Is everyone doing this now, Or just LSU? I remember going to meet the Rebs all the time and it seemed great for the team and community.

Can’t imagine charging kids $10 and their parents $30 just to see their favorite players and say hi.

Edit to add NILSU link

What is she even talking about?

I have a 4 year old and not in the loop on LSU charging him to meet the players, but an Ole Miss fan is.

NILSU just sent out an email today

NILSU Link from official email

$10 for kids, $30 for adults, $100 for VIP if you want a photo with Kiffin

Edit: and apparently kids over 5 are considered adults lol

The only things free these days - public libraries and access to Ole Miss football players.

Thanks for the heads up. Ours is going to love that.

No questions from me on how you ended up on an NILSU email list.

Disgraceful trying to take the little money some kids have to meet the players.

Blame your overzealous marketing department. I bought resale tix a couple years ago and now they won’t stop spamming me.

Back to the original question though, was this the exciting money making opportunity discussed at the governor’s mansion?

You are locked into all things LSU.

I’d encourage you to click unsubscribe at the bottom of that email.

To make sure some crazy racist OM fan doesn’t show up and try and poison Lane or something. We all know they wouldn’t be able to afford to get in

I posted a link from an email that went out today so I’m not sure why you would need to ask ChatGPT. Unless you think I built that website myself as part of an elaborate troll

Agreed. But on the bright side, at least they aren’t taking it from sick and dying kids like last time.

There you go about the sick kids again.. if you’d put your money where your mouth is and donate, the sick kids would be able to help support the LSU football team like they should be doing.

I think you are attempting to troll LSU’s NIL collective over something The Grove Collective also does.

NIL Collectives aren’t owned by the schools and only exist to provide NIL opportunities to players. They aren’t forcing you to go and LSU will still have its traditional Fan Day.

Admission will be free for the event, which is tentatively set to begin at 9:30 a.m. In addition to player autographs, fans will hear from head coach Pete Golding and other Ole Miss coaches during a Q&A program

Charging for photo ops is its own category. Not a fan personally.

But in what universe is 5 years old considered an adult?

How many LSU fans here have bought their tickets? Anyone going for the VIP experience?
