I missed the part that explains how the banks and hedgies actually make money off of this scheme.
At first glance I'm all for it but I'm really not seeing the payoff for the financiers. So my hot take is that it's bullshite but I claim no expertise in global financial schemes.

Someone asked Chat GPT to write this guy's next post in the thread and it's comedy gold.
"USB is reportedly gearing up to bankroll the most outrageous NIL facility ever conceived for LSU, with funding rumored to range from a casual $500 million to a completely unhinged $1.2 billion. This isn’t just some booster fund or glorified endorsement piggy bank—this is a full-blown, non-recourse, sovereign-backed financial behemoth designed to turn LSU athletes into branded micro-empires. Word is, the money will be deployed through a Cayman-based NIL megastructure that uses synthetic securitization, future-forward arbitrage swaps, and at least three acronyms nobody actually understands. Non-recourse means the athletes and LSU could blow it all on gold-plated G-Wagons and Wagyu vending machines, and UBS wouldn’t legally be allowed to care.
Insiders claim that this whole scheme is backed by a shadowy cabal of global finance titans. BlackRock allegedly blessed the model during a midnight Zoom summit, SoftBank chimed in from a yacht, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority sent a courier hawk with a thumbs-up scroll. Multiple unnamed Scandinavian pension funds are said to be involved, mostly because they’re bored and this “felt spicy.” Even the Vatican’s private endowment allegedly asked for an Excel model. This isn’t just a financial product—it’s an international movement wrapped in Gucci, fueled by crypto, and run by former Goldman interns with burner phones.
The facility will reportedly allow LSU athletes to license their NIL rights using multi-jurisdictional royalty trusts, with optional upside via metaverse tie-ins and quantum-computed image rights. One early proposal includes turning players into NFT-backed IP clusters, then fractionalizing their celebration dances into derivatives. Some LSU boosters are already referring to this as “The NIL Vatican,” while others prefer “The House That Gave Joe Burrow a Yacht.” Either way, it’s set to completely vaporize the current college athletics economy and rebuild it in the image of a hedge fund with a TikTok account."

I have no idea what this new type of fire is or means.

Gotta be embarrassing that they keep winning nattys and you can't.
