Congrats to us and the young man.

I've been thinking, as these NIL numbers show up and we have success in the portal, how it is possible that our Bears can be more successful in an open NIL world relative to our more small market and rural peers, than we were in the underground payment world that prevailed in the past, where those schools would do so undercover and we didn't so much. I mean, what school has more built in fundraising potential than the Bears? Sure, a few, but not too many!
