Schools generally cannot freely use endowment money for local businesses, as endowments are primarily restricted by donor intent for specific purposes like scholarships, research, or facility maintenanceSurely the money can be funneled into local/national businesses, with wink deals for them to ‘donate’ to NIL.
The leaders and best
Y'all have ~$20B endowment already, if you wanted or needed it for NIL they would've done it by now. You know the academic side would tweak tf out if $500M of potential research money went to paying hoopers and quarterbacks lol

Depends on the former player, but generally, yes.
Remember when MJ cooked OJ Mayo at a camp when Jordan was like 46 and Mayo was the #1 recruit in the country
Certainly a choice.
Not sure I'd trust a program or school who makes choices like that

...the initial post citing this was joking then then everyone started running with it. Imo, if they wanted to use endowment funds towards NIL, they would've done it/be doing it,an extra $2B when they have $20B already doesn't seem like it would change it, plus they can easily raise NIL funds from ample donors without touching the endowment.
With that said, who knows...they could if they wanted to, I'd imagine
Academics & research vs. athletics debate aside, winning big increases applications and such. I'd imagine some managers of said fund would be weighing that against how much more they could make by re-investing the funds or investing the funds into the health system or whatever # of other revenue sources
$500M to specifically NIL would change the landscape of college sports even more...you'd see a lot of schools pushing for "caps" and such immediately
