re: LSU announces "Bayou Traditions" NIL Collective

Fair enough, but at least in that I’m getting some value for my money. I could be wrong, but this is likely targeting people who are already giving. I really can’t imagine someone not having a stake in the product (season tickets) and giving to this. That’s even a more ludicrous notion to me. If anything I’d sponsor a player if they advertised for my business, thus creating some value for me.

Which is great if NIL was working as intended. Unfortunately, we have moved on to the "cash up front for my signature" portion of the play

And that "for-profit" athletic department you keep talking about can't actually pay the players, it's the one part of this whole thing the schools can actually get penalized for

So they create these shell collectives that people can they wash the money in and then pass it on to the players

Again, LSU has to either adapt and fall in line or fall behind, there's really no other option

That teen army of incels should be able to set the O and D lines for a decade.

I dont think you're wrong but their are a ton of out of state alumni / fans that are not able to travel to games on a regular basis that are more than willing to chip in 20 bucks a month since they aren't spending money on anything else. I normally can only make 1 football game a year and usually a baseball series or two depending on the schedule. So to me, 10 dollars a month just to get some more dumb shite to fill up my LSU room is not as outrageous as it probably seems to you.

Genuinely laughable perks

isn't the goal of donating to an NIL collective to be competitive on the recruiting trail and on the field?

Thats you perk, winning

I’d pay $100 a month if the signed thank you notes were coming from football and baseball players. My son is really into autographed stuff, and he would love to get something like that monthly.

I think there should be an option to either support the general NIL fund, or sport specific.
I also think the perks should be some type of preference points or TAF points.

If they just left it up to fans, I think more of us would rather watch a bunch of kids that wanted to be at LSU lose 12 games a year than watch a bunch of 18 year old hundred thousandaire mercenaries go 10-2.

Did you prefer watching football in the 90s?

Can you choose which team or athlete you want the money going towards?
