This is a great article with some insight and dollar figures. Lifetime Cardinal is doing work. Wouldn’t that be something if Canady stayed.

With some experts saying that bidding for Canady could reach as high as $1 million, Stanford finds itself in negotiations that could forever alter non-revenue sports. One source with knowledge of the talks would not disclose specific figures but said Stanford’s NIL collective, Lifetime Cardinal, was “giving their all” to retain the nation’s top returning player.

It's absolutely wild to me how quickly we've all embraced pay to play. I find myself thinking of the other ways we could spend $1m than to buy a slightly better chance at a national championship in a second-tier sport.

The folks contributing to Lifetime Cardinal have done so specifically intending their funds to go towards supporting National top caliber athletes and teams to represent Stanford. Those that contribute towards academic related endowments are doing their intent as well. Why can’t both co-exist and flourish?
