[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 939567, member: 4289"] I’m not sure the corporate thing will ever materialize. I don’t see any roi benefit for corporations to sponsor basketball players or even basketball (or football) programs that, in the grand scheme of things, are irrelevant to the lives of the vast majority of the public consciousness. Plus corporations want to ingratiate themselves with as wide an audience as possible, not limit the effectiveness of their advertising efforts by hitching their wagon to one demographic or another. In the case of GT in Atlanta, the majority of the public are actually fans of or at least much more conscious of uga(sic), our major rival, so supporting GT could actually have a net negative impact on a corporation’s image. So far NIL seems to me to be turning out to be the playground of wealthy sports fans with mostly more money and ego than sense, kinda the same as it’s always been before NIL. Unfortunately for us regular GT sports fans, most of GT’s wealthy fans seem to have more sense than those of other fan bases, so aren’t as willing to part with their money to pay kids to play games.
