Jimmy Cinnabon Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm highlighting the university with the biggest endowments who have D-1 wrestling programs: Based on 2022 U.S. News figures: 1. Harvard University $50,877,680,000 2. Stanford University $36,338,794,000 3. Princeton University $35,126,200,000 4. University of Pennsylvania $20,724,351,000 5. University of Michigan—Ann Arbor $17,095,088,000 6. Duke University (NC) $12,692,472,000 7. University of Virginia $9,703,267,510 8. Cornell University (NY) $9,346,229,362 Of these top universities it seems only Michigan is utilizing their vast reserves to buy transfers. The rest of these players need to get in the game! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionel Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Pretty sure you can't use university endowment funds for NIL. However, let's start a new thread about it anyway. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it would be the dumbest thing to do if they did. It's almost as if.... they don't understand what it is. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyYe2024 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It would be awesome if Harvard spent all their money on D1 wrestling champs to come in. Stanford should invest into this too. I see Alirez could go to Stanford. Very likely it will not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or let's say you dropped the cut off to 34 could two teams compete for hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Of these top universities it seems only Michigan is utilizing their vast reserves to buy transfers. The rest of these players need to get in the game!" Dumbest idea ever. Schools use endowments (interest) to fund the programs and sometimes coaches salaries. Paying for transfers for the next ___ years depletes it and then those wrestlers are gone. That's only one of the negative aspects. Yes, money can flow through different avenues... one is called an endowment and the other is called NIL. How about just giving to NIL if. you want your school to get transfers? Edited May 3 by Idaho Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 No doubt here ,NIL is a big deciding point in selecting a college,where someone has the talent to wrestle anywhere he wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint: the same source that funds NIL So these schools should have the least NIL available because the donors' money went to the endowment. Who has the smallest endowment?

Who has the smallest endowment? That would only be true if each school’s donor pool had the same collective amount of money, which you obviously know is not the case.
