    No kidding. That was a slight oversight.

Video has Boatright saying pretty much the same thing he said in the Eagle article, and also has Ryan Baty, who runs the KU NIL Collective with his brother (you might also recognize Baty from his The Matress Hub company commercials).



      Unfortunately, this article makes it appear that the $2800 raised was specifically for NIL. Not that it was raised to start a campaign to remove Boatright.

      But at least people are talking I guess.

        • Yuck. Don't like that.


          But on some good news - my contact at Lamar is a big Shocker guy too. Chances are we're gonna get a pretty solid deal here! Do we want to proceed to get them up ASAP?

            Yes. I think we need to strike while people are still talking about the lack of NIL support and the player exodus.

            • Just got a chance to read the KWCH article and they really f*ed it up. I am emailing the guy who reached out to me now to correct things.

                Yes. We got the funds. DB didn’t say anything in the article. The media is missing the point. Time to make the point.

                  Awesome. I'll post some finalized billboard designs tomorrow and we will get the ball rolling on a finalized contract.

                    I'm sure if someone wanted to trace the money... At some point there would have been public funds used for at least part of this... Which should make those NDAs pretty toothless I'd assume

                    • Kiddos to the 40 or so other people who donated to make this billboard possible. And a HUGE thanks to Onegreatracer for spearheading this Project.

                        It feels good to be able to do something this big for WSU athletics!

                        On the website front, it should be ready to go up tomorrow, I'm just really curious if we can put the Save Shocker Sports logos on shirts without a Cease and Desist or worse. Have the #FireBoatright ones ready to go though.

                          Has ShockerNet seen any legal activity?

                            I believe by law that you must proceed using the money for the purpose as advertised.
                            I don't believe you can change the original stated purpose of the money after donations are made without being subject to law suit.

                            • "I have two units that would target two flows of major highway traffic which would be way better than the original unit you expressed interest in on I-135. I have concerns that there may be some obstruction from the highway embankment. Also, it's a significant cross-read. I want this message to be visible and effective. The thing is, these alternative options won't be coming available until 5/16/22. Therefore, I am suggesting a short 2-week digital flight beginning next week (5/2/22) until the static materials (vinyls) arrive. You'll appear on our digital billboards near 21st & Woodlawn and 2811 N I-135 & 29th St (I-135 & K-96 interchange). Then, beginning 5/16/22, we could install static units at the following locations -- 1441 E K-96 & I-135 (eastbound K-96 traffic merging from I-135 SB), 481 N I-135 & Central and 6011 E 21st St & Woodlawn. I only have you on here for 1 week but, since I don't foresee any immediate advertisers to succeed you, you may receive override and added value. Total cost for this special 3-week run would be $2,500.00 NET."


                              How do we feel about this?? Seems pretty good to me, then we can look at extention with the excess funds once the time is up??
