Thank god for church

I can understand how you think your point of view is the only one that matters.

Let’s take a step back from your narrow view and take a look. They believe the same fairy tales you do. They have the same magic book. Celebrate the birth of Jesus just like you. You can hate your brother, but he’s still yours.
Not that you asked me, but for the sake of discussion, I am at least a little conflicted about what to think of the Mormons. They do believe in the deity of Jesus and He is central to their faith. They also believe in the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so they are Christians by most objective measures.

I am a Protestant Baptist myself, but I have no doubt that we will see Mormons, Catholics and Jews in Heaven. The aim of the Baptist is not to get your instruction from man, including preachers and religious leaders or someone else's interpretation of the Bible, but from your own prayerful and deliberate study of the Bible. After all, we all fall short and no man with worthy of worship.

Yet another Revenue Sharing Scenario

What's to stop the College's from funneling "leftover" revenue sharing money to company's that will then turn around the use it for NIL?

This may not apply to some of the smaller conferences, but let's take the SEC teams as an example. There is a known money advantage with the SEC teams where they will get, say, $100 million per team whereas ACC schools only get $50 million (I don't know the exact numbers, but there is a clear discrepancy). But across all Colleges, every college has to adhere to the $20.5 million revenue sharing cap. Thus, the SEC teams will have a surplus of funds to channel elsewhere (facilities, etc.). However, what is to stop those schools from hiring a company to perform work at the college or for the athletic department (i.e. provide food for the team, cut the grass, etc.) at some inflated rate with the expectation that the owner of that company, who happens to be a fan/alumni/donor turns around and uses the extra earnings to contribute to NIL and pay a player. So in a round about way, this NIL money was originally from the college. It just flowed through a few different channels and hands first.

Essentially, you may see the Athletic Departments start using a lot of local or "family owned" businesses for food, catering, clothes, gear, etc. so that the money makes it way back to the players. Thus, seems like Clemson's number 1 priority with spending any kind of money should be to use Clemson Alumni companies when ever possible.
