Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VOLSONLY]

Hope it goes well buddy.

Thanks @Ulysees E. McGill, @InVOLuntary and @drvenner. They said I’m clean as a whistle

Let's do this. Someone much smarter than me, get this thing rolling. We'll all contribute to it.

@Freak - set this up. Tennessee Volunteers 2022 Recruiting Class sponsored by VolNation! We'll just donate to through the website and the monies can be distributed evenly upon arriving on campus when they agree to become a VolNation social media ambassador. One time payment distribution requiring minimum of one social media post advertising the VolNation.com.

Fan funded NIL opportunity!

I'm being generous wit Freak's time of course, but I really think something as simple as this model would work.

So, the question, if there were monthly/annual NIL sponsorship options, how much do you honestly think could be raised? If we said even a two thousand fans were willing to donate 10/month, that's 240K per year - divide that by a 25 man signing class - that's 9,600 per recruit upon enrolling in school (or 7,500 per recruit in a 32 man class if you want to include transfers).

Absolutely. Print some t-shirts to give to the players to wear that have the Volnation.com logo. Simple.

I'm in. Some of you high rollers can donate more. Every little bit helps.

Let’s gooo!! I’m in

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We’ll be at Disney. I’ll try to watch the replay tomorrow night.

Here now. Walking magic kingdom. I’ll probably steam the game on my phone Saturday.

 

[volinexile17]

Expect that for the next 2 weekends. UF is going to be a real bad dose of reality for many. The fact that we can take 32 in this class is the best news we’ve had in years.

Now we just have to find 32 guys to get on board.

Black had to be for Ole Miss right?

Side note..... if we want to do a throwback, do the rifleman on the wide of the helmet please. With an Orange and White Tri Star logo on the other side

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Not even gonna edit it now…

 

[Dudley Smith]

Yeah, there is always that possibility. I’m not sure how you would audit something like that to make sure the money is going to the players.

It’s a good idea... but it’s much easier said then done for sure. When money is involved you usually want a full time staff, or at minimum a dedicated part time/volunteer staff, to handle issues, improvements, implementations, etc. You’d most likely also be paying a third party developer tool like Stripe to handle payments, which in turn costs money to use. Red tape around payments, compliance, banking to hold the funds, taxes, etc are all stuff to figure out as well.

Just lots of variables that goes into it that may be a lot for one person or even a small part time team to handle. If it was something that @Freak truly considered I’d definitely volunteer some time to help with any software development time needed.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Give me that orange helmet

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Looks good, but I think the tristar would look better.

Supposedly they ran their proposal through the compliance department at the university, so that’s another layer of complexity.

Yup. Would definitely have to have the approval of the compliance department.

 

[volbeast33]

Small nugs for today’s practice: Hooker is starting….. they are resting Joe…..Everyone should be back for Florida…. Not sure who is starting at running back bc he didn’t get to see much of the walk through…. Thinks we may hold guys out for rest that have been nicked up…. Hyatt, evans, and small have been practicing so that is good news…… Cooper will be 100% at Florida….. Bailey is still not taking any first team reps(at least not today)

 

[mrMet]

Prediction is Hooker comes out looking like ass

[cHiZzLeVOL]

@Freak will you be uploading the game? I’m working and can’t record in on YT TV apparently

As long as It’s a win

 

[BigSteve09]

There’s a Texas message board similar to this one where they set up a crowd-sourced-from-their-posters sponsorship of the tight ends group they call “Burnt Ends.” The guys who run the site and organized the project met with the group to drop their bags. I think the Whataburger bags were a reference to our previous regime.

Ah! Damn man, we gotta get this going.

You're right, there's a litany of legalities to navigate, however if it is something that was going to be done, this is the only place I can think of that would truly allow for a fan-funded option into the NIL world for UT athletics. I think that if it were something that were to be pursued then I'd imagine professionals in legal, taxation, and compliance would do the same as you and donate time and effort to make it work. They could get a banner on their VN account that mirror the Staff/Moderator titles to say NIL Team.

What I mentioned earlier would change the program overnight.

Everyone donates $100 once. Whether that's all 100,000 at the game, or just every fan that cares. That's up to or exceeding $10,000,000.

I can see Saban behind a podium complaining about it for days.
