They want us to donate money?
And they want to take the money and they promise to use it.
I think all possibilities seem to be on the table, LOL.boognish_bear said:TellMeYouLoveMe said:ok, so let me get this straight.boognish_bear said:

I'm far from expert on this....but my original understanding of NIL was it would allow athletes to earn money from businesses that used them for promotion/endorsements. I didn't understand it to be asking fans to donate money to be given to the athletes.
Good characterization, Parch.parch said:
I still don't understand our NIL approach. The way all this was and is worded is that they're targeting average fans for a donation pool. I'm not saying we shouldn't do that, but that still appears to be all we're doing, or at the very least the vast majority of it. Failing that, Startup Waco and Baylor by proxy are just not doing a very good job explaining what all this is and how they're organizing efforts.

Dave Aranda had some interesting things to say about NIL. He thinks the Bears are doing fine in that area. He also said he does not like a "three-tier" NIL system where the Tier 1 players (potential first-rounders) receive much higher amounts.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Tulsa are going to be operating with a significant recruiting advantage because of the state's new law, which prohibits the NCAA from coming down on institutions involving protected NIL activities.

Baylor Football's NIL plan is to provide each player with a basic "something." Beyond that, any additional NIL income will come from whatever the players seek out individually.
Huge, university-led payments to players will not happen at Baylor like they are happening at some other P5s.
The head coach is comfortable with the plan.
Baylor has won three Big 12 championships and played for another without recruiting "top players." We've never swam in that pool.Ghostrider said:Hence, forget about top players coming to bu or the CFP.Russell Gym said:

We also have a former Baylor baseball player on staff and I am former Baylor football player myself. It does not make sense to us however it is unfortunate that we can’t support our Bears.

Baylor is extremely supportive of NIL opportunities for our student-athletes, including those co-branded with Baylor marks. At the time, what was presented by Influxer was a co-branded shirzey (t-shirt jersey) for baseball. That offering was never declined or disapproved by…
