Dukes can only move forward by donating money to NIL funding.I dont like it but increasing funding to pay players
is only way to create this kind of success for Duquesne basketball into the future.

Sad but true. It has changed the game.

I would think some of our former noted alumni - like Norm Nixon, Willie Somerset, and others... would be willing to kick in some 'nil money' on the heels of this our most successful season in years.... It would be a chance to enhance their own legacies..

I love when people tell other people how they should spend their money. Anyone on this board can contribute to the athletic department in support of NIL money. Norm & Michael Cooper who went to Omaha Nebraska was worth a solid contribution towards the University.
