Speaking of NIL

[HallGuy23]

With the season under way. Shouldn’t the players be doing something with their name, image, or likeness to earn their money? Where’s the meet and greets, the autograph sessions, the private events? Where’s Mike McBride, does he do anything during the season or does he only come out in the off season like the groundhog to beg for donations only to disappear again?

Where’s the incentive for anybody to give to NIL? Where’s the incentive to go to the games? $75 per seat to sit in the 100 section to watch this team? Are they crazy. Two tickets, gas, tolls, parking, food, babysitter. I’d easily be over $350 and get next to nothing out of it.

NIL can be both how they get paid and what they have to do for it

The whole theory behind nil has gone out with the trash. It's P4P pure and simple--they're pro players. Hopefully there's still a few student athletes out there.

I know. And that’s why it’s going to fail at schools similar to us. Essentially it’s no different than what the retail sector has done with self checkout/bagging.

You’re being asked to replace a feature that used to be provided.

The fans are now responsible for funding the team while receiving no tangible change in what you receive. So either a stake in ownership must be provided or some other tangible effort for your funding. Otherwise where’s the incentive to keep giving towards something that used to be free?

Self checkout is great. This isn't
