Small donations can add up! Chipped in $20 a month. My conscience made me make a matching donation to a local food bank cause if I can afford to fund NIL I should also be helping out real charities. Go Bears!
I'm not paycheck-to-paycheck, but I'm no whale either. I will answer the call once again. And I'm admittedly behind on when I told myself I would give again. So thanks for the reminder.
I know it's verboten to talk about targets for the total annual warchest. But I think we should talk about it. This isn't BI. I'd like to know if my estimate for total NIL warchest amount is too high or too low. I've heard a place to *start* is $30k per student athlete (not just football) annually. Now I assume many are getting less, and revenue-generating sports stars get LOTS more. So of course it hardly gets distributed equally. But $30k times 946 student athletes works out to $28.4 Million. Is that about how much we would like to have for a year? Or is that not enough? Obvs it's an arms race with the blue blood programs driving up values, but I sure would like to know where we need to be to play comfortably at the table.
I set up a monthly withdrawal. Nothing crazy. About what I'd spend on a well-spent game day. (Tickets. Parking. Tailgate Beers. Food. Celebration Cocktails.)
Sent! Doing it for #H1M
I am a simple public school teacher yet dug deep and donated. Go Bears!
Donated. Go Bears! Dominate the ACC!
I am not a major donor, but I did donate and hope many more will.
I contribute every couple of months and will send in another donation today!
I have sent money! And will do again now

I signed up for a recurring monthly contribution. Not a whale, but every bit helps!
Go Bears!
Donated last week, continuing to spread #H1S message

Thoughts?
...and donated!
Set up $25 a month recurring! Go Bears!
Dollars delivered. I expect the NIL people to know where it needs to go better than the ones who drove the conference into a ditch.
Wait what happened to the pac-12?
What's a Pac-12? There's a Pac-2.
Love to see everyone doing what they can.

It all adds up.
Go Bears
Done!
I donated two days ago and will do so again momentarily. Go Bears!
Any chance they’ll do a beast mode clothing drop again?
