You're right. SAC State has apparently raised closer to 60 million for NIL.
I never like to validate an SMF post, but when he posted that number I had to Google it up. I thought it would be fictional or at least much lower than 30 mill.
But, it's SAC State--so, as another poster so eloquently put it, who cares?
The SAC-12’s efforts to lift Sacramento State athletics into the FBS continue to pick up steam.
According to State Hornet Sports and Front Office Sports, the SAC-12 announced on Monday that it has reached its initial goal of raising $50 million in NIL funds to strengthen the school’s case for an invitation to the PAC-12 or Mountain West conference.
Now, the group has a new goal: $75 million.
NIL deals (name, image, and likeness) allow college athletes to monetize their personal brand and endorsements through a variety of activities, including autograph signings, product endorsements, social media posts, and much more.
With nearly $60 million in NIL funds secured, we’ll see how far the SAC-12 can go in aiding an already-announced new Sacramento State football stadium with the financial elements that could entice FBS-level talent.
