Should we have concerns about our NIL Program?

[MtnHusker]

Not privy to inside information like I was with ABM so honestly don't know. Some mention that other B1G West teams have NIL programs that have already passed us. My battles with Dollar Dean about his claim of us being Top 5 in NIL were fun cuz he was full of shit pumping his buddies at ABM. But honestly where do we rank? I think we should have a Top 20 NIL program with the financial resources we have. Is this something that Turd needs to get involved with? Do we have a bad rep with players because of the scammy shit ABM did? Matty Davison & 1890 just not good at this? Do we even trust them?

Haven't had time to ask around so what is everyone hearing?

I'm not concerned about Nebraska NIL at all.

They paid Mathis $650k last year and outbid Texas.

Bud Elliott says that Nebraska's NIL is willing and able to spend big $$$. I trust his word as he has his ear firmly pressed to the recruiting world and front offices of college football programs.

My impression with not a lot of insider info is that 1890 is getting their legs underneath them, and starting to reach the point where they're out of the administrative start-up phase & newly on to the more functional stuff.

There's a new staff (still being formed) to coordinate with, the tweets from the players they're signing starting over the last couple weeks, and I just saw an ad from them on an electronic billboard in Omaha for the first time a couple days ago.

IMO, still pretty early to give a sweeping judgment, but looks like a cleaner operation than ABM.

My question to this is, how in the world have they not just decided to pump out above and beyond what it takes for a couple years to 3-4 TOP OL?

No.

Our NIL will magically start looking better in people's eyes when the product on the field improves and we don't have to rely exclusively on NIL when recruiting.

No. Money should never be an issue. I don't think we have to worry about someone we want who likes DONU the best of all landing spots not coming because of the NIL.

Of course, if someone prefers a different school, a NIL premium is unlikely to carry the day.

I'm just worried we might be missing out on some players. Talking to a couple friends who have kids who play Power5 football they have mentioned that the players know there is a big difference between what some schools are offering and how they are run. Players discussing what their friends at other colleges are getting and even getting pier recruited by bragging about money plus other benefits so they should transfer over to their school. Many of these players know each other and word gets around quite quickly these days. Unfortunately my friends kids aren't good enough to be getting big $$$$ interest so haven't heard about anyone contacting them.

I have absolutely no idea nor do I really care. NIL should be a secondary or thirderary criteria for the types of croots we want.

I wish I had $650K extra to spend on a play that you may get 1 year out of.

I don’t know if there’s a single fan base that believes their NIL program is good compared to others. If you read through the boards of some of the programs that we are competing with for players right now, it seems everyone believes their NIL program sucks.

There is so little information out right now that it’s tough to say one way or the other.

I’ve heard much more about 1890 than I ever did ABM from a marketing standpoint, however. So we’ll see. If you sign a top 10-15 class, I think you can conclude that we are at least on par with every one of our peers.

Every player everywhere is committing because of NIL and frankly, and you'll have to pardon my language here, I think that's a bunch of mularkey

 

[doublewing]

I don't feel good or bad about it.

I think for the entire CFB landscape, NIL is still getting figured out. It's still a new phenomenon where the market dynamics are swinging wildly and there isn't necessarily a good competitive analysis to be made.

If only ALL of the Nebraska HVAC Companies would step up we'd be TOP 5

Speaking of that Decoldest visited Jackson St

If Husker fans actually gave a shit about NIL, they’d only purchase products from companies that participate.
I know I am doing my part. I prepped for the apocalypse and lined some young stud’s pockets by purchasing a pallet of Emu jerky from Pipeline Jerky.

I have no idea how accurate this article/blog is, but it was deep in the hidden threads of TPB in the last week or two. It's definitely an interesting read, but also don't know if the exact source can be trusted.

NIL Reality for Nebraska

Really sorry for a little bit of sobering reading this morning with how well the recruiting went yesterday for us. I kind of went off the poll from last week. We will get it back on track with posi…

I just venmo the recruits directly.

I heard an ad on the radio this morning with Matty D advertising 1890 and how anyone can donate and 100% of the funds go directly to players. Thought that was interesting as so far it's seemed like only sponsorships.
