re: NILSU Event Tonight was interesting

There’s plenty of money to get LSU up to snuff, it just needs organization. These posters hating on LSU are the same fricks that don’t have a pot to piss in and think donating 100 a year to TAF makes them a big deal. The people with real money will make it happen, but A&M has more resources and always will.

Canes was well represented tonight. They are working it. No doubt.

I'm really just not understanding how A&M is pulling it off. I understand the deep pockets, but I don't understand how the pockets are emptying without anything in return. You'd have to be an idiot just to hand over a bunch of money to a teenager simply to wear your team's uniform for maybe 1 year. NIL was meant for kids to get paid for companies using their name, image, and likeness...which would be mutually beneficial. At this point, it is nothing like that. Not my money, though.

How long until collective bargaining becomes necessary, do you think ?

That’s hilarious

Some very good, and IMHO accurate points above.
But if you want to do this right (and by right I mean BIG) you get former players in the NFL to hook up our current players with the same licensing agents and companies the NFLSU players are using.
You still do the MatchPoint. You still do the lawyers, non-profits, and shell corps. But if you want to beat them you leverage NFLSU players ON TOP of that by getting the current players names in circulation for some nationwide NIL deals.
Say it isn't possible? Those shoe companies dealing with NCAA basketball say hi.
Those same companies with deals with the likes of Burrow, White, or Honey Badger will take a look at the reach of the LSU brand (and not the player) and want to get ahead of the game just like with the basketball players.

The NCAA knew the NIL was coming and did nothing to setup rules to control it. The university’s don’t need to worry as all accounts payable are provided by the business alumni pockets.. they will be washing money and parents will be receiving paper bags with cash like always but now the difference is school’s will not be accountable. I’m assuming it’s okay to give dad and mom a job doubling their salary as an incentive too?

Well yeah that’s where this will inevitably dry up. I think A&M is just desperate to buy that championship so they’re going all in.
Even the deepest of pockets won’t want to invest this yearly. Unless schools start treating them like owners and cutting them in on profits. In which case the sport is dead

Leads me to believe Texas A&M was doing this way before it became legal. So now that it’s legal they are skilled at doing it.

Literally anyone with deep arse pockets should get involved at some level. But the money will go a loooonnggg way. The top 1% of players are making the big bucks. Everyone else is much less.
Posted on 2/2/22 at 8:46 pm to Batman86
Yeah who are some of the big guns that showed up? Like where the frick is Walkons? Will not go there again unless they get involved?

I don't to say I hope the A&M boosters get burned but I hope the A&M boosters get burned. It's haphazard spending. They deserve whatever they get. Also, you can obviously buy players now but a whole lot more goes into championships (development, culture, loyalty, etc).
Posted on 2/2/22 at 8:48 pm to LSUVAFAN
Yeah a lot of this could have been avoided had the NCAA embraced the inevitable and spent years putting better rules and guidelines in place. Instead they tried to fight until the bitter the end, the dam broke and all hell broke loose.
What A&M is doing obviously isn’t in the spirit of what NIL was meant to be , but since the rules are so broad it’s legal and I can’t really blame them for exploiting it

You have to take a look at politics and look at how politicians get the bulk of their campaign funds. PACs
Boosters can now essentially do the same thing, just as a bullshite shell organization that everyone pools money into and then dolls out to each player

I'd bet their entire class cost them less than what they pay Jimbo yearly.

The fact that we all expect private businesses to fund 18 year olds so they will come play for a football team that makes those businesses zero money is wild to me.That’s the best system the NCAA could come up with?I love LSU but I wouldn’t give any of them my money so I can’t really get mad if we are behind on NIL because others don’t wanna give away their money either.I want LSU to succeed but if we not putting our money up can’t really complain if others aren’t lined up to do it either.I’m sure I’m of the minority with this opinion but oh well
Posted on 2/2/22 at 8:52 pm to DRock88
Yeah I think it’s much harder to buy a championship in football then say basketball, it takes years of cultivating that culture.
Bama isn’t just good because they buy the best players, like you said a lot more goes in it.

These players are going to be all over local ads going forward. It takes time for creative to be made…signing them is the first step.
