NIL donation information

As a follow up, season tickets for women's basketball last year was $125/seat. If we have 15 home games next year then $2 × 15 games is only $30 more per ticket for $155 annually. If 2,000 season tickets were sold that could add up with $2 per ticket per game going to an NIL fund. I realize not every ticket is going to be stubbed each game for an NIL donation, but the funds would definitely accrue.
For that matter if $2 is too much maybe there could be a $1 option.
Just got reply about stubbing. Forgot about digital aspect, but anyway appreciate your getting the drift & feedback!
 
A quick calculation using statistics posted by Middle Tennessee for the women's basketball team. In 13 games MT averaged 3954 fans per game.
If we use the $2 ticket allocation per paid ticket average for an NIL subsidy this is an example of how much could be easily brought in based on 3954 fans per game.
Let's take into consideration some fans may elect to totally pass on adding a buck or 2 towards a ticket purchase for NIL while others may want to give an additional $5. After all we do have some pretty passionate fans. So it's possibly not a far reach for a $2 average.
3954 fans per game x $2 x 13 home games = $102,804 in NIL money collectively. Divided among 15 scholarship athletes comes to almost $7,000/student athlete annually.
Not let's take a trip to Miami money, but certainly some nice spending money to assist on paying bills, & a dinner night out.
Remember odds are our ticket sales will be better in 2024-25 than 2023-24, which means a possibly better collective than even calculated above.
Anyway these were just some calculations for a possible means to an end. Not sure if anything can be created from it, but as Ideleon5 mentioned it is something under consideration. If possible could be a simple, but effective manner of helping us in recruiting top talent, & retaining them from the transfer portal issues.
