If you were lucky enough to win one of these mega jackpots, how much are you giving JMU/Duke Club/Madison Collective? And would you attach any restrictions or requirements?
Would you give funds for a specific coach, player via NIL funds, expanded stadium?

Well I'll put it this way... The AUBC would probably have a new name lol

JMU Softball and Baseball gonna be national powers.

Other side of BFS would be built

Also a nice donation to the endowment

This is fun question, and one that I've spent some time thinking about in the past.

JMU: Quite a bit. I could easily see myself carving out 5-10% of my total winnings to give to JMU, but I'd restrict it to endowing scholarships for top academic students who have a need for financial aid.
Duke Club: Whatever the minimum is to get my points to the point where I get my pick of seats, parking and some occasional access to behind-the-scenes stuff.
Montpellier Collective: Zero. I'm fine with NIL as it was originally intended, but I'm not forking over money to basically pay a player a salary. There are better uses for my hypothetical cash (see above regarding scholarships)

This is me. Endowed scholarships first to benefit students in perpetuity, some facility maybe, collectives: no.

Longhorn - there's still hope!

Do we have a Data Analytics or Data Science program? I would probably put money towards that. Otherwise, I'm taking my cash down to Belize for an early retirement.

The other side of the football stadium would be finished and those in the newly finished club level / party deck would be enjoying the fresh air on the Butler family terrace.

Honestly; I’d probably be the best / worst thing for JMU if I won. Ohhh you need this.. ok, now what? Lol
