John needs to hit up our many personal injury attorneys that graduated from UL. Digger Earles and Brian Caubarreaux are two for sure. He probably already asked them however.

There's a current scum trial lawyer who does NIL with some of our players, yet has also enticed the ones he likes to jump ____ and cross the Basin.

I personally will never donate to a collective. I agree with NIL and players being able to use their name, image and likeness but not what it has become. These kids should be able to get sponsorships, do ads for companies and use their name for a clothing line or YouTube page/podcast, etc but not basically handed money through contracts.

My days of investing in college athletics are close to being completely over. Unless major changes happen, it’s just not worth it for me. I’ll watch the Cajuns but I’m past the time of caring like I have in the past.

This is about where I am. In a way this whole thing woke me up into prioritizing things better. I’m going to finance my kids.

The one with the big LSU flag flying in front of his place on I-10 in Baton Rouge?

Frankly the way athletes are being paid by hitting up donors is warped, but its free market economy at work. The marketplace should cure it eventually or maybe the system will crash first. Probably the cure now is the football student athletes becoming employees of the university. Of course then unions and collective bargaining enter the picture. Yuck. The devil is in the details. IDK if football somehow operates outside the NCAA governance, that might be part of the solution. Conferences continue with only Olympic sports. Football is part of something else, a two tiered national type of association. Hate to say like the NFL, but yeah. Blah. University presidents and major media company money have corrupted college football. And the way it looks today, they are not done corrupting it.

If football is going to operate outside of the NCAA, then just go ahead and sever it completely from the universities as well, or at least those football teams that choose to. Just become a minor league, wipe the university's name off the uniform, and no more scholarships to said university. Just go ahead and get yourself paid like the professional you want to be.

No more LSU Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes or Florida Gators. You're now the Baton Rouge Bengals, Ohio State Teletubbies and Gainesville Crocks.

Sorry, I'm just at the point right now where I'm disgusted with the whole damn thing. Especially when the no-sit portal is part of the equation.

Honestly debating whether to be part of the RCAF any more, or just split my pennies into giving directly to baseball, softball and track & field.

Do you think if they increased the scrutiny of transferring academic credits, at least to the extent it is for regular students, it would lead to more having to sit out and the rest not transferring

All I know is, “we all we got.” No one is coming to save our program. The admin is not here to protect it. Athletic admin is here to advance themselves, not our community. We’ll have to do it ourselves.

Aiken is more closely aligned to everyday fan. NIL, like it or not, will determine our product on the field.

The RCAF is a disaster and I stopped giving to the general fund (from my personal accounts) a couple years ago. I now only give to specific initiatives. I will be allocating money that used to go to GF now to NIL. I would rather pay a few grand to guys like Aiken that have the hustle and understand their purpose than a bunch of stubborn know-it-alls hell bent on wasting my money paying mediocre professionals like Marlin to drive our programs into irrelevance.

Man,
I was told that RCAF answers to the same bureaucrat that the Alumni Assn answers to. If thats true, it explains alot.

Im sure they would have somebody besides the marketing expert fan of 71 come up with better branding than that

[Scott Malkinson]

Investing in the current ncaa model is a losing preposition. I don’t fault anyone for doing whatever they want with their money, but I don’t feel for myself, that it is worth it.

If players want to do local pizza commercials I'm about it. Would probably visit those places more often. However I'm supporting 2 kids already I ain't paying for someone else's.

Exactly.

It has been an over correction to the previous rules. If a kid starts a clothing company, he/she should be allowed to profit but not hand outs.
