The New Thing?: Smaller Schools with Big Donors
FedEx pledges 25 million to Memphis University's NIL. Ugh.

That's pretty much what we have been using the Laubs for.
Re: The New Thing?: Smaller Schools with Big Donors
Although I’m no attorney, it seems like most public companies are going to be reluctant to just give large sums of cash to college athletes. Shareholders could (and should) object to such a practice.
My view is that NIL is close to lighting cash on fire. It’s fine for individuals who want to be a part of their school’s athletics arms race, but I don’t know what benefits would accrue for corporate donors.
And, actually, I am an attorney.
