Why there was no planned NIL help in place, as far as we know and see so far, can be a blunder.
Not sure what you are referring to here? Auburn has a section on their website directly related to their NIL program called Spirit. It has links and information as well as FAQs for those who need advice. It's not different than what Alabama has now too.
So not sure what you expect Auburn to do at this point. A lot of it has to come from the businesses, boosters, etc who can provide them with avenues for NIL for profiting.

Maybe you should post less. I hate Randy Savage's takes but he's timely and makes countervailing points that I disagree. frick you Randy Savage.

Facts be damned. Disregard the fact that Auburn was one of the first to have an NIL program in place and had a player sign an NIL deal the minute they were able to.

Maybe don't read them... Like I've posted before why go on attack because of the poster. And if Greene is your brother or something then get your feels out of it and frick off.
In your opinion who is responsible for the NIL administration from the university side? Head Coach? AD? President?
My opinion is it's the AD's responsibility or at least someone in the department. Should not fall into the hands of individual coaches since it doesn't involve them at all. As far as having pre-packaged offers to recruits I don't think that is available/permissible at this time.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the NCAA said you could not offer an NIL deal as a recruiting incentive, but I'm sure they can say "hey, look at what deal these guys have signed."

AA7 yes that was what I was saying. Recruiting with a "package" isn't permissible at this time.

OK... jus figured 3stars didn't get NIL's

I’m not talking about the written word deals bro. I’m talking about contacting our top boosters and they have some packages in place for the boys on roster and for those we want to sign.
You want to know how we lose head to head matchups moving forward. NIL opportunities.
Granted that’s me not knowing a damn thing about how it works but even Miami has a booster signing every player to a 500.00 per month NIL. That’s what I mean.

Exactly and again Mami recruits already know 500.00 per month is a shoe in. You get 5-10 of those 500.00 per month and our players are living pretty good, not to mention the bigger ones for star athletes.
Recruit: What about NIL stuff?
Oregon: well we are not allowed by NCAA to find you NIL deals but you have heard of Nike and the founder Phil is one of our biggest boosters right?

You’re missing what I am talking about AA7. Hopefully you read some more since my first one. Also read the part where I say “if that were true we didn’t have something in place”
People conveniently miss the entire message and strike out over the hot points.

It is true that Miami and others are already using the NIL to an advantage they wouldn’t normally have. I read that Miami has a 5* DT CBed to them and I have to think NIL publicity is helping. I don’t think we have done as much as Miami nor have received as much publicity as them. Given that we need extra sauce to convince players to commit to a brand new staff I think upping the ante with this NIL stuff would be good idea

It just seems like you have the mindset that we have this sweeping NIL deal like Miami had, or we didn't do anything at all
I'll give you that we were not smart enough to have the deal that Miami had, but after reading up on it I'm not even sure Miami was smart enough to create the deal. I'm pretty sure they just happen to have a booster who helped with the NIL rules of the state that had a really great idea. We are 12 days into NIL and the Miami deal was announced like 5 days ago. I hope we see something like that in the near future, but that doesn't mean that there was no NIL plan in place

Not at all. I I saw the guys signing onto things I am not blind. I want to amp that shite up. Lol
Yeah, I am sure the booster at Miami is in tune a little more. I believe I read he is on the board for Bringing the U back to greatness or something. He knows 500.00 a month is going to set a good foot forward for sure. I shouldn’t have put it on AU athletics as much as the meddlesome boosters now have an avenue to help and I expected maybe a little more coming out of the box is all. Maybe they are trying to figure out what will be allowed without any investigations?

My guess is this, especially since the Miami booster has already said he is working with a lawyer to make sure they’re not crossing any lines. Here is a quote from the lawyer in SI:
"There's no prohibition on an entity who may have a booster as a member," Heitner said. "The only restriction is if the entity itself supports the institution or the athletic department."

Whatever happens I don’t think we will “buy” our way to the top. Lots of deeper pockets at other institutions. We can surely staying in the top 15ish but can’t compete with huge alumni bases.
