    Fan-Collective NIL for Baseball

    Guys I really think we as fans need to take charge on some of this NIL stuff. Does anybody on here, maybe homedog, understand If we could collectively use a foundation or some type of nonprofit to sponsor these kids. Hear me out. If somebody trustworthy were to run this I would be more than happy to contribute. $100 per person would add up really quick. Just think if we can get 15,000 fans to donate $100 that's 1.5 million that we can split among the roster players. That would be a really cool bonus. That could be collected over one weekend of baseball pretty easy - I would even be willing just to mail mine in as I live out of state. I will pay a lot of money as an insurance policy so not to have to watch us play like what I've seen this weekend. Is there anything to stop us from doing something like this?

    From what I can tell the rules surrounding the NIL are almost impossible to regulate so I'm guessing something could be done. I'd be willing to ante up. We've got to get more talent on campus IMMEDIATELY.

    This is my thought as well. And we need to get something done in the next 60 days I think to get them to campus by fall.

    I would pay $150 for personal 30 min Q&A with a coach. I would even sign an NDA.

    Or even a baseball banquet talking about recruiting, the season, and next year would worth 150. They can even serve hotdogs and BYOB (bring your own bourbon)

    It would really be fun to try and hit a 97 mph fastball from Mikey Tepper. 15 pitches, $10 per pitch

    I really like those ideas.

    Except I don't know if I want to face one of our pitchers after some of the comments I've made this year. I'll probably have to just wear at least one.

    I have personally excommunicated a minimum of 4 pitchers from our university so far this season. I have a feeling at least 6 of those pitches would be hunting an ear hole.

    Better do it quick. Sankey and the Pac 12 commish already trying to get Congress to regulate it nationally.

    Another idea, my wife has forced me to go on vacations with her Bunco night friends. I have enough time served in 2021 and 2022 to attend a MSU baseball fantasy camp for a few days. I'm talking grown man camp.

    (1) Help us get good for Corporate Softball
    (2) Get coached up by Geautreau to hit bombs
    (3) Get to see legit curve balls like a real 12-6 - and try to hit them
    (4) Get to play in the Dude

    Seriously, Duke offers exactly this: https://kacademy.com/wp-content/uplo...pions-1024.jpg

    Major league baseball fantasy camp costs $3K.

    If MSU accounting department plays ball, that $3K can be a straight donation for the participants. Like, they buy all the SWAG from NIL participants, hotel at NIL participant, food from NIL vendors, etc.

    A MSU fantasy baseball camp would be a guaranteed sell out. That's another great idea.

    Cohen isnt going to push the envelope on anything. His focus will be on cost cutting.

    The exact opposite actually.

    The school can't arrange or contribute money to these collectives like The Bulldog Initiative. But Cohen is on board with them.

    Reach out to Charlie, he is taking donations. You can even request your money be allocated to a certain position or player. There is really no reason we all shouldn't give 100-200 dollars at least. Probably a couple of times a year. We can all spare $25 a month.
