Please consider sponsoring. We need more people to get involved if this is going to be sustainable. We've worked very hard behind the scenes to show Ennis and others that loyalty can be rewarded.
100% of the money goes to important contributors on our defense - and this DB group could be really special next year. We also hope to add a couple DL and OL.
You can sponsor for as little as $100 and if just 20% of PM members contributed we'd be able to really make a difference. 💯
Collectively we can make a big impact ⏬️

I put this in a different thread because I don't want to take ANYTHING away from what Jesse and his group are doing. I have consistently seen them trying to make this NIL work and work through the regular fans... I have no idea what LBowers group is doing. I hear nothing and see nothing so have to assume there is nothing... (would have tagged him, but don't know his handle). Please, if you have the ability, support Jesse and the NIL, do so. If Bowers has contacted you... do it.
Now... I hate this. I hate NIL's having to beg for money so we can keep players. I hate fans being begged (some being made to feel guilty) for money over an above the tickets and TSF. I hate that it's over and over and over again in a never ending cycle. I hate that we can't build a war chest and live off the interest. I hate that this is all outside the University and the coaches control. I hate it all.
Why, 11 days from Christmas, are we getting a somewhat urgent message like this? Are they trying to take advantage of end of year giving? Or is there a real urgency? Either way, it should not be this way. I hate it.
I have no solutions. I have no idea how this will end up. I can't imagine the coaches like this at all either... can you imagine recruiting a kid and losing him because you can't get him enough money? It's stupid and I hate it.
Now, click the link above, Give Jesse whatever you have in your checking account, and be ready to be asked again in the Spring. I am going to go outside and yell at the clouds.
