I don’t ever plan on contributing to NIL for any team, any sport.
If that means I’m not allowed to complain that my college sports team is bad so be it.
There’s enough other sports I like and this current setup isn’t sustainable anyway so don’t want to throw money away before it changes.

I don’t have to donate to pro players, and I certainly shouldn’t be expected to do it for college players
