Brian Kelly is matching $1 million in NIL donations at LSU. Kirk.....your turn!!!

[Letsgohawks411]

KIrk has earned $100 million over the past 25 years. Peel off a few million to get some players!!

Is that considered legal under NCAA rules? I was under the impression it was not.

 

[obfuscating]

Since it is their job(s) on the line, the coaches should be able to donate (heck should be required to).

NCAA rules??

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Rules? Remember when the purpose of NIL was to allow the poor, indentured servants of major college athletics to receive some money when their jersey or poster sold?

UI compliance would barf over anyone from the fball staff contributing.

 

[DropitlikeitsHawk]

To acquire whom exactly? New players in a shit scheme equals shit.

 

[DewHawk]

He would not if he could IMO.

 

[amahawk]

I think that the University of Iowa needs to give Elon Musk an honorary Doctorate. This could lead to an insane NIL setup!

"Insane" being the operative term.

Hell yes, KF should be dumping money back into the program for players. Who could afford it more, and who would benefit most? The guy has made an ungawdly amount of money from Iowa football. I think he could afford to funnel some back into it. And if he won't, why should anyone else?

 

[Max_Rebo]

From the article:

Coaches cannot give to NIL collectives under NCAA rules, but they can send money to a school’s athletics foundation. Kelly’s donation will be made to the Tiger Athletic Foundation, a private fundraising arm for LSU sports. The school did not specify how Kelly’s money will be used.

[Niko13]

Wait….we were told by the KF apologists that coaches couldn’t do this!

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I could be wrong, but even without Kirk donating money, I believe there would be more funding available outside of drunk Iowans purchasing Swarm beer if there was any sort of confidence in some type of return on the investment. Why should someone donate a bunch of money to Swarm when Captain Fossil is going to punt in plus territory or shut the offense down in the 3rd or 4th quarter with any sort of lead?

Of all the players Iowa has gotten via the portal, only Nick Jackson has panned out. One player in two years, meaning not a single impact player on offense—the one side of ball where help was desperately needed. Absolutely pathetic.

Why would anyone donate serious coin for that shit?

 

[jonesy5960]

He would not if he could IMO.

He can, but you're probably right in that he won't.

Elon cant be bothered with NIL as he is planning to build that under the Atlantic Ocean hyperloop super fast train and also to trim the us govt by 80%

 

[WEH8ST8HAWK]

Lets hope both happen along with 2 genders and secure borders.

 

[uihawk82]

A tunnel under the atlantic ocean. Well Elon thinks ocean floors are smooth and level and what is that deepest dept?

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

I’ve wondered about the ex Hawkeye players that are multimillionaires and if they donate in some way to Swarm. I bet not or very minimally since they didn’t have that and got theirs through hard work then drafted into the league.

Good point

I thought the same. I would argue almost all former players do not. Most probably say, why should I give them my earned money.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

NCAA rules??

That was my thought. It is probably against the rules but the NCAA won't enforce anything.

 

[ClarindaA's]

I was told a few weeks ago, that suggesting this was stupid, moronic, couldn’t happen. Reap it bitches

 

[Sett1997]

NCAA rules??

This made me 😅🤣😅😅🤣

 

[MitchLL]

I would rather see KF give that $$$ to the Children's Hospital.

At least an entity that gets a ROI.

The football program at Iowa is stale and outdated.

 

[Sett1997]

Yeah, I'm sure he's clueless about all of these things you talk about. Have you voiced your concerns to him?

 

[OILCHECKER]

So just to be clear, kelly is not donating to LSU's NIL

You first... Kirk donates to the college every year.

 

[uihawk82]

I would never want to meet him or talk with him.

 

[Sett1997]

I would never want to meet him or talk with him.

I can respect that. Guy is pretty smart though when it comes to tech.

 

[the24fan]

so just to get this whole thing straight. We have a top 25 NIL fund correct?
If that’s really true than it is most definitely the current state of the program that’s preventing us from getting players…. And if that’s the case then we will be mediocre under captain fossil until he heads to pasture. Let’s hope he gets the record next year and hangs it up .

And why would someone with you brilliance waste you time bitching every day on this HAWKEYE site? You seem smarter that that!

Or maybe it’s your turn.

 

[diggetydug]

I can’t wait to write my yearly check to my employer to hire better employees. It is the way God meant it to be.

<edit changed god to God because I forgot there were idiots here>

 

[BirdistheWord]

KF could chip in a Target gift card or something

 

[kceasthawk]

And to things way more important then college football. Oh, I know, "oh the horror" right?

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

What rules. In regards to NIL there don't seem to be any.

Curious? Do you donate to SWARM or just expect everyone else to do it for you?

If everyone on this board joined SWARM even at the entry level we would move up in that alleged top 25 NIL fund, correct?

I thought he has donated to the hospital.
