So, we have this thread on the general forum.
However, I'm creating a thread here in the football forum for a few reasons.
One, for visibility. I've been told a lot of people still go straight to the football forum and might have missed the one in general. (old Bobcat Fans habits die hard)
Two, I've been in communication with a few people today and it's come to my attention that we have an urgent need to grow our NIL commitment if we want to keep some of our best players.
Players like Finley and Mahdi can now get high 5 figure and low 6 figure NIL deals by portalling out. However, there seems to be several people around the department that think we can keep them by committing to them through NIL.
We are about ready to officially roll out the M&G Collective and will need the support of our forum members and additional fans to have success.
Our plan is to offer a subscription style contribution that will provide a monthly pool of discretionary money to sign NIL contracts with our players. Obviously there are overhead costs associated with running any company, but our goal is to funnel as much money into these contracts as possible while also being extremely transparent.
We should have everything in place later today, but if we can show these players that we are committed to keeping them at TXST, I think we can retain them.
I know we raised over $10K through the forum for the end zone complex earlier this year, can we do it again to keep this success going?
