    Have you (or anyone else) come across any sort of resources to help people navigate the process? Contact info from Leverage is one thing, but what about process steps, sample contracts, etc. I imagine most people in a position to participate have no idea what to do even if they want to.

    Something like that would be helpful for people in marketing too whose company could do some legit endorsements. 

    Paying someone for endorsement isn't new ground and commercial lawyers will either handle endorsement agreements for you or know who to send you to. All you need to do is buddy up, come up with a TOTALLY VALID BUSINESS BUILDING REASON TO HIRE SAID ENDORSER and come to terms.

    Agree with the bolded. In fact it probably should have been the last room considered, as I'd say they have the least amount of impact on this team. 

    It's about mouths to feed divided by food to put in those mouths. The Burnt Ends guys are smart and know exactly what they're doing. An OL room would be expensive to maintain; more guys in higher demand. Elite QBs and elite RBs just probably require more water than they're going to be able to draw out of message board posters. Also, there's only so much they could reasonably pursue as a TOTALLY VALID BUSINESS REASON for this particular venture.

    Trust those guys. I don't know any of them personally but I've read everything they've said about this and they're fucking smart.

    And if the water rises sufficiently, immamac and Co will use that wisely. DEs could fit in "Burnt Ends" very easily. ;) 

    WAR BURNT ENDS

    I hope those people aren’t the same ones saying we need to pay the high end recruits. Because you know, we could. ( legally of course) If every single one of us actually contributed and stopped bitching. If the BMD’s aren’t gonna do it then we need to step up somehow.

    I love Burnt Ends. But if you want to pay difference-making players, the TE room isn't necessarily where you're looking. It's fucking brilliant as a concept, because it creates this pool of cash that's agnostic of individual players/performance. "You come here you get paid, regardless."

    We need performance focus, too, so guys know they'll get paid for making it happen on the field. For instance, you could become a partial investor in a private company for the specific purpose of funding their sponsorship of a certain elite player. And your wife can wonder why the hell you're getting into that business and roll her eyes when you explain it to her. Theoretically. Hypothetically. In Minecraft.

    Look at Leverage Lineup and get together with people you know who have private interests and get it moving.

    You aren't going to see much with regards to NIL specific moves on this board. Things are moving, though, even if you don't see it here.

    We want more movement, of course, as we should.

    But immamac is right about the performance on the field and its impact on donations. We are very lucky, though, because even in our doldrums we are going to be throwing around more NIL cash than 80% of teams even when they're successful. And if we ever get to 10+ win seasons again? It's going to get wild.

    From my perspective all it proves is that our opponents are capable of taking an unverified and as of yet unfulfilled rumor and using it against us.

    This is not fun for me so I will choose to believe we are getting Ewers, who will start next year and until his RS-Junior year. Then Arch will start as a RS-Soph and RS-Junior. Both will have 1 Heisman each (minimum) and 3 national championships combined. At that point we will have raised and developed a clone of Vince Young that we grew in a Tleilaxu axolotl tank underneath Bellmont in a no chamber who, due to a combination of genetic mutation and telepathy, maintains perpetual eligibility.
