[Knoxvol14]

Today is the day to raise NIL $ for our Lady Vol athletes. Consider a donation of $23.24 today to continue to grow NIL for our female athletes. NiL is a major key to success in having championship teams.

Plus the Boost Her Club really has players engage in the community and impact others. Its not your normal NIL collective. The ladies work hard for their NIL money through appearances, dinners, events, etc and they are fantastic humans.

Giving people things for free--including cash. The new ethic in America. Turning college students--or prospective college students/student-athletes--into mercenaries. The new ethic in college sports.

I don't mind NIL for //existing// student-athletes--ESPECIALLY those in non-revenue sports, because non-revenue sports get badly short-changed with respect to NCAA allowed number of scholarships. And so nearly all soccer, softball, volleyball, swimmers, rowers, golfers all getting partial scholarships (and in some cases little or no scholarship money) and thus could use a bit of extra cash in exchange for public or private appearances, etc. But basketball players? They're all getting full rides--including the last 5 players on the bench. 15 full scholarships for basketball is, IMO, a joke. That's more than softball and soccer get--and they have many more starters and much bigger rosters.

Every single one of these athletes who receive NIL $ do work of some sort in return. We do NIL the way it was designed to be done.

Awesome! The female athletes at UT deserve our support as much as our male athletes. Every dollar matters!

You say a joke but how many fans actually show up for softball swimming rowing or golf and buy tickets and concessions and everything else that goes with it including TV time & commercials etc. The basketball team brought 8150 fans per game in 2022 spending their money to see them and the numbers are down, yet still one of the best in the country. Softball on the other hand had an average attendance of 1593 people in 2022. Maybe when softball brings in that fan base that the basketball team does they'll have full ride scholarships for all players too. The largest amount of money coming into the nil collective comes from the women's basketball team which seems to be supporting the other women's programs that aren't popular. Why should Rickea's name image and likeness support sports and the players of sports she doesn't play? Why should the highest earning women's sport at Tennessee namely basketball be equal to golf or any other women's team at Tennessee in terms of scholarship money?
