I understand the sentiment of not wanting to give money to football players already on scholarship but the true facts are that our non-revenue sports would not exist like they do with the facilities, travel, uniforms, equipment, and other athletic dept perks they have without the money generated by primarily football. I love softball but softball needs football and football does not need softball. I don't think anything would prevent someone from running an event and paying each softball player 5 grand for an appearance. A business could have the softball team appear in a commercial and pay them all. As I understand it, NIL does not need to go through DA. DA is a collective that helps facilitate NIL. Please correct me if I am wrong.
