Re: NIL: An Example
The rotating ads on the front of the scorers table ran an ad for businesses to contact the wildcat exchange to connect with Davidson athletes.
I didn't get the phone number, but I want to contact them. I am thinking of offering money so I can video tape Davidson wrestlers stacking hay in my barn. At first I thought football players, but the ceiling in the hay loft is really low, so I figure the wrestlers wouldn't have to bend over as much.
Is this the kind of NIL work they were thinking of?

Thanks for the readable link. I’m a capitalist, but NIL, as currently constructed, is an abomination. Nothing good will come of it. If they truly want it to benefit the student-athlete, stipulate that the majority of the funds be allocated to a special purpose tax deferred account invested in an S&P 500 index fund only accessible starting at age fifty-five. That would be far better than what’s actually happening with the funds now, which will be long gone before most of the players reach their mid-twenties.

Delayed gratification is not a forte for people 18-24 years old. Seems paternalistic and a tad patronizing unless you advocate a universal forced investment scheme. Vanguard, Fidelity, TIAA-CREF, et al., would love it!ScootCat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 6:27 pmThanks for the readable link. I’m a capitalist, but NIL, as currently constructed, is an abomination.

Delayed gratification allowed me to retire in my early 50's. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Cheers!

Thanks, waitress. Didn't realize there was a paywall when I first posted the link.

If you are accessing DavidsonCats.com through Google Chrome browser, just clicking on a hyperlink in a dcats.com post will usually not penetrate a paywall. However, you can get around a lot of paywalls if you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser. Copy the hyperlink from the post, open the Mozilla Firefox home page (I use Google Search as my home page for both Chrome and Firefox), click on the 3 horizontal bars on the top right, choose "New private window," then paste the URL for the paywalled site into the address bar of whatever search engine you are using. Waitress posted this several weeks ago, and it has worked for me at least half the time.
"We were in the center ring the whole night,'' longtime Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. ''We were not on the ropes. We were not on the mat. We were in the center ring slugging away, and we just ran out of time.''
Re: NIL: An Example
Easy to understand why so many old-school coaches are leaving the college ranks. The old system was broken; the new one is broken-er. Giving periodic reports on a players value in order to keep them on your team, sounds like a miserable experience to me. It feels a lot like an annual merit pay conference; I hated those, no matter which side of the table I was on. I guess collective team bonuses or shared revenue would cause even more chaos?

NCAA rules prohibit boosters from using the promise of NIL deals as an incentive to try to convince a prospect to attend or transfer to a particular school.wildforthecats wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 10:37 amhttps://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... violations
