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

    I know....OK, boomer.

    Wow, DJ stepping up in more ways than one. Very impressive. Hopefully this starts a trend.

    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 nothing, they’re not doing it to pay themselves on the back, they’re trying to raise further funds by encouraging others.

    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.
