I’ve been thinking about this for a while but it is prime off-season content, so here it goes:

How much NIL money would it take to recruit a championship-caliber team to my Division III alma mater, and what would that entail?

What would you need to offer to convince a MAC grad transfer tackle, or say a top D2 QB, to play at this level?

Presumably, guys with serious NFL aspirations wouldn’t see this as an appealing option but I’m perfectly willing to believe that it could be done with quality players… for the right price.

The program would also need a GM type-role to manage all this, something that most DIII programs don’t have. And GAs to scour the portal for guys fitting these unique profiles. Location could play a bigger factor than otherwise, and other stuff that I’m forgetting, but…

$1.5 million/year? If I had the money, which I do not, I’d say that’s doable.
