Thatcher Hurd donating all of his NIL earnings to local charities

Love to hear these stories.

Good for him
I saw where Gordon signed the entire women's hoops team to a NIL deal as well

Need to cut his NIL money and spend it on someone who'll appreciate it.

According to Jay, lots of baseball players do similar things with their NIL money.

yep, just the greatest sport on earth. Such high quality athletes

Crews

This is one guy that will absolutely get paid back in spades

His skills are well beyond Bregman's

He really didn't even possess pull power as a tool at this point, and Crews has power to all fields to go with speed

quote:

I know Crews and his family have donated a lot of money and also time since he got here. Particularly in the special needs community

---

Wasn’t Crews the one last year that gave up the scholarship money he was getting?

I know the Crews family is extremely wealthy.

I don’t remember that but it wouldn’t surprise me.


I know Mark Laird turned down scholarship money one year and I think Bregman did it as well.

Man that is awesome. Regardless of how he performs at LSU, he will be a fan favorite. Well done young man!

Baseball is just wild. Does this kid even have a full scholarship?

---

No baseball player gets a full athletic scholarship. He may have a full scholarship with athletic and academic.

A lot of college baseball players come from upper middle class and above families. It’s not a cheap sport to play as a youth and in high school just to get noticed by colleges anymore.

Add that to the fact you don’t get a full scholarship a player that LSU would consider to play for them that comes from a less fortunate family would just take the pro money.

Raph Rhymes gave his scholarship money up going into his senior year.

Was I confusing Laird with Raph or did they both do it?
