Ever heard of Google? Its not hard. On3 has an NIL collective database as well where all this information is there for you to easily find.
Yes, and like we’ve been saying all along, the On3 database confirms that we haven’t released info on the total amount raised:

Wait what? It was "stunning" for an AD to move from Miss St to Auburn? Really?
Yes, hopefully they have as wonderful an experience as aTm has had with Ross Bjork.

WALKER JONES: I think we'll probably stay away from total dollar figures for now. Just because that could be used against us in recruiting. One of the hard things about NIL is that you don't really know. There's so much urban legend and misinformation out there. One school says, 'Oh, they raised $15 million or $20 million.' Well, we don't know if that's true or not. We don't want to list specific dollar amounts because schools may try to use that. 'Well, Ole Miss only raised $5 million. We raised $2o million, so why would you want to go there.' We don't ever want to have that used against us in any form or fashion, so we'll probably keep those numbers confidential in terms of dollar figures. What we will release is total members, brands, programming, resources, tools. All those pother things we will release, so people can see all the good work that we're doing.
Look don't shoot the messenger...
What I posted was from the Clarion Ledger which I presume has sources... maybe they're wrong and OM has $20mm who knows. OM doesn't want to make an official statement because they know the number is low and the Executive Director of the collective said as much.
He's using $15-$20mm as pie in the sky numbers. AU raised over $10mm in a month. It's pretty simple math man.

Good Riddance to Cohen. I appreciate him reviving our baseball program but he sucked as AD.

Wait?! You mean to tell me journalists might publish inaccurate info for clicks?!
No way!!
You claimed Auburn raised $13MM this week. You clearly know what you’re talking about

Seems like the NIL collective didn't like him.
State fans and boosters never forgave him for ruining our womens basketball program. I know it’s just womens Bball but fans were packing the Hump for those games and were proud of those teams and Cohen ran the coach off

What's more likely is he saw the Leach tenure not going as well as he had hoped, and he wisely realized Keenum wasn't going to let him make a 3rd football hire in 2024.
Leach is doing ok. We had a brutal schedule this year unfortunately

Correlation doesn't equal causation, but heard some State folks were ready for a change.

Seems like a pretty prudent position, really. These things aren't charitable organizations and they're not subject to FOIA laws. Ole Miss isn't going to have the most money, and we're not going to have the least. We're going to be competitive. I don't know why anyone would volunteer that kind of information.
Auburn's going to need that $10M to help offset $50+ million in buyouts, plus having to pay a new staff. At some point, these gigantic buyouts aren't sustainable, even for Auburn. This hire has to work; otherwise, Auburn may find itself financially where A&M and Iowa are--stuck with staffs they don't like, but financially unable to cut the rope.

Cohen was lazy as hell. Since he left on Monday the Bulldog Initiative membership has at least tripled. I don't even think a lot of people knew it existed (including me). Now they have Dak promoting it on the main MSU athletic twitter account.

Auburn will be fine. We raised more funds for NIL in a month than state will see over a 3-4 year period, all without an AD

I am sure you will continue to do great things with your money.

If by “you” you mean him specifically, I doubt he’s contributed a dime

Why is OM so worried about you guys after lane “said no”?

I just meant Auburn in general. Noticing they are using the we will buy our way out of this mess Texas A&M logic lately.

You always play KY, and shite the bed against them this year. KY has since fallen off a cliff.
The abnormally tough part of your schedule is playing UGA, and that hasn't even occurred yet.
The SEC West being brutal isn't abnormal.

He was a shitty AD. He let Mullen go without a fight, essentially ran Vic off and didn’t put up a fight. His first hires for baseball, football and women’s basketball have all been fired and he essentially ignored mens basketball for his entire duration as AD until this past spring. Cohen was also not innovative at all, a complete horses arse and couldn’t be told anything. Good riddance and I’m so glad he is Auburns problem now. I don’t foresee him lasting very long there. Given how fricked up Auburn is.

To be fair, he did pretty good for State. Didn’t he get you the 1 and only natty?
