I was in Knoxville TN for an event Wednesday and Thursday. I met a guy who works for the UT NIL collective. It was absolutely fascinating listening to him describe how all this stuff works. He is tied in with all the coaching staffs and recruitments.

I asked him what they typically raise in NIL and he said that they “need to raise 25 million this year.” The way they are setting things up is that fully expect a collective bargaining agreement to be reached where the schools are all paying players directly. The NIL money will essentially then be a slush fund for elite level recruits.

I asked him about if the NIL stuff cannibalizes the donations to the athletic department, and he said yeah it’s basically just robbing Peter to pay Paul, wherein Paul represents the players. It’s the Wild West and everyone is just flying by the seats of their pants to raise enough money to get top players.

But anyways I couldn’t find another thread for this so I put it here because it’s clear there are people that are really connected to the athletic programs and know what’s happening in these recruitments especially now with all the money flowing through NIL.

XQ2 should sponsor a player and have him mention whenever interviewed

Our budget would probably only be able to accommodate a walk on. But hey if it gets us MiniDitka and Royko back, it’s worth it.
