re: I spoke with Eli Ricks and co

Ricks...lets end all of the speculation. Grow some fricking nutts and come out and say you are not coming back.
You're a PAB in my book and you dont deserve to put a LSU jersey on ever again. Selfish arse bitch...Get to stepping

Just a simple see you later; good luck.

How long before Orgeron becomes an NIL agent?

I wonder if/how LSU can get some guys like these on our “under the table” pay roll. Quite honestly, if I were LSU, I’d prob try to monetarily incentivize companies within the state to create new, constant, and high paying NIL deals. It’s a matter of time before this occurs anyway, might as well be ahead of the curve. Would be a great recruiting and retention tool.

Everybody wants to brag about Huey P, especially in the same breath as LSU so might as well do what the Kingfish would have.

Marketing firm(s). Let them play middle men. They pay to have the rights for the players, business hire the firm(s) at an upcharge to use those same players.

I.e., the players NIL becomes a retail, not wholesale, commodity. Just like you don't buy your Snickers direct from Mars or your Natty Light direct from Busch in St. Louis.

The benefit of this is two fold:
1. Adds a layer of protection for the school's involvement known as plausible deniability.

2. If you hire the marketing firm for other things, big or small, you can overpay there to make sure you are getting to as many players/recruits as possible.

As for the people who say you can't make it work because those firms or businesses want a return on their investment...
- yeah, and labor unions are ONLY for better working conditions, the mob has nothing to do with it
- No one gives recruits impermissible benefits because it is against the rules
- all those BYU walk ons are damn sure worth it right?
- we're the government and we're here to help... we don't play favorites
- Journalists don't lie
- Wedding vows are binding

... Those business will be your bagmen. The marketing firms are the 501c3 who laundered it.

On that note: Non-Profits are/will be great for this. Think about it. You setup non-profit for climate change, DEI, David Duke Foundation, or whatever strikes your fancy no matter where your beliefs lie. You take "donations" from boosters. Foundation needs advertising praising the virtue of those donors, you hire the marketing firm who has the 3rd string players on retail.

Taylor Hamm and Ponamsky are now both NIL agents so I definitely believe the scumbag part

---

Ponamsky isn’t with Hanny’s company is he?

I spoke with a few people close to him.

It’s definitely not a unanimous decision for him to do this. Some in his camp want him to stay at LSU.

I have the names of the guys from someone in his camp, who are questioning the decision. I made my own proclamations about the guys being scumbags based on the info I was told. They are.

He’s soft. He was very much an all about me dude which you have to be to a certain degree but still. Plus he had the fattest face I’ve ever seen on a skinny little dude
