Big NIL deal coming for whole team

Our administration who doesn't support NIL has an NIL agreement with Nike and Fanatics to sell officially licensed UK jerseys with players name that they will profit from.

who originally tweeted this? Was it a company, UK athletics, a fan?
 
I read a report that said players are only getting 4.85 for every jersey sold. The jerseys are selling for 145.00 at other schools. Crazy.
 
Will they still get money if we buy a plain jersey? I don’t wanna be caught in public wearing a football jersey but at home on Gameday I’d wear one. Would just be a little strange having Afari or Rodriguez on the back.

I would assume the school would get something but players would only get money if a jersey has their name on it.
 
I want a Deone Walker jersey. No wait, I want a Barion Brown jersey. Wait, I want a Key jersey. Woah woah, wait, actually I want a Smoke jersey. Better yet, I’ll get a Robinson jersey. But wait, I gotta get a Levis jersey, right? Yeah but it’d be cool to get a Trevin Wallace jersey. What about JJ Weaver? Jordan Wright? SQUARE?!!!!

Sheesh, too many stars to choose from!
 
Have the rules changed again? I thought there was something that players could not benefit from anything with a UK logo...but then again, this NIL stuff seems to change all the time.

The school would be getting a percentage of jersey sales. Athletes only get 4.85 a jersey.
 
Pathetic.

Less than $5 from fans buying something for $150, completely because of that players name & the number they wear while playing to make UK money. comes out to a 3.33% cut to the players. Who gets the 96.67%?


Yeah, not joining any if y'all in a parade to thank Barnhart for this INCREDIBLE GENEROSITY
 
Only one fanbase of the schools that did this deal with Nike and Fanatics are mad about it. Welcome to Cats Illustrated where "fans" specialize in tearing down the school, the administration, coaches, players, former coaches, and former players. What a miserable group.

Just to be clear, you support players getting $4.85 out of $145 paid by the public for a jersey.
