…and BYU (via Corporate sponsorship) just set the bar (paying tuition for all 36 walk-ons in the BYU Football program) that could, potentially & theoretically, skim off the top 4,680 (36x130) current & (more likely) future FCS Players.

Really, really curious how this will all shake out in the years ahead.
No problem with the kids getting dat money. I well remember sneaking in & filling my pockets with crackers packages from the Dining Hall to add to & thicken the cans of soup that were all I could afford ($.15/can if I recall) with my off-campus monthly living allowance - $200-something to pay rent, utilities, meals - because the NCAA wouldn’t let us make any money (couldn’t even work for more than some paltry annual maximum in those days). Just a-feared for the life of the ‘goose’ that laid the NIL egg - particularly at the FCS level.
Thoughts?
