Donors are foolish to contribute to NIL--more so on the men's side than the women's, but probably still foolish on the women's side. First, a lot of players who get money won't pan out and thus will prove a waste of money. Second, those players who do become good college players immediately become the target of other programs. They will tamper with the good players, offer them more money--and it's very possible that the good player will enter the portal and transfer to obtain more money-- thus wasting your donors' investments. BUT: all is not lost. If you lose a player to the portal, you can offer big bucks to players at other programs and persuade them to enter the portal and transfer to your school, thus perhaps evening things out. Ahh, college sports today--what fun for coaches.
