NIL - Is our NIL team doing this? If not, why not?

[confucius say]

Part of the problem is no one really gets anything for their NIL contribution. Like I posted above, if I can pay $150/month and get something pretty damn good in return I'm in like Flint. And I'm not the only one either.

Hell, when the university is able to work with VISA or Master Card to have a NIL credit card that gives 10% of your purchase back to NIL, I'm there too.

If every BC member gave just $100 a month you'd get something awesome in return-a playoff appearance.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I like where you're going.

I also wish we'd do the 10% "talent fee" on season tickets like TN is doing. I'd pay $462 instead of $420 for my season ticket if that extra $42 is going to acquire better talent.

In 2 years of beating the NIL drum, I've come to 2 conclusions:

1. Our fanbase hates it and doesn't want to do it

2. If they do it, they want something in return


And trust me folks, Charlie is not an idiot. He is well aware of all of this and is trying new things each and every day.

Agree!!

I truly dont blame them. Just think you have to play cards dealt.

Agree fully.
How do we change number 1? If lebby wins (8-4), would that be enough to get people on board?
I wish he'd come out and say it like Lane did. We need players if we want to win.

[TrapGame]

I wish our fans would understand the something tangible you get in return is better players and more enjoyment out of something they already are going to invest time in anyway.

Then I've got better things to do with my $150/month.

He has. Charlie has. Selmon has. Nothing is going to change it. They can beat that drum til their blue in the face, but until everyone gets rowing in the same direction it won't matter. People have to buy in and know that the ROI is we have a better opportunity to win. And that won't happen. Not with this fan base.

Then don't complain about losing.
If our fans can't give at least $20 a month, they shouldnt complain about us having a G5 OL and a FCS DL.

I remember lane doing it in a postgame presser after they lost 52-17.
As soon as lebby gets a win and a hint of goodwill, I hope he does the same.

He needs to get some goodwill first. If he could pull a miracle and get a couple of SEC wins then he could bang that drum when we get drilled.

Matt played Yurecek's presser today where he pointed out Ole Miss Collective has 5000 members while Ark has 1000. He said they need 10,000 homes giving $150 per month to be NIL competitive. Because Walmart, Tyson, Stevens and Hunt ain't gonna do it. Matt said bull hockey!

To be fair I agree with this, but it's like shouting because the sun came up.

When the music plays, you dance.

The students in sprots mgt or whatever degree they get to work in an ahtletic department should all be working for the NIL,

1) Calling fans trying to get them on $20-$100 per month.
2) Working booths all around the stadium signing fans up
3) Soliciting businesses
4) dreaming up[ other stuff

Set goals, make thousands of calls and do it constantly.

This effort never stops.

Well good thing I already give so I can complain then. But, I'm not taking away from my family so 4 stars Bobby and Johnny can come here and leave in two years b/c they want more cheese. My $25/month ain't nothing and I can miss it. But if they want more, then I do too.

[Cooterpoot]

I think this is the disconnect I have. I enjoy state sports, but in absolutely zero way is my actual happiness tied into it. We are a perennial cellar dweller outside of baseball and sometimes basketball. I would be the most depressed human on earth if my actual happiness was tied into MSU sports results. y'all need to touch grass once in a while because the rest of us ain't funding this NIL scam. Better find some other hobbies, my friend.

He said 100 a month right? That would be 12 million yearly. You don't need that much to be competitive in just football.

I'm glad you give $25 a month. That's awesome.
If everybody did that, we'd be fine because we would have the big donors to add to it.

Out of curiosity I tried to scan the QR code for the BI on the Jumbotron Saturday night and couldn't get it to work. I only tried once so maybe I just didn't get it right but seems like we could have a better way to sign up at games.
I wonder if you could arrange it so if you use your phone to scan your ticket it could send a link to the BI. Maybe not to sign up but for a one time donation. If you make it easy for someone to give it's a lot easier to get money. Maybe have people hover around the beer lines to get some donations. Drunk people are the best targets.
