I have a few friends that are die hard DePaul hoops fans (maybe the only ones under 40) and I go to a handful of games every year. Tonight was my first this season. Mark Aguirre was in the house and it’s always fun to be around a HOFer.
First, DePaul stinks. They had some momentum under Stubbs at the beginning of last year both on the court and off, but they’ve had a lot of their highly touted recruits/transfers not pan out due to injuries and other issues. They’re really bad this year and the first 15 Min or so of the game tonight was some of the worst basketball I’ve seen all year and I’ve watched every Pitt game. Umoja Gibson is pretty good.
That’s not really the point of my post though.
Before and during the game they had several little NIL videos on the Jumbotron with a QR code that you could scan to donate to their NIL initiative. They also had similar stuff throughout the arena. NIL is front and center for them and it couldn’t be easier for fans to donate directly to their NIL fund to support the players and recruits.
How is freaking DePaul getting this right and we’re not? It needs to be corrected immediately or we’re just going to fall further and further behind.
