I got my wife the Berger crew neck for Christmas. It’s pretty cool. Teri Moren wore it on the sidelines of a game which is absolutely genius marketing. I wish they’d just sell general IU stuff that went to the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Just for discussion: Angel Reese of LSU just got a $126,000 Mercedes-Benz gifted to her. Her NIL deal overall is $1.4 million. The news is all over social media, and I'm sure male basketball players and recruits are seeing it. Thinking: if a GIRL gets national fame, drives that ride and makes over $1 million, what do I have to do for the same or better? btw, her grade point average is 1.9. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/lsu-star-angel-reese-gifted-brand-new-mercedes-benz-21st-birthday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got her eyeballs, notoriety, followers and ultimately NIL deals and apparel commissions. She wasn't trying to talk crap to Clark, she was trying to leverage Clark's attention into her own. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 The whole NIL scene is just nauseating at times to me. Not Angel Reese in particular, because she's a long way from the source of the problem in my mind...just the latest example in a never-ending and ever-spiraling journey to crazytown. If you want more examples, just look at this forum's recruiting section...just full of "look at me" stuff...top ten school lists...I'm not limiting my recruitment to the top four I posted last week. Every school in D1 is invited to bow and kiss my ring. 300 kids declaring for the draft with more than half of them never sniffing the NBA. Guys on their 4th school in four years. The portal feeding frenzy. The absolute insanity of social media. The quest for the quickest way to those NBA millions. Kids more concerned about how they look running out of the tunnel than how they actually perform on the floor. I'm ready for this NIL crap to find some reasonable level of equilibrium, because it's hard for me to believe that it's not hurting college athletics in it's current iteration. I don't begrudge kids like Trayce and Jalen being rewarded for their hard work and success but it seems like it's spiraled out of control with some of the crazy examples we've seen recently. ...and while the experience in dealing with NBA egos is surely helpful, I don't envy old school coaches like Mike Woodson trying to navigate this minefield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like with companies/business owners/people who don't adjust they get run over with a mess because their inaction of decades. This whole mess is squarely on Brand and Emmert. They had their chance to make this right or find a solution and they set squarely on their backs doing nothing. Maybe this Baker guy has a solution but his first comments on it involved Washington and nothing good comes out of getting those folks involved. I'm just glad were covered in the NIL world. Guess that's my silver lining for IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While everything is on the up and up now regarding paying athletes, you know there is still some backdoor stuff happening with money and Uncle Sam aren't getting theirs. When this happens, that is when you will see D.C. get involved and this becomes more regulated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually doubt the taxes are a problem with the NIL - they should be getting a 1099 or W2 for those payments which makes the tax part pretty easy. If the IRS wasn’t particularly interested in the under the table payments that happened for years I don’t see the NIL being a huge problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember IRS agents hanging out in Lexington or Tobacco Road or Ann Arbor and on and on....don't think this is going to get them in a rush to collect.

Like I said Brand and Emmert had decades to get out in front of this. Chose to look the other way because academia buildings were being built across the country because of the TV deals. Now we have a mess. Who knew looking the other for 2 decades would create a problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Government should have a formula for reducing funding to schools who benefit from tv deals, donations, grants, ect. And quit backing student loans. If Government got out of the university and student aid business and instead established limits and protections on private loans you may see a change. Government is responsible for the state of universities today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you to some extent, although there was that whole FBI investigation thing that seems to have gone nowhere, but was related to this very topic.

Seeking6 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Malik Reneau was on Fox59 this just now doing his plug for his Malik Reneau Burger at Big Woods restaurant. $ from each burger purchased goes to Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Indiana. He's back home in Miami and said while he's lifting/getting workouts 2-3x a day... he typically backs down a bit this month before heading back to IU in June to let his body heal from the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter of those locations will be getting a few stops from us. Looks pretty darn good to me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think most teams, both small and large, have figured out to defend him and take his game away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
