In the last few days Raising Canes has been handing out NIL deals like candy in Texas and Oklahoma. Maybe one of our guys or gals can nab a finger-lickin' deal with them, too.

So true. I was going over my proposed list of contractual obligations and after "joining Ed and I during our halftime dance routine," I realized that maybe I'll just let the Purple Lights Fund figure out where my dollars should go.
Many schools are in final stages of enacting bonuses.

Some will follow Ole Missβ lead: immediate $$ to those academically eligible. Some will base pay on GPA. Others will disburse $$ upon graduation.
βCoaches are going to want the (Ole Miss) model.βhttps://t.co/CnIifPV2XT
I'm sure this will start some heated discussions, but I do NOT believe college athletes should be paid. They are already getting a free education, room and board, and books. They will leave college without the tremendous financial burden other students have. That is more than enough pay in my opinion.SFA Jack Fanatic said:
What a joke the NCAA has become. Expect athletes at mid majors to be abandoning ship at even faster levels now, headed to Power Five schools to cash in on the money giveaways for "academic achievement".
Rewards for "academic achievement"?? Ha! Such as merely passing a course? Cha Ching! Getting a "B" or a "C" in a course rather than a "D" or an "F"? Cha Ching! Graduating from college? Cha Ching! Amateurism is dead. The power and money hungry Power Five schools have completely taken over the NCAA and ruined college athletics at the expense of every smaller college who does not have a never-empty ATM in their athletic department.

Track(and probably swimming) is probably a very interesting NIL space. Because you already have big companies that sponsor top athletes to train, but now they can do that while the student remains in college if they want. No longer does Athing Mu have to drop out of school to access that revenue and resources.PurpleOut said:
I wonder what/how much Auhmad Robinson is getting at A&M.
it did with Robinson...Best sprinter we ever had took the NIL and went to Aggieland... We need to watch out or we will not have Xavier Gipson next year... All the big boys are after him UT, AM,LSU,Baylor...SFA Jack Fanatic said:
SFA, its fans, and community had better get crackin' on making some NIL deals for Jacks and Ladyjacks or we're going to lose players to bigger schools with bigger budgets, wealthier alumni, and corporate connections such as this one between UConn and Gatorade. We've already lost the best track sprinter in school history. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an NIL deal or agreement involved in his departure to A&M.

Unless an alum wants to shell out money for an NIL deal I don't see how a local Nac business is going to benefit from a NIL deal with a student athlete.
You have a bunch of chain restaurants that don't care who we have as players unless there is a big upset (Duke/Bain) because people are going to go there no matter what.
Most local businesses are already well established and college kids aren't buying cars from Tipton or Rex Perry. When was the last time you saw a commerical for Butcher Boys?
The TV market isn't just Nacogdoches so you are competing with Longview, Tyler, and Lufkin as well.
Unless they are just big SFA supporters or want to do it out of the kindness of their heart I don't see many businesses doing any sort of NIL deals.
You do have to think outside the box a bit for SFA, but there's definitely more opportunities than just tv money. Social media is a huge area of opportunity locally.sfajack05 said:

- Car dealers can have autograph sessions/meet & greets
- Clothing Boutiques can hire athletes as models.
- Gyms can do spokesman deals, etc.
- Restaurants can host a "meet Zya" night.
I think everyone would be surprised with how cheap some of these deals can be. Median NIL deal on Opendorse a few months back was $38 dollars.
We're not talking about any of our athletes getting big time dollars, but more spending money and in some cases, gift cards to the business. And compared to our peers at Sam, Tarleton, TX State? That's a recruiting advantage if we have it and they don't.
I don't have the time right now but if I get some of these house projects knocked out by January, I'm gonna see about working on this problem.SFA Jack Fanatic said:
Good ideas, Texan. But ideas without actions are just... ideas.
Are you suggesting that a high school kid is going to pick SFA because they can get a $38 NIL deal?TallTexan said:You do have to think outside the box a bit for SFA, but there's definitely more opportunities than just tv money. Social media is a huge area of opportunity locally.sfajack05 said:

If a larger number of SFA athletes are getting cash from NIL deals here and there that's going to reflect more positively on SFA than a school where they're not.SFAJack_76 said:Are you suggesting that a high school kid is going to pick SFA because they can get a $38 NIL deal?TallTexan said:You do have to think outside the box a bit for SFA, but there's definitely more opportunities than just tv money.

I had a "meet Zya" at the gas pump a couple of months ago. Didn't buy her gas because that would be an NCAA violation.
