This is all with the upmost respect for the NIL and the members of the TXST fan base who want to be involved with the programs and institution. These are not feelings, they are facts about the public facing availability of information and solicitation of membership for the M&G NIL collective.We're sorry you feel that way, we are working on deciding what information is shareable and what's not. In the future when we do share more detailed information it will most likely be in the private forum for the collective contributors. It is not a competition being M&G and VS, both collectives are working for the athletes and we both offer something different.
I haven't seen one collective share contract breakdowns for their signed athletes because it would be a distraction to other teammates and other sports. To much information floating around could do more harm then good. The board is constantly work on way to share the details with the collective contributors and get their feedback on what they want to see in content, what athletes and other ideas to help grow so we can continue to support our athletes.
We appreciate those who have given and supported us allowing us to sign Ben and Tory. We look forward to growing and signing more athletes. All feedback is welcome but lets keep it respectful, the board is all voluntary, none of us are being compensated that way more can be given to the athletes.

The definition of collective is “done by people acting as a group.”
All of you as decision makers have solicited inputs and funds with the phrases “by Bobcats for Bobcats” and “Texas State Fans to take part in the success of Texas State Student Athletes.” and on X “for the TXST fans by TXST fans”
Yet, there was no discussion with those who contributed money as to who the funds would go to. Ahead of that decision the governing board was determined by those with the ideas (this is fine but there are a lot of Bobcats with a lot of valuable backgrounds well beyond SMTX/many are on this board which the fund is named for). But, this strategy also limited the formulation of the NIL as it limited opinions and voices in the room. In fact there was no room (in-person or virtually) to participate and to try to build this thing in a way that all connections could benefit. TXST has a massive alumni base, all of us knowing different groups within the larger population.
Moreover, publicly available and available to the collective membership are two different things. As I understand MG NIL are not publishing or giving inside information to those who are inputting funds to ensure the success of the LLC. That alone should draw skepticism from those who have already joined and TXST followers who would like to join but expect a ROI and input to where their dollars are going. I understand not publishing on the public forum but as a benefit those whose dollars are keeping the idea afloat should receive access. That’s one of the points of NIL. Access not only to the athletes but to the decision making as how their dollar best benefits the university and its athletics departments.
