    You can go ahead and include Texas in that rabid fan base willing to sell their food stamps or steal money from a children’s hospital to buy their favorite team some players ‘cause they’ll be here in the mix next year too.

    Well at least there’s some oil money floating around there. :emoji_laughing: Food stamps may be an embellishment, but the children’s hospital thing actually happened. :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing:

    Just second hand info from a mix of certain higher ups (on the UF academic side) and loose connections to a true mega-donor (ride on the team plane to football away games type). Sometimes that info aligns across those independent sources.

    I don’t pretend to have real insider info specific to baseball, but I continue to hear that our NIL is severely lacking across the board. Our mega-donors (my word) just aren’t as interested in supporting like their UGA, Texas, ATM, tOSU, etc counterparts. Is what it is.
