Creative ways to raise NIL funds

[volfan411]

How about letting the players marketability pay the NIL and not dump it on the backs of fans.

Agree, players are way overpaid and the fans shouldn't have to pay them anything. I already pay a lot to go to the game every year.

This should take care of itself. Players are being paid for use of their name and likeness by companies and organizations who want them to advertise for them. Why should the fans contribute to that when we are already buying tickets and merchandise that should benefit the players. I have never and never will donate to a fund to pay the players.

Need to think nationally...if Mike Keith turns out to be the play by play guy that everyone thinks and on par with John Ward, then I would pay to watch a game stream synced up to his play by play call.

Obviously there are probably implications with existing TV contracts, but would be a good revenue maker.

FWIW - I'm not a fan of letting people pay to run through the T on game day...that is an honor, right, and privilege that can only be earned.

Eh, a lot of people who haven’t “earned” that have run through it. Butch Jones had a 5’5” son who played on the team as a backup holder and ran through it a lot. I don’t think he earned it.

Why aren't cooperate dollars funding this entirely? They're making the poor people pay for it all

Jeremy Pruitt also ran through it a lot.He had the intelligence of a cantaloupe.I don’t think he earned it either.

Now that Neyland is going cashless what a great time to include a NIL roundup purchase program.

Agreed the corporations are the ones who are benefiting from it the most.

Why not have offering plates passed around during game or just ask if you wanna donate to nIL fund when you buy something at the stadium during a game ..Have NIL booths at the game on every end of stadium and offer tiers ..
