Football NIL Event This Sunday

[mxpxfr690]

This is where I'm at. I don't have the disposable income to pay kids that aren't mine to stick around and play football for the university I graduated from. I was really considering donating to the collective, but then I caught my head and realized I should put it towards my own kids' 529s.

I appreciate John's work with the collective, but I wish he and the RCAF executive director would switch places. The collective is a rich man's game. John's "it takes an army" approach would really serve RCAF's mission better.

Exactly how I feel!

Event went well last night, we have created a foundation to work from during this portal season. The game is changing. Players are being recruited while in our programs. I have had conversations with players and families. There are agents behind the scenes working. We have great young men and great leadership. The collective is a great way to enhance the experience. We are in the infancy stages. But we are so much further ahead today than we were two months ago!!

Have you and the players reported the folks recruiting players while they are still in the Cajuns program?

[kreweallons]

There's really not much to report. It all goes through 3rd parties. NIL agents are a thing. I don't necessarily mean direct communication with players. There are film systems that create watch lists of players. Sorted by ranking, stats, classification, as soon as one of these guys enters portal there are alerts created. You can sort by home state, what schools recruited them out of high school, etc. You can recruit from a laptop. It's the new day unfortunately.

John no offense but I agree with Redtails. The RCAF could use a go getter like yourself. I appreciate your effort, but it is a long road to go down trying yearly to out pay folks for athletes when chances are they are going to leave anyway. The P5's will continue to cherry pick UL and other smaller schools.

How many tables did you sell for Sunday John?

[kreweallons]

We sold 10 tables of the 20 available, we also got a good sized contribution besides the tables. In 2 months, between basketball and football giving we have raised more than $150k signing 30+ student athletes that will be "brand ambassadors" with us. Just getting started.
