Agreed. I blocked Wolebig (and for everyone’s mental health sake would recommend the same) so don’t see what he wrote but I see this as a minimal impact to JPC. The JPC is similar to a rewards program for most participants…. If you want good seats and benefits you need to join. Most people I knew in it would just donate to purdues academics if it weren’t for the benefits you get with JPC. I think collective donors will mostly be people who have the discretionary funds to pay it and people who see it for what it is… a formerly non conforming way to recruit better talent.
you are hilarious. you block my posts, but then reply to them. Ironically it appears the only person disagreeing with my post is the person who has blocked me and supposedly can't read it. But that doesn't prevent him from bragging to the world he has blocked me and totally disagrees with anything and everything I say. let's humor him.
another poster (before my post) posed the question that people now would have a choice of where to give their money - to the JPC or this new collective. he stated, people may give to one at the expense of the other. and i agreed, that's a possibility that people might only give to one at the expense of the other, and not give to both. isn't the JPC a seperate, private entity?
We're talking Lafayette, IN. From a business perspective, the NIL is not about giving athletes $millions of money, even though several have received that much. . But rather to pay athletes to help market their product/company. This is not LA or Miami. I don't believe the big companies of Lafayette , IN are going to give a lot of money to a NIL collective when compared to what a corporation or private business in a major city would donate. I agree, people will donate, but not close to the amounts you are seeing being disclosed on the internet/media.
I also believe 90+% of other universities are in the same position Purdue is in. I can't see Iowa or Illinois or Indiana or mich St having a greater NIL than purdue. Will Shelly Long and Louis Dreyfort be huge conributers towards the northwestern NIL? I doubt it.
admittedly it's my opinion. I just don't see purdue alumni and Lafayette IN businesses giving out the same amount of money that other schools iin bigger communities do. I now live in lebanon, OH - the home town of Neil Armstrong. he gives his money to the local YMCA . that's a place he helped design, and create. is he going to turn his financial attention to Purdue ? or will he continue to suppot his local community?
I asked the obvious question 2 months ago and received no reply. I have to believe this site has the most passionate Purdue fans. the question i asked was how many of you have donated any money to a NIL, and how many of you plan to do so . I followed that question up with how many of you plan to donate over $1000 to a NIL ? and nobody replied. to me, that says you are passionate fans, but no way in france are you going to give up the type of money that people in LA give.
is Carsen Edwards or ivey going to chip in $2 million to our NIL collective? is painter or brohm? the local TV station? BOB Rohrman's son? I don't think so.
it was ano brainer for Pack. he took the money. there was no guarantee playing at purdue that he'd get drafted. So he took the money. if somebody associated with purdue offered him money, he probably would have chosen Purdue. he was smart. he accepted the money.
I share my opinions. I make predictions. I also do research. I think it's awesome purdue now has a NIL collective, and they created a job for somebody to manage it. BUT i have to ask the question, where is the money going to come from? I can see alumni contributing, but not the type of money that's being talked about. you might see a couple of players getting a Camry, or a rent free apartment. But i can't see the type of deals being given out that you are seeing being talked about. I'll ask again, where's this money coming from? popcorn sales?
