re: Aggy Board OT Discussion Thread

@ Farmer do you just post all those threads on the rant to piss everyone off? lol

Mostly.

I was contracted to review the MoU years ago. You would be 100% wrong.

So TA is crowd sourcing NIL money now. They are doing subscriptions that will fund NIL deals for players to do the weekly interviews etc. But in order to contribute you have to subscribe to TA. Pretty genius if you ask me.

I could see folks that want to help with NIL but were not previous subscribers sign up just for the help it would be with athletics. But you are right that it is most likely for those who already subscribe.

This. There are a LOT of folks out there that don't feel good about paying a message board money (esp folks that hate Liucci or Texags in general) but the ability to funnel money to support athletes is a significant gamechanger. I could see a lot of folks taking out the $5/mo subscription for instance and then giving $100/mo for Stacked.

How many folks at Kyle donate $5k or more for season tickets (esp counting their block of 2 or 4 or whatever)? A LOT of those folks won't bat an eye at dropping an extra grand to go to NIL.

I would be surprised if this doesn't get into 7 figures within a few days and could end up being several million a year.

The fact it is connected to TA btw has additional advantages recruiting wise. How many of these recruits will come in for visits and get taken over to the TA studios with an Aggie player who gives an interview and can talk about how he is getting paid? It's a slick setup and with just a little planning it can give A&M a really nice selling point. The fact Texags is right across the street from Kyle and calls and is talking to recruits as well is significant.

This isn't about how much folks may dislike this guy or that at TA, say what you will about their opinions and moderation but they are very professional in how they treat recruits. You can hate Looch but realize this is going to benefit us and of course no one should feel compelled to participate.

The funny thing to me is I don't think there was nearly the amount of organized NIL going on everyone thinks there was but this will definitely will be. It's the perfect vehicle for crowd sourcing serious money to athletes in a legal way.

We are all shocked. SHOCKED I TELL YOU!


I agree with the above, it will probably do well and seems like a good idea to crowdsource NIL stuff for our players. I don’t pay for premium or anything over there, still just a regular subscriber for the basic boards, so I probably won’t be doing it but I bet there are a lot of ags that will. Good for TA getting out ahead of this NIL stuff. For once it’s seems like A&M in general isn’t playing catch-up with what other schools/athletic departments are doing.

Enjoying Jimbo and the coaches on the mega cast.

Only 17 more new topics needed and all of mine will no longer even be on the 2nd page. Get to work.
