First ever TPB NIL package for Danny Kaelin

[BorWhiskey]

Any ideas on if these can be written off as a business expense as you are paying them to advertise your site? I would think clearly yes but no clue if there are weird rules here.

Look no further than who is running our NIL program. Tweedle Dee & Tweetle Dumber. ABM Lite isn't instilling much confidence. I seriously thought about trying to start a NIL COllective for the Huskers after the shenanigans I have heard about ABM/1890. If I wanted to move back to Nebraska I would. There is no reason we don't have easy ways for fans to one time or on a subscription basis be able to contribute to the program. Our fanbase is so dang loyal yet they don't make it easy for them to throw a couple Pesos around. I'd donate at least $25/month to NIL if I knew it was being handled properly. You get 100 fans who would donate $25/month and you could basically cover 2 SR's scholarship costs for the first semester of next season. Thus opening up more scholarships for transfers. Or to set up a base fund that is divided equally between all players, so lets say we get $1,020,000 in total donations we could pay each player $1,000/month so $12,000/yr. It might not be millions but would be a great baseline payment compared to some schools. How tough could it be to sell autographed jersey's, pictures, Bobble Heads, t-shirts..... to support the players?

Great post! And very clear we have no visionaries running 1890.

It's absolutely insane to me that we don't have an 1890 catalog online with a bunch of useless N branded retail shit marked up 200% to generate big net profits for the NIL coffers.

This is the one fanbase where you had to have that set up from day one. And here we are a couple years later, still nothing like this set up for NU fans to purchase + donate.

So you’re saying we should set up an LLC for TPB?

Or increase subscription fees that would support @MtnHusker idea of supporting a scholarship or two.

I did a pretty detailed analysis last year on how much money we would have to raise to cover the costs of all scholarship players’ parents to attend every football game we play using our real schedule and average price for hotel/flights to/from different major cities. Actually shared it with some people at NU compliance as well and they liked the idea. To me it was a no brainer- the #1 thing everyone uses against us in recruiting is our location and not being able to drive to games. That con goes away if theyre getting free trips to every home and away game.

Maybe we can chat if you guys are serious about being involved in this NIL fundraising stuff @HuskerGarrett @Jim14510

Can we include in the NIL contract that he has to mention tPB in every interview with someone from Tater Island

 

[MtnHusker]

Or we could do something more philanthropic for the community. Help out a struggling business in Nebraska or a players family. Some business hurt by Covid or illness/death in the family. Heck we could help Coleman with his NIL for Foster Care Children. Every year we could vote on a cause/business to put our NIL towards. Then tie in the players we want and use them to get the exposure for the business or cause. The World is our Oyster and we could do something fun and creative while also being a positive asset to the community. I bet if we thought outside the box local media icons like Arnie Foote would give tPB some great publicity

I'm not too sure about how to go about this but going to start putting something together. Any interest or ideas from tpb members appreciated.

Dean does a recruit profile. Where he uploads a youtube video... Should get him some merch to wear during it.

you don't need a LLC to deduct the expense if they are businesses expenses. It may be a good idea if, for example, you are worried about getting sued.

 

[SoCal_Corn]

What do we want him to do? Wear a hat in some interviews and stuff? Sign some merch? Kick Dean in the nuts?

I think this is his Opendorse page -

The NIL Deals Platform for Athletes, Fans, & Brands - Opendorse

The best NIL deal marketplace for athletes to build and monetize their name, image, and likeness value. Support your favorite collegiate athlete.

opendorse.com

This would be the easiest.

I'll donate some. Do you accept food stamps?
