Creative ways to raise NIL funds

[UTFranklinVol]

I started an organized crime ring that steals pension money from the elderly, takes copper pipe out of homes and snatches little kids lunch money.

it's ok though 100% of the proceeds to the Tennessee's NIL fund. I even write the donations off on my taxes!

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

This.

Otherwise, stop calling it NIL and just call it what it is - PAY FOR PLAY!

I’d support adding a personalized QR code on the back of each player’s helmet that links directly to their Venmo.

Why would we fatten all the middlemen?

Sell tickets to the media for practices at $25,000 per pop. That way they the media can stop complaining about not being able to watch practices.

Imagine if everyone in Neyland just chipped in a dollar.
Winner takes home 50 GRAND and football rakes in an extra 300K a season for NIL.

If it averages to 10 a person, because face it some of us like to play games of chance, winner takes home a HALF Mill each game and NIL gets an extra 3 Mill a year.

That’s my thinking. UT should set up donation booths around the stadium and parts of campus. People give when they are happy with as many folks around Neyland on gameday and how they are feeling after a game there is no telling what they could make. Do it at all events. GBO

Money for Tennessee license plates for non-Tennessee colleges could go to UT athletes. Looks like the state offers a lot—Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc.

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.

If they did charge to run through the T it needs to be confidential and the fan base doesn't need to know

They could do a VOL fan of the Week, the fan who donates a bunch of money for that week could run through the T
