Yeah you wouldn't pay up front for more years. If it's me and I'm promoting ABM I'm saying I raised 5 mil based on what the contracts full amounts are. I'm not basing it on how much cash has been collected.I'm just saying as a Business Owner I am not writing a check for advertising/promotion that is going to be done in 30 months. I'd want quicker ROI. I believe they have collected $5 million already. And if they do have $3 mill sitting in their Bank Account are they making money off of the interest? Admittedly I don't know how NIL works but honestly after hearing how poorly some of the boosters felt ABM was run I considered trying to get into it. I've dealt with the music, movie & sports world for so many years so promoting and dealing with it would not have been that big of a learning curve. Paying a performer $5,000 to perform as an MC at a party or on an ad was pretty easy to set up. Just need a good lawyer and well thought out business plan. Nebraska Fans love to support our Huskers.
I am also guessing but I'd assume most of the contracts are more than one year. Wouldn't be the least bit shocked their cut is 20%. That would take care of 1 mil.
As you said doesn't sound like they've been on the up and up through this so a ponzi scheme wouldn't be super shocking either. Expecting more money to come in to pay what's owed on prior contracts.
