Boise State averaged 35,867 fans per home game this season. If every one of those fans donated $10/month, that would result in $4,304,040 in extra NIL opportunities for our student-athletes to represent the University, city, Treasure Valley and state. #BleedBlue

ESPN is successful because of SIDs. Sure you save a few $ eliminating these positions, but your coaches & athletes will be worse off for it. BYU joins the likes of Memphis and Miami (Ohio) to mortgage their messaging and identity because they couldn’t see the whole picture.

The MAC won’t play football this fall. The B1G is pausing football practice progression. College 🏈 is on the precipice. If you want to see a kickoff take place this year, wear a mask. Even if it’s too late for that, wear a mask so we have a fighting chance to play 🏀.
