If everybody that loved the sport that was able to help, helped, we\u2019d be in a whole different ballgame,\u201d said Rick Nakashima, owner of Ruby Tuesday Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>After a taxpayer-funded NIL bill fell short in this year\u2019s legislative session, state business leaders answered the call. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, Bank of Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank, Matson and prominent donors Jack Tsui and Walter Dods announced they will collectively be donating $1 million a year to the school\u2019s NIL fund.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be crazy to say that we\u2019re gonna be a Texas, Alabama, Oregon, whatever the very top tier, but I think we can be in the next tier down and yet without the NIL money, it\u2019s hard to do,\u201d said Nakashima.<\/p>\n<p>Nakashima, a longtime supporter of UH Athletics, started \u201cTailgate with Timmy\u201d last year \u2014 a night where fans can meet the football coaches and players while providing a boost to the team.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=2584\">First Hawaiian Bank to acquire Tri Counties Bank<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve really lost ground with the mainland with the NIL,\u201d said Nakashima. \u201cThe thing though that I always tell people when I get the \u2018We should just drop this sport or football,\u2019 I tell them no look what Tomey did, Wagner, June Jones, Rolo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To highlight the impact of this type of event, Nakashima points to the story of Jackson Harris. Last year, in his lone season in Manoa, the star wideout racked up over 900 receiving yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns before entering the transfer portal with his sights set on a Power Five program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, because of the lack of NIL funds, he\u2019ll be at LSU (Louisiana State University) next year, which I\u2019m happy for him. He\u2019s a good kid,\u201d said Nakashima.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot trying to be negative towards Jackson, but if we had more money, we would have paid him and we\u2019d have this future NFL player for another year,\u201d Nakashima added.<\/p>\n<p>The second \u201cTailgate with Timmy\u201d is set for Tuesday, July 21, at Ruby Tuesday in Moanalua.
