When it comes to Name, Image and Likeness, some SMU alumni are looking to “Pony Up” the dough.
Businessman Paul Loyd, an SMU graduate and the person the school’s Loyd All-Sports Center is named after, will lead an alumni group that plans to contribute over $1 million annually to a NIL program tied to SMU football, according to a press release on Tuesday.
Former football players Eric Dickerson – a Hall of Famer at both the NFL and college level -- Luke Crossland, Dick Anderson, Kelvin Beachum and Richie Butler are also expected to support the program. The program will incorporate “NIL Learnships,” which they say will provide one-on-one mentor programs between players and business leaders.
SMU once received The Death Penalty for paying players, setting the football program back for decades. Now, the Pony Up program can do it legally in the NIL era.
