NIL
Two things about NIL and Brohm
1. The latest actual numbers I can find…per 247 sports, U of L was 20th in NIL monies in college sports at about 450 million. Now we are approaching 2026 and things obviously have changed, but we were at least trying to play the NIL game.
2. Jeff did not leave Purdue the first time because the timing wasn’t right or he still had a job to do with the Boilermakers. I respected Jeff for that and quite frankly made me feel more proud of who he was as a person .
I could be naive and stupid but:
A. This crazy money by rich people to pay athletes is just that, crazy and not sustainable long term.
B. U of L is probably doing the best it can but can not compete against oil monies etc.
C. Love him or not, (I love Jeff as our coach) he is the best we could have and feel safe he wants to stay. (Is this a dumb statement given the leaving fears?)
D. Let’s keep winning at Jeff’s level or better
