SMU alumni and businesses from the Dallas area have announced the commitment of over $1M annually for an NIL program called "PonyUp" for SMU football. The commitment is intended to make SMU the nationwide NIL leader.⁣ ⁣ By pledging $1M annually, it means that each of the 105＋ players on SMU’s roster could receive $9,500 each year if that money was divided evenly. These NIL opportunities are all centered around helping the players in the present while also preparing them for life after college.⁣ ⁣ [source: @businesswire]⁣ ⁣ #afrugalathlete #SMU #PonyExpress #PonyUpDallas #PonyUp #NIL #moneymanagement
