re: Arkansas billionaires have created an NIL fund

By handling it this way, there is a PR aspect publicly and makes the "buying of college athletes" much more palatable. Plus the tax savings to boot.

Yep. This makes it out to be far more of a Make a Wish type organization (even if it's just disguised as paying players), but at least billionaire donors like, potentially the Waltons, Tyson, or Jerry Jones, can write off the investment and at least know that some good is going to come of it.

By such a prominent family getting involved as well, that means connections to other filthy rich folks and the program can sell networking for the athletes, as well as the money.

How many 18-22 yr olds year olds can get face to face meetings with the Hunt family? Welp, one just did. His name is JD Notae.

This is potentially game changing for Arkansas because no other states, except Texas can offer the same kind of access to such prominent fortune 500 CEOs and owners. This is basically the equivalent of what Oregon has been selling their kids as it pertains to Nike.

I guarantee you they make every big time athlete believe they will have a job with Nike if they don't go pro in their respective sport.

Now, Arkansas can sell the same thing, especially if the one of the other prominent Arkansas families gets involved.
