Would you support a fan supported NIL cooperative, if it helped LSU land more talent?

I've been reading on Tiger Rant about how LSU can't compete with other schools in terms of NIL, so would you contribute to fan NIL cooperative?
Lord knows we all spend a lot of money on LSU stuff every year, so it would seem like a no-brainer if we each contributed $20, $50 or whatever amount you could afford that we could build a pretty substantial amount of money is a short time.
Let me make this clear: This is just a generic question and I don't know the ins and outs of a cooperative, but with new cooperatives popping up all over the country to assist other programs land more talent, I thought it was worth a discussion.
I would gladly give a few dollars if it could truly help LSU land more talent. So would you support something like this?

They literally have Bayou Traditions

This just shows how bad LSU is at advertising. What you ask for literally exists and it's called Bayou Traditions

The teams that are trying to make up for a lack of mega-boosters are doing so with setups using large numbers of monthly donations.
To each their own. If 5,000 fans want to throw $20/month at a collective so LSU gains another $1.2M/year to improve the roster, and they think that’s a better entertainment investment for them than going to a movie or getting an appetizer, then they should.
If LSU is winning, then all LSU content (podcasts, message boards, watching the games, etc) is just better. If massed micro-donations improved the experience for those fans, it’s worth it.

A % of beer sales would put LSU atop the collective ranks!!

No. I don’t think players should be paid in college

LSU and other SEC schools each received a payout of around $49.9 million. From the SEC 2022. So NO!
LSU earned $199 million in operating revenues during the 2022 fiscal year, $77.4 million more than last year's total, according to the school's annual audit reports in 2021 and 2022. So NO!

You really think we’re getting the top qb, rb, and wr in America for 2025 without a viable NIL?
Should we all contribute, yes if you care about LSU athletics. Any perceived disadvantage is by BK design not to disrupt a locker room. The way he handled Heard speaks volumes (and I agree it was right approach).

If the NCAA wants them to make money they should just let the schools pay them. Im not donating shite to some 18 year old who will transfer the following year if he isn’t on the cover of Sports Illustrated, while the school makes 100s of millions. It’s a dumb system getting abused already so just cut the red tape and let the schools dish their money out, they have plenty.

NO - That genie needs to go back in the bottle. But at the end of the day if you look at who is paying LSU NIL's .... one way or another fans are paying for it.

TAF is only $100 to join.

Waste of money!

No. LSU makes enough money and I am not paying college athletes that already get a free education, housing, meals, tutoring while other kids can’t even afford to go to college anymore without significant loans.
NIL is the worst thing to happen in college sports and should likely just end it and create real minor leagues for pro sports to pay for on their own.

No thanks. I'm not paying into a sport that is rigged for specific programs, especially when mine isn't one of them.

Can Bayou Traditions actually put out good products? I don’t want a $40 t-shirt with a goat logo on it. Make some actual good products and I would buy stuff from there to support the NIL.

It’s shameful that a free 100k education is not enough. The portal and NIL needs to have definitive guidelines in place asap. Definitely can’t blame the players for taking advantage of a very broken system.
