    So is a day coming where people donate more to some NIL fund than the Bulldog Club? If it really gets better players I'd rather donate to the NIL fund.

    Do MSU businesses get asked to help?

    Has our head coach gone to the podium like Oregeron & asked people to help?

    This is the rumor yet no one seems to have much interest in communicating with people that can help
    Who communicated this rumor to you?

    Ight, I got dis. I will step in, I have 500 in Vcash. Where do I send this to make some stuff happen? If that is not enough well then the free education, free food, free housing, free travel, free clothing, free tutoring, free exposure and whatever else they get to play a wonderful game should be enough.

    How about the owners of elitedawgs create a fund we can all donate to that goes to NIL deals for players. I think 17 TSUN Fund by THE Elitedawgs sounds good. I would donate a 100 a month for it.

    I'm in for 100 a month too.

    I think we could raise 5k a month easy. Then have 5 players a month do a QandA on here and pay them 1k each for it.

    Forget q&a just have them take a picture with a custom shirt on and post it on social media. Make it super easy for them.

    Do a tshirt a month that people can order and find someone to drop ship them. Another way to raise funds for the cause. Have the athletes wear the shirt of the month and post on social media. Pay them 500 a month plus split 50% of the profit with everyone who was that month athlete. One defense starter one offense starter one defense 2nd teamer one offense 2nd teamer and 5th person could be a special teamer or true freshman that doesn?t fall in the above.

    I think Shotgun made this entire thread up to melt over recruiting again like he does every year. We have 5 to 6 spots left but we're struggling... please

    Where is your decimal? Is that 100.00 or 1.00 per month?

    It's a pretty simple story we've seen play out over history.

    I, as lord of the manor, enter into contract with you, serf, to work on my land. In exchange for your labor I will give you the scraps of my food and the rotten shed housing as housing. You should be grateful as I have deemed them supremely expensive and the rental rates go up 10+% per year. I set the price, there is no negotiation, and you have no other option to continue this path. I don't care if you only need 3 years to get to the NFL which discriminates on age (with good reason imo, but still a valid criticism).

    Do you see how un-American that sounds? How close to slavery that strikes?

    The fry cook should make enough to live without fear of homelessness and be comfortable if he works for 40+ hrs a week. This isn't a zero sum game. The owner can pay a decent wage or his business can fail. We're slowly seeing that be the case across america.

    Here is an example of the sheds and table scraps the poor poor souls enjoy and receive..... my gosh, the players are dumpster diving for food at the 7:15 mark.
