How can Minny, Wisky and 4-8 Kentucky have so much better transfer portal game than us!?!?

I never said it was part of NIL, it is part of an expense the fan willingly pays that goes to support the players, etc. Asking for more and more from fans will be the downfall of the sport. If the coaches jobs depend on winning, then they should be first in line to workout their exorbitant salaries.
Fair enough. My apologies. It seems, not in this case, many fans fail the distinction between contributions to the AD, SWARM non-profit, SWARM profit, University Foundation, etc.

The only currency, for players, comes from NILs (until AD payments happen). And specific directed program/players, usually require a certain giving threshold.

I agree with Rico, however, regarding the “someone else should pay for this” mindset. Contribute, don’t contribute; who cares? But for folks to bitch about lack of NIL funds, then say they can’t or won’t, but whine about those that could is victimhood at its finest. Whatever the NIL has, is what the NIL has, and we’ll just need to accept that. They’re donations; not a government tax.

So, you are going to hold it against someone if they can't donate? What a sad mindset. I give plenty to the facility across the street that we all wave at on Saturday's. I also give to other charities, and never hold it against those that can't.

I also will not tell someone they have no say in something 8f they don't donate to a certain level. I don't care if it's. 50 you donate or the seats/merch you buy (by the way merch is toward NIL when the athlete is sponsored by merchant). The elitist mindset of "give your money or shut up" is what will kill the sport.

Nope.

No, I did not. I will point you to what I wrote above in bold. I honestly care less about others money situations. It’s none of my business; as are mine of others. Benevolence is a great gift. Give as you can; or can’t.
 
I don't believe for a second we have adequate NIL. This is on the administration for not nurturing the relationships needed to support NIL. How many multi-millionaire ex-players are supporting our NIL?? If not, why the hell not!!! Another failure by our administration.

All I know from watching better teams in bowls, we need to get bigger on both lines!!! Our defensive line didn't get much penetration all year and our OL had more issues. We have to improve our lines.
If our fans were as good as everyone says, they would support NIL better. They don’t do there’s that
 
NIL has to come from big donors, the average fan could give 10.00 or 20.00 but also has to live and still try and afford tickets to the game, parking, concession food prices, and cold metal seats.

NIL needs to tap the past players, current big dogs.
Some could give thousands but I for one wouldn't want Kirk and Fran in charge of my donation money.

I insinuated nothing in my post. You did that.

You said he “deserves” to leave when he wants to. I disagree. That’s all. Nothing more.

Also….I have no idea what “the fane” is.
It’s probably a typo…game works. Well unless Kirk embezzles or kills someone, he deserves to say “when”…because he has earned that right.

I disagree. No coach is above the program. You have a different opinion and that’s fine.
