But the NIL thing seems somewhat fragile. We know politicians and the NCAA don't like it and they likely have more power than the athletes in terms of creating legislation to curb or stop it. It feels tenuous to me. I think you have to keep investing in the event NIL somehow becomes a thing of the past due to legislation or a judge making a decision.Really hope they reconsider spending money on this. The landscape has changed so drastically in the last 6-12 months. Upgrading facilities has really gone down in ROI when it comes to recruiting.

I mean, sometimes your back-and-forth thing is pretty entertaining, but sometimes you just read the weirdest **** into things. Not sure that I’ve ever heard any athletic directors say that they have all the money they need for the next project at any point cause they’re always fundraising. Only Miami fans will on one hand talk about having a top 10 NIL program (spoiler it is and probably top 5), and then act like we don’t have a dollar for M&Ms in the vending machine.As he sounds like he’s looking in the cushions of his couch for any cent he can find to pay the bills…
As we flip to June…
Maybe in July we’ll pay the light bill…
They cannot cap N I L even if collective-bargaining were in place. That’s not happening. They can’t tell you what you can do to monetize your own person unless perhaps another brand has contractually obligated that way or somebody buys those rights from you.But the NIL thing seems somewhat fragile.

I really don't know what can or can't be done in regards to NIL. That's way beyond my expertise. I just know that old people don't like it and expect that there will be challenges to it in some form or another in the coming years.They cannot cap N I L even if collective-bargaining were in place.

One of the AD's jobs is to continue to generate fundraising dollars and they need to keep stacking on top of stacking. I get that. That said, and maybe it is an unfair focus on "Rad Speak", but it seems like every time he opens his mouth - at least in print - it is odd or slightly off -- see also: every single comment he makes about the ACC...I mean, sometimes your back-and-forth thing is pretty entertaining, but sometimes you just read the weirdest **** into things.

The board tends to not like jokes (or data for that matter) when they hit on people they defend... it happens... it is a message board...He is trying to build a brand out of being a cranky mope who likes to "keep it real" by making non-stop negative jokes.
What?
Honestly it's like CANE fans hate their own team and literally make **** up to be negative about.
We CONSTANTLY have confirmation and reconfirmation our NIL is strong.
Miami HAS MONEY. They always did and now they're spending it in a meaningful manner ACROSS THE BOARD.
We can recruit and build simultaneously.

You all are funny with your building a brand...
Win games -- get celebrated, don't kneel - get criticized, do well in recruiting - get celebrated, make poor hires - get criticized, create absurd double standards or lower expectations -- get mocked...
Pretty standard stuff from the TOC Terms and Conditions...
It’s about capital allocation. I want us to have the best facilities, but in the current environment is that the best use of $200m? If we could take that and use it toward NIL/Salaries I think that would have a much better return toward the goal of acquiring the best players. Remember, when this revenue sharing kicks in we’ll be 20-30M in annual revenue lower than most of our competition.

Probably a matter of behind the scenes directing boosters/donors to put the money into NIL instead of pledging it for capital improvement projects. But I think both are needed.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm failing to understand how the school spending money on facilities would in any way impact NIL when the school doesn't pay NIL.

Brain dead fans that can’t comprehend the NIL entity is completely separate from the university and it’s AD. There may be some overlap but I would imagine donors for each project/entity earmark their $$$ to a specific cause.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm failing to understand how the school spending money on facilities would in any way impact NIL when the school doesn't pay NIL.
Well, I was going to make a huge tax deductible donation and be a Golden Cane where I can hang out at games with all my rich buddies, but instead I'll just give to the collective and watch from The Titanic.Brain dead fans that can’t comprehend the NIL entity is completely separate from the university and it’s AD.

Well D$ has reliable information and just this week he said that facilities have gone way down the priority list and that NIL is a lot more important.Do you work within the school and/or have any objective knowledge regarding our finances?
My spider sense tells me you have no clue what so ever and are throwing negative crap against the wall just "because".
