Enough bitching, enough sitting on the sidelines, CDC isn't doing fucking dick but we can! Introducing Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program. This is how we make a difference, if we can get enough interest and hit the numbers that we forecasted, that is a huge step towards getting at least one position group taken care of (possibly two pending interest and people actually putting their money where their mouths are) with the hopes that others will follow with other less appreciated position groups. Bijan, Card, even guys like Jamison and Overshown won't have issues getting paid when the NIL is fully rolled out (hopefully fucking soon, looking at you @closetojumping)or when CDC gets his head pulled out of his ass (Doubtful, fucking moron).

Next Steps, I gauge interest through this article and see what the financials actually look like (You won't be charged dick till this shit actually gets rolled out), we get a liaison in the TE room to help facilitate scheduling, we get this bitch through compliance (Don't think this should be an issue but....), then we start to roll it out to the TEs! All the profit is going directly to the TEs, and the website will be handling the money (No Ketch bullshit). We will mail everyone's Cups and stickers and shit once things have been rolling. We will need some help designing a logo (paging @TreatyOak). This is a great opportunity for us to have some fun with the NIL, get some kids some cash legally and above board, help improve TE recruiting and keep talented TEs on the team and out of the portal. If you have any suggestions, questions or grievances shoot me and @immamac a DM. This is how we help!

Good to hear. Met up with a couple of players at a bar and the NIL failures are bigger than I imagined, so the quicker we can fix it whether it be through the AD or around them, the better.

I would just add the comment that NIL will fundamentally realign the powers in college football within the next three recruiting classes. This is much bigger than many people realize.

Agreed. Hence our actions now, and if a couple idiots from the internet can make a difference imagine what actual people with big time cash can do.

Any school that doesn’t figure out how to ensure it’s players are receiving a lot of NIL dollars.

Just because a school generates a lot of revenue for itself does not necessarily mean it will for its players. Schools that are “less rich” could do a much better job of filling the NIL funnel for its players. The two processes (school revenue vs player revenue) are very different.

Makes sense was just wondering if you knew of some that were definitely getting left behind.

kind of ironic really. UT will focus so hard on making sure the university and athletic program continue to make money that they lose sight of players getting paid. As a result, recruiting suffers followed by success on the field and eventually contributions to university and AD.  Programs that gets their players paid, get better players, and in the long run, have more people contribute to the university/AD.

Not from IT but basically in the view of the players I met they felt the administration had largely mismanaged the NIL process in terms of giving them real support. They felt they got given some powerpoint slides with rules, a couple do's and don't, and were told "you're free to go, now". They felt like UT should be doing a lot more to help them succeed with their branding and I tend to agree with them (personally I think it would be better if we paid lip service to the dog and pony show that is the NIL rules & regs and just dropped bags, but I have zero power and admittedly zero intent to do anything other than what my Burnt Ends Surly Overlords tell me to do). Thankfully it did seem like they felt/knew alumni aid would be coming soon no matter what so I doubt UT stays behind forever, but it does mean we all need to do the work since I doubt the university will do it for us.

@RGBIII aren't yall also working on a resource center or marketplace or something? How's that coming? I'm probably alone here but I'm weirdly even more excited about that as a potential Surly impact on NIL (potential multiplier effect if it spreads through the broader UT/Austin community)

I mean this answer seems obvious which is why you’re seeing lot of Texas fan/website engagement and ultimately why we’re moving to the SEC.

Anyone else get this email saying the following? It’s from the CDC weekly LHF email   .

 

"We’re also very close to signing a brand licensing deal that will be a tremendous benefit and a game-changer for our student-athletes in the NIL space, so stay tuned for more details on that, as well."

Well the statute doesn't say an institution can't grant permission/license marks for use in NIL.

So, I'm guessing some people figured out that we might get murdered here and went back to System IP counsel and Pirkey Barber and said how can we grant permission to use our marks without destroying them.
