[QUOTE="Techster, post: 990474, member: 360"] That's a very good point. I was alluding specifically to how traditonal fans think of NIL, but NIL can come through various channels and it doesn't all have to come through fan donations. To your point, when NIL started, a LOT of people pointed to GT and how being located in Atlanta can play a HUGE role for our program. GT just didn't have the success to make it get off the ground. Businesses and donors are not going throw money at an athlete if that athlete doesn't have any "pop" in the public consciousness. Can you imagine the NIL opportunities Lethal Weapon 3 and some of Hewitt's teams would have raked in in Atlanta, and possibly nationally? If Stoudamire continues with the current trajectory of winning and recruiting, I think we GT can finally leverage Atlanta's business opportunities. The beautiful thing about college basketball, especially at a school like GT, is you can have success quicker. Once that success comes, and if GT can leverage Atlanta for NIL opportunities, it becomes a self perpetuating machine. Recruits will see Stoudamire winning and getting NIL opportunities with Atlanta's businesses, and they will want to be part of a winning culture and our program leveraging business opportunities for them. Rinse, repeat. [/QUOTE]
