NIL Thread

[GMUgemini]

Do you have the ones getting paid?

I can’t say much without breaking privacy but yes, sometimes. And I don’t see much difference in effort between a women’s soccer player, an hockey player, a wrestler, and a football player usually.

And granted it’s not like I’m a magnet for student-athletes or anything. I teach a required class and they wind up in there sometimes.

[Stoolguy]

Skinn, booker, and Kanga were at GMUs NIL expo last night. Good sight to see in hopes they all return.

The event was for all GMU athletes to connect to businesses in our area for potential NIL deals.

This looks like authentic NIL. Good on Mason. But guess what, it doesn't work as well as pay to play. lol

Good on Tony (and Marvin) for trying to raise $ any way they can through the business community. We all know Mason will do the right thing and start funding rev share at a competitive level only after exhausting all other options.

A new turn of events:

Trump signs new executive order on college sports: Will it change anything, and how soon?

The order poses the possibility of federal funding being withheld from schools that do not comply with the rules.

A10 talk piece by Ryan McCafferty on current state of basketball:

A Eulogy to College Basketball As We Knew It

For all of about a week, it was sure nice to think that maybe, just maybe, this would finally be the year George Mason wouldn’t get raided by the transfer portal. First it was leading scorer Kory Mincy. Okay, fine, that was expected. Then it was big man Riley Allenspach. Someone you could...

I dont know if this idea is legal or not

Meet and greet with a player
Dinner at a local restauarant

The NFL that I knew as a kid is gone. "Money and twenty plus years of Dan Snyder, just about killed it. College Basketball that I knew as a kid is gone "Money and " The N.I.L" killed it Pro Hoops that I knew as a kid have "long been gone", forty years of professional incompetence in Washington killed it. (What's a "Wizard"? .Hockey is a "foreign sport" Meh'. Baseball is in a state flux now. I wonder if the the Lerner kids will spend money like Daddy did? Probably not.......I'm too old for this. .
