 24.
All that said he has to win 7 this year
Well you better hope you're right and that he pulls off 3 upsets in September, or there's almost no chance of that happening
Yawn
You know nothing of writing
This is just part of the story
The OG work about scattered hope in the midst of despair at MSU is of course:
Sooooooo……you don’t know the donation amount.
LOL. No, it doesn’t. You continue to not understand this. None of the reported NIL amounts from any schools (no matter the source) includes the revenue share number. None of them. Because revenue share is not NIL.
No, it doesn’t. Again, for the one millionth + 1 time, It means they have $40MM in NIL. Just NIL. Then they have another $15MM from revenue share. So, $55MM total, compared to our $30MM. Almost double the investment. That’s how big the gap is.
We. Do. Not. Have. $30MM. In. NIL.
Jesus.
I know. I’m pagan…..just pagan.

You’ll find the echo chamber you so desperately seek there.

If you read the article in more detail, of the SEC programs in the top 10 of donations, we are the only school that had $0 earmarked for football.
That's a problem!
That's a problem!
Continuing a long tradition of having the absolutely dumbest leadership of any school In the country.
This isn't just about NIL.
If you can't see that Zac Selmon is a good fundraiser FFS man stop handling other peoples money.
If howard donated the money specifically for the indoor facility then how was it mismanaged?Would receiving $60 million in athletic donations in a calendar year to ascend to middle of the pack in potential NIL funds, but then squandering half of it on something like this below qualify as “mismanaging of capital”?

I wish he was a better NIL fund raiser and football coach hirer.
It's not the leadership that earmarks donations. It's the person making the donation.
It's a bit more of a 2-way street than that. A good AD will convince the donor what the best use of the money is.
Don’t try to argue with dumbest most ignorant people within the MSU fan base. Sixpackspeak.
Can I ask something? I am in with those guys that do not agree with you. Am I dumb and ignorant as well? I think it is kind of a bad look to call anyone that does not agree with you dumb.
Tell me how ignorant you are about NIl and Rev share without telling me your ignorant about nil and Rev share
Here’s my beef… it’s an article that paints MSU in a positive light amongst our peers yet we have page and post after post down playing the article. We have posters looking under every rock to describe and discredit said article. If that’s not dumb then I don’t know what it’s. Same posters are over in other threads b!tchin about we never get positive press and articles. Now you tell me what looks dumb.
What do you disagree with?
The original post basically said Zac Selmon is good at fundraising.
Its pretty damn hard to disagree with that based on all of the evidence.
So Texas has $25 million in NIL compared to our maybe $15 million. 40% more than we have now…..just to go 9-3 and lose to Florida.
What are you trying to prove with this?
You said they had 15MM plus 40MM which once again was incorrect. Your trying your damndest to make us look bad for what reason…
Right, so Selmon should’ve “convinced” all of the baseball donors to earmark their money for football?
