The MESA Foundation is different from many collectives at other schools, paying players equally and requiring participation at community service events
“I didn’t necessarily like it,” Smith says of name, image and likeness becoming a de facto ATM for college athletes. “It seemed like it changed the tradition and structure of amateur athletics.”Advertisement
It began with 11 scholarship players on the men’s basketball team and recently has expanded to include the women’s basketball team at a lower level. The budget is $350,000 for the first year, with the 11 men’s players receiving about $2,000 each per month through June if they’re seniors and through August if they’re underclassmen.
The MESA board also includes Mike Lalich, Jason Tetley, Jeff Goodall Jr. and former SDSU point guard DJ Gay. It is completely donor driven and recently received tax-exempt, non-profit status. Another unique twist: All 11 players receive the same amount, senior or freshman, starter or backup, all-American or all-bench.
