when it comes to "funding", i'm not interested in competing against pwc's. but i'm not discouraging anybody else from doing it, go for it if that's what you wanna do. but i'm of the belief that when it comes to "funding" (i.e., nil), hbcu's are at a major historical "disadvantage". that's a fight that i don't want no part of cuz i know how its gonna end... I get your point. Is there anybody you believe we should compete against?

Whether we like it or not, we're here... competing against PWC's. I don't believe we have to win this "fight" but I do believe in trying. That's all my previous posts were geared towards. A&T atleast trying.

A&T atleast trying. A&T has to decide if it wants to invest in the play for pay competition. Don't get it twisted I believe in the NIL concept . What I have a difference with is including it in the recruitment of student athletes as a bonus if they sign up. Do we want a team of student athletes or do we want a team of Mercenaries. Which this nil has become. Personally I don't think that the University should become involved with providing any type of nil contacts , outside of stipulating the rules for nil participant student athletes. This NIL situation will go south at some point and will also drag the institutions with it, no different than the big boosters back in the day i e SMU .

A&T atleast trying. my statement regarding competing against pwc's was specifically directed relative to "funding". otherwise, i have no problem with competing against pwc's. but nil is all about "$$$$". there's a very significant "disparity" of wealth when it comes to hbcu's versus pwc's, just like that very same "disparity" of wealth exists between african americans and white folk. relative to nil, spend within your means if at all. but i ain't trying to outspend pwc's...

Is this still a thing? Have any of you guys that signed up received any exclusive content yet?

So I guess it is safe to assume the players changed their minds and decided to just concentrate on football.
