employees and have contracts to receive shares of the university booty. I have no idea what the universities will do with a decrease of their profits in having to revenue share.

If I was filthy rich, then I would probably give for something like this (NIL), after I covered my other humanitarian endeavors. I do love sports.

I was in the ER this week with my adult son. While he was in a treatment room, I spent several hours in the waiting room. So shocked to once again be among a lot of people that seem to be struggling in life. One 22 year old young man was there trying to get in to their Mental Health unit. He was telling my wife and me that he had a mental issue. It seemed to me that he was very intelligent. He had an injury that was causing his foot to be septic. It was very swollen and red and he arrived on crutches. His story to us was that his mother had died when he was 14. His father wasn't much of a care taker and he had helped extensively with his younger siblings while he was still at home. At 18 he was told to leave the house. He's gay and his father didn't take to his sexual preference. He's been in and out of housing ever since. He had a job at a 7-11 or something until this injury that currently makes it so he can't work as he can't stand without crutches. So he lost his apartment that was ransacked by some other homeless individuals. He has been out on the streets now for a bit. He was talking about how difficult it was the other night when he had to sleep outside in the rain with just a sleeping bag. He was the sweetest dirty young man you could meet. My wife talked him up for a few hours and he was so receptive to have someone who didn't ignore him--what he said most people did. She gave him a pillow and blanket she had in the car. I believe they kept him. I hope so, but not a long term solution, but if they can get his foot healed once again he can work. He's not opposed to work.

My wife and I got home that night at 3 in the morning and we sat in our living room and looked at each other and then just cried. There's just so much out there that this sports stuff doesn't matter, but here I am none-the-less.
