Minny NIL kept Snuggerud, our's isn't quite up to speed yet

This seems the appropriate thread, after the federal injunction yesterday its practically college program malpractice toward its athletes to not embrace every NIL collective conceivable. Embrace it or become a farm team in short order. This is largely a football issue, luckily our fanbase rules hockey so this should actually helps us

It’s definitely not NIL, there is a cap, and for hockey fans the team will see only a fraction of the $. It won’t compete with Michigan’s NIL for the top players but it’s a very good thing and it helps, well done UND. I’ll set up a revolving donation. The article put the worst possible slant on charitable collectives, but the big ones like Ohio State’s are run very well and will comply with IRS rules. I donate and never planned to deduct. The Texas collective already has a disclaimer about deductibility Since there’s little interest in a UND collective our players will need to do it on their own. Players with a lot of social media followers should monetize it. There’s a lot of businesses that would pay UND hockey players monthly, including car leases, for various forms of advertising—social media, billboards, …

I ran this through the pretentious gobeltygook filter. Do I need to explain the blindingly flawed logic here.

I’ve never seen a buyout that wasn’t backed by booster money.

Oh it can be fixed, and in a big way. The same Big advantages working against us now can be emulated logarithmically at UND, and make us a monster program. We, as in the fans, boosters, and administration, have to demand excellence.

This isn’t directed at you but this shows how far behind many are in understanding nil. From a non profit standpoint, caveman days billboards cost me $900/mo. What is a local star player’s 10-50k engaged social media followers worth? Answer, whatever the market bears. If someone Is paying a kid 1M to sell air then they will answer to the IRS at deduction time. So I have zero concerns about “laundering”. Regarding charitable collectives, they are run by BODs well known to the community and are open to IRS audits and have IRS rules, such as the pay must be in line with services. That’s regulation by current laws if a UND charitable collective asks a highly visible, marketable enrolled athlete to raise awareness for Anne Carlsen, Development Homes, or Community Foundation via events, appearances, fundraisers, social media etc, is that worth $10-50k? Yep. Can they openly say they will only work with UND athletes? Yes they can. Can the school help athletes be aware of nil opportunities? Again, yes, and they should. Not complicated, It’s just business. If I had a semi-local business I’d advertise via my favorite player’s instagram, but instead I’d gladly contribute $400/month to a charitable collective. A kid could afford to be in college and I’d be doing good work. Most collectives allow you to ACH as low as $20/month tax deductible. Now multiply that by thousands, focus it toward hockey, and we are in business

LOL, the NCAA will save us, you are two years behind. For the millionth time, the NCAA is powerless, the Supreme Court > NCAA. Without facing facts and UND getting on board we are the Big 10’s farm team.

This locomotive has been easy to see coming for 3 years and now we seem surprised it ran us over . I don’t think we care enough to use the resources of the biggest and most rabid fan base in the country so welcome to wine and cheese hockey

Part of being the man for the job is being the man to take a hard look at his staff. On the surface it looks as though we have person or persons performing roles they were never, and aren’t, qualified for. We might also have some qualified people who’ve become comfortable. All pro programs (that’s what this is) are either taking a constant hard look or they are getting worse. There’s lots of mid level programs with country club coaching and structure, and wine and cheese fanbases. But there’s almost zero winning programs where most involved are comfortable and safe, and the fan base is highly tolerant. I think coach can win if he really wants to, systems and technology probably haven’t passed him by, so it’s a matter of priorities and resources. He needs more resources but what’s the point if he isn’t maximizing the ones he has.

This

Every word if this is true. The HC’s prime directive is recruiting, in addition, every resource available to the program should be at the coach’s disposal for that purpose. Every assistant coach should be hired for his ability to recruit. And yes, culture is also an important recruiting tool if used properly.

SOG UND vs Omaha?
