Rich Rodriguez jokes about NIL funding during CWS with Pat McAfee

During the College World Series in Omaha, West Virginia football coach Rich Rodriguez humorously appealed to Pat McAfee for financial support for the Mountaineers' Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) initiatives. McAfee contributed significantly to WVU fans' victorious effort in the Jell-O shot challenge, where they purchased over 28,000 individual shots. Rodriguez joked that he tried to persuade McAfee to redirect his financial support from the bar to the team's needs. As Rodriguez enters his second year of coaching in Morgantown, he hopes for improved results following a 4-8 season last year.
