Throw in the fact that ND can use the SOFI connection to tell recruits they can pay them the money and then get them resources to use that money effectively.

Squeeze every last dollar. If you aren’t making MORE money, you’re making less. And I hate that.

But whatever. Can’t change how it’s going to

I feel like this tweet post isn't getting enough love. That is legitimately hilarious.

I don’t give a shit if the jersey looks like NASCAR if we keep buying the best players. I’m sure they’ll still sell plain apparel. They’re finally on the forefront of college football and I’m not going to worry about a patch.

It is just a relief for the university, it does nothing for recruiting. So yea! the university saved some cash, but it does nothing to make us better. The OSU deal had a NIL component that helped open doors for them. This one does not.

I’m ignorant how all this works. So the OSU deal could be worth more because they pay additional NIL payments to players? Even if the SoFi deal doesn’t allocate money to NIL explicitly it’s hard for me to think this doesn’t go directly to paying players on the roster.

Part of their contract states they will offer NIL opportunities to players. Our's is structured different.

I think you are underestimating ND athletics leadership if you think the university would sign off on a deal like this that wouldn’t strengthen our player acquisition capabilities in some way shape or form. They’ve proven themselves to be as savvy as any athletic department in the country imo considering the constraints / demands of independence.

I wish I had time to be upset about some extra thread on a jersey

Bro, where are your priorities??

 

[jerseyborn1971]

OSU's deal is for patches on all athletic teams and ND's is just for the football team, correct?

No.

The University of Notre Dame and SoFi Technologies announced today a multi-year collaboration, making SoFi the official financial services partner of Notre Dame Athletics and the first non-apparel brand to appear as a jersey patch on all Fighting Irish uniforms.
