NIL creates a big disadvantage to programs like IU that have not traditionally had a lot of financial support for its football program. As much as it is a nightmare for IU football, it is the reality today.
A lot of people on this board say Dolson needs to do this or Allen needs to do that. I think the people on this board are some of the most dedicated IU football fans that exist. We all want to see IU football succeed. Now you can be part of the solution.
Between now and December 31, we have the opportunity to have an impact on the success of the football program next year.
The reason the donor of the matching grant gave such a short timeframe was that the donor wanted the money to come in fast enough to make a difference next year.
One thing Dolson is good at is raising money. He is going after the big fish, which may include some of you. The rest of us need to step up with whatever we are comfortable giving in the next 6 weeks.
There are two funds that you can use. Hoosiers for Good and Hoosier Connect. Hoosiers for Good is a 501 (C ) (3) charity, so your contribution may be tax deductible. (I am not giving tax advice here). Hoosier Connect may create tax deductions and benefits for your business.
You can abandon college sports, you can complain about the state of IU football, but you can also make a difference.
IU will stay within the rules, but it needs the money to keep good players which are being poached and to land recruits and transfers.
I don't like it, you probably don't like it, but that is the reality. Do what you can before 12/31/22.
