Gainesville has a very small sliver of your average fans that could be dropping 20-100 a month. Get the jehovah eitness guys involved, they find them

 

That isn’t how it works. It may be fun to say, but it isn’t how it works.

 

But football has to take care of pretty much all of the other athletic programs.

 

If I had to guess, them Jehovah Witness guys are struggling to hit their numbers.

 

That’s where the athletes are, so that’s where the events are. They probably aren’t going to shuttle them around the country to do engagements like the coaches do in the offseason. Would be hard to do during the season because at away games, schedules are so tight. They do have FV stuff at the team hotels. I saw them in Omaha.

 

They use their congregations to spread the word. We are the congregation.

 

if they were allowed to play, they are paying their way.

 

They are keeping the cash and will continue if they can.

 

Not yet. The money is being generated now but not sure it will continue like this.

 

1 more year and he can retire from the UM football team with a full pension.

 

You can see it however you like it, but this is the wild wild west. That the UAA is not handling NIL is prudent, not problematic. None of us has any idea how this will all shake out, so there may be a reason the current setup is in place. Also, there is only so much money the boosters have, whether it goes to the UAA or the collective. Can they give more? Sure, but at some point you get to the point where you aren't willing to give more. He is a booster, so I'm not sure why you are labeling his post as an excuse for not spending money. He is spending his money and is asking others to spend theirs, even small amounts. And if you're not helping, stop complaining. Simple.

Now if you want to say that our collective has done a poor job with fund raising, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. I think they should be doing more to fund raise. We need more fans 'invested' in our team.

 

Others schools without footbal find a way. Why is it football’s responsibility.

 

Heck, it could be as simple as a Go Fund Me campaign. They could kick off the campaign at the O&B game and end it when the season is over. Set a goal of $10m with all proceeds going to the collective.

 

Same reason it’s your responsibility to fund people’s ebt cards. It’s just the way it is.

 

Good. It’s a ridiculous concept.

 

I have no choice in taxes but I can stop going to games and tuning in.

 

The athletic dept has an obligation to all the sports they oversee, just like you have an obligation to pay taxes.

 

They aren’t obligated to use football money. They collect it all from the fans and do as they wish. As long as it keeps flowing, why would they change.

 

I wonder how his teammates view him? Do they think of him as a bad luck mascot that won't go away.

 

Right. It’s way it is. All I see is more spending right now, not less. If you want to stop spending and stop watching, that’s your right. Probably not going to change anything though.
