Big Cat Honors Deal With Mark Ingram, Gives $1K in NIL Funds to Alabama

A deal is a deal, and the reckoning has come for Dan “Big Cat” Katz.

On Week 3’s edition of “Big Noon Kickoff,” Big Cat, a Wisconsin alum, and Mark Ingram, who starred at running back for Alabama, agreed to send $10,000 in NIL to the other’s school, depending on which team won the Big Ten–SEC matchup. 

With Alabama handling Wisconsin, 38-14, Big Cat honored that wager. Granted, he gave Ingram’s Crimson Tide $1,000 in NIL dollars, instead of $10,000, on Saturday’s edition of “Big Noon Kickoff” – but not without a burn.

“A bet is a bet. You guys whooped us, so fair is fair, $1,000 to the Alabama NIL [fund]. Perhaps [it] goes to [head coach] Kalen DeBoer’s buyout? I do not know,” Massive Cat stated.

Within the wake of Week 3, each No. 14 Alabama and Wisconsin at the moment are 2-1. The Crimson Tide had been upset in Week 1 by Florida State, 31-17.

Wisconsin hosts Maryland in Week 4, whereas Alabama has a bye this weekend, adopted by an epic SEC conflict on the highway in opposition to Georgia on Sept. 27.

Week 4’s version of “Massive Midday Kickoff” is in Salt Lake Metropolis for a ranked Big 12 showdown between No. 17 Texas Tech and No. 16 Utah (noon ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).
