    Nice. It would have been better not to announce it.

    I know....OK, boomer.

    He literally says that he hopes to inspire others to contribute to women’s sports, so no.

    Yep, and this should have been inherently obvious to everyone. When someone announces they’re donating to something, they’re not doing it to pay themselves on the back, they’re trying to raise further funds by encouraging others.

    Edit: I mean they're often patting themselves on the back but I think he's trying to start a trend here.

    Class act, for sure.

    What a contrast to Carson Beck with his lambo and 300k Mercedes (which got stolen in Miami then recovered).

    Proud DJ is a Gator!

    How there is ANYTHING negative to be said about a 20 year old man supporting fellow athletes is beyond me. Way to go DJ!

    As a daddy to a female athlete this resonates.

    Take it easy on the old folks... You just might get lucky and live long enough to be their age one day. ;)

    7 figures, minimum. I'm thinking 4-5 million.

    Per season/year, right?

    Must be nice to leave college with enough security to be almost wealthy.
