2024 Edition-Bilas “Let them transfer at Halftime to the opposing team” Portal Update

[SubGod22]

Except no one has hardly mentioned it, explained it, updated it ect AT ALL. I’ve got to be in the top 1% of people interested in giving and I never see **** ABOUT IT.

We talked about it on here when they rebranded a few weeks ago.

KS just posted on fb. Needs 5000 shocker fans to contribute an ADDITIONAL $500 annually for NIL.

That........................
is.....................................
hilarious!

I mean, how many times do you need to see it? I saw it once and was already planning on giving when finances allowed.....only takes seeing it once to decide if you want to do it.

Yes, they can market more to get more eyes on it. But I don't think someone should have to see it 30 times to finally decide if they will do it.

There is far more communication in other organizations and schools on this topic than we have.

That is what is frustrating, and I have a feeling that is one of the things leading to a lot of the apathy. In addition to our general poor performance on the court.

We have an aging fan base. A lot of people have money and are willing to donate. But they need to understand it and have it explained to them. That is not getting done. There is money left out there.

They say the fans take on the personality of the coach. Marshall was a maniac and so were the fans. Mills is ho hum and quiet, so are the fans. If they want to light a fire under the fans, it has to start with Mills as the leader.

Kevin Saal….

You need to post about the NIL goals.. and more importantly Armchair needs to post and update about them…. WEEKS TO
MONTHS BEFORE someone like Colby is in the portal.

Not an hour after.

I have enjoyed a ton of what you’ve done. But the education and communication on this has been total ****. And that certainly is on your lap. Fix it!!!

This was two weeks before Rogers entered the portal.

We all agree that Armchair went dark and was frustrating as hell and has a lot of work to do going forward. But as a part of the rebrand, they put this out and I believe Taylor covered it for the Eagle as well.


edit:
Not sure why it isn't just a link to the original post we're discussing but I also don't often link to posts like this. Maybe this is normal? Second link should take you where it's supposed to go.

Yeah I mean I saw it then.

I’m saying, if you’re really trying to stop someone from leaving, you probably need constant reminders for everyone, particularly at the end of the season.

As I’ve mentioned before I donate to another collective for college football and let me tell you, they let everyone know at the end of the season, and how important all this is the second the season is over.

I just feel like doing it minutes after someone has left while you haven’t talked about it in multiple weeks is not a great look.

The wording could just be poor. He may mean the original goal of $500?

Additional = this is targeting people who give to SASO but not NIL primarily


At some point it just becomes we either have a fanbase who gives and we can move up in the NIL world or we don’t, like some have already said they’ve got the AD pushing it, WS Collective has been more active on socials although right now there isn’t much to post because who knows who is even still in town as far as athletes etc etc.

agree that we definitely need Mills to step up

[Stickboy46]

or 1,000 fans to give........ah....... 1,300

Results last year were about half as good as most expected

soooo maybe 1 underperforming coach can give half of his million+ salary to NIL to help himself out!

And btw, this 500/yr drive has been pretty darn successful all things considered. I’d say a lot of people do know about it and have contributed. Curious if everyone in the thread when it was first posted who said they would give it a chance have?

I think there were five who said they either would contribute or would consider contributing.

I don't think most posters are on board with NIL in general or at least contributing to it based on what I can recall from the topic in the past.

I hope this is true! And ours is done.

I've signed up for monthly payments and contributed with a one-time donation.

I wonder how much the one visible NIL ad that XB did for Lewis Street Glass hurt our chances of keeping CR. Certainly XB helped us win some games, but CR is and would have been much more valuable and he didn’t get the most visible NIL ad in Wichita. Guess we will never know…
