I'm curious to see how donations/funding that is now funding NIL impacts athletic depts. I know UW Athletic Dept has relied on donations to balance their budget in past, and if this money now goes to NIL, what will the implications be if they are not able to balance their budget. What are the implications? Cut non revenue sports? Reduce $ to support the student athletes (like meals/clothing...). Would football teams quit going to bowl games that don't generate enough $$ to offset the costs? I would also guess it costs a lot more to send teams to the East and West Coast now. What impact will the NCAA lawsuit that came down in July impact individual schools? I believe that was $2.78B that goes to former athletes...Will the pool of money from the new TV deal be enough to offset all of this?
