NILSU Event Tonight was interesting

Apparently smartphone app called Match Point is the main player in connecting players and businesses/brands right now.

That works for the gymnastics team but that ain't gonna cut it in football.

That probably was the intention,

But A&M and others have other intentions.

Yeah

Am I correct in assuming that most NIL deals are to be set up to pay monthly or in some other incremental way instead of just a big lump sum of cash? For instance Mathews was rumored to be offered $450000, but it seems likely that this would be the total amount of the deal that would be payed out over time if he stayed for 3 years.

Jimmy Smith was on WWL this evening talking about it. The deals aren’t given to any player up front. They’re paid in 3 & 6 month increments. The example he used was they get a little bonus to sign. Then at the end of spring ball you get a check. Then the beginning of the season you get a check. Then at the end of the season you get a check. And they have the right to pull the NIL contract for any reason. And they are signing contracts like professional athletes. Aggy has an entire team of lawyers setting up LLC’s for the bigger recruits and handling taxes and stuff like that.

When you hear Jimbo say they’ve never paid for a recruit he’s absolutely correct. The Aggy network is humming in the shadows.

Those are the generic deals that real local companies are giving out.

arse&m set up fake shell companies and had people donate.

The players will get these generic deals too but the slush fund got them to commit.

These deals are more for the players already on campus.

Need to call my boy at 525 8000

Clear pay to play, has nothing to do with the name image and likeness of the player. Complete bullshite and NCAA has to stop it.

Yeah clear pay to play is basically the only caveat / rule. The player must return a service for the cash. Can be taking a picture. Commercial. Social media posts for you. Some level of service. One interesting example was say you got the baseball players to come valet cars for you at an event. $500 per player. The player is more than likely just gonna be sitting around their apartment. Why not come make $500 and engage with the fans.

Where is Todd Graves in all this? I feel like he would have more money than all of them.
