NIL Proposal: QB Freshman
I am thinking about an NIL for prospective QBs. My idea is to crowd source the position for the class i.e. QB 2023, QB 2024 etc. whomever signs would receive the funds. This would be a legal way to recruit top QBs (I believe) as any player isn’t mentioned until they sign with Michigan. I believe this could be effective in recruiting as the ever-growing fund would have a social media presence that fans could share with prospective recruits.
Would this be interesting to you all? Am I missing anything glaring? Any input, like what are the best platforms to use for crowdsourcing?
Thanks!
I don't want to bankroll 18 year olds.
How do you feel about bankrolling arthritic kneed, 50+ year olds that rather enjoy playing poker? I'm all about that NIL money, and happy to wear a 'Darker Blue' t-shirt everywhere I go.
The shirt has to say Darker Blue Sucks and I'll give you $12 and I'll ask my wife if I can buy you the shirt too
I'd rather wear a "I heart Carlos Spicyweiner" shirt
With his profile picture on the front...
I miss Carlos
Seems like a good idea. I’m not sure of how the legal stuff works, but we should do this plus OL and DL.
So, I'm thinking about the post spring fretting about the linebacker position and I'd like to offer an alternate proposal:
The Annual 'We just bought Alabama's top player at our position of greatest need' NIL Fund.
Probably going to have to have a connection to hookers and blow if you want to compete with the ess eeeee seee
serious question for the OP Msmittakins, how much would you contribute to this fund annually?
About tree fiddy
Not much, maybe $10 a year. Although (hypothetically) if you told me that $30 of my money could help land Dante Moore, that would be worth it to me. I don’t imagine people putting hundreds down. If you have that kind of money, you should probably help people in need instead. This is just a way to contribute a few bucks to help acquire talent on behalf of the fan base.
"if you're rich, you should help the less fortunate. If you're poor, you should give your money to a quarterback."
Whoa, that is some binary thinking there lol.
We're just a quarter of a million people donating $30 away from buying Nico Iamaleava!
Michigan would never approve this lol
Why? If it doesn’t violate any rules… Why? Or are you just saying this because this is how you feel? (Seriously asking)
Can I ask a legit question? Why are we always giving the bankrolls and the scholarship to the lucky and talented kids? Shouldn't we be helping the kids who aren't so great? Aren't they in greater need?
Interesting point. Also, why do the brainiacs get the merit scholarships? Shouldn't we give free rides to the dumbest kids who aren't likely to score good jobs later?
Doesn't Ohio do that already?
I hope Michigan is giving their scholarships to the lucky and most talented. Football is entertainment, and I want my team to be the best. I try to be a good person in other areas of my life lol.
You think that is a legit question?
That’s a terrific idea.
Okay, looks like most people hate the idea or don’t care. I can take a hint! I will not proceed lol.
If you've got money to burn you can just send it my way.
Do they give the money back if they enter the transfer portal?
I'll throw in $5
Isn’t this exactly what the NCAA says you can’t do? Paying a player just to pick a school?
Yeah that’s my interpretation of the rule too. You’re allowed to pay a player for the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). Paying a player for choosing your school is still illegal. You have to at least feign following the rules. Openly paying a player for just being the QB commit of the class is a no-no.
Thread hijack….OT Josh Conerly to Oregon 🤨
This is gross and a well intended bad idea that only escalates Also already pay the school enough for my seats and since Trump removed the tax break it’s even more expensive
