Re: Random NIL thoughts
I think our NIL budget has grown beyond 400k, but whatever it is, it looks like it's not enough. Imo a million might not be enough from what I'm seeing out there. The scary thing is it's only going to go up, unless some kind of common sense solution is found that also wont be subject to litigation....
