Random drop-in… and I’m sure there a hundred problems with this stupid idea, but gonna throw it out there anyway
Sell alcohol at the games. Get a collective involved in it. Sell the drinks in commemorative cups featuring the names.. images.. heck, even the likenesses of players.
Overcharge for them, say they’re $12-15 a pop. But all the profit goes to the collective. Mitch says we don’t have to sell alcohol in part because we don’t need the money. At the same time, he’s asking for more fans to support NIL although I fail to see a fan incentive to do so. Ok then, let all the alcohol sales go to NIL.
“…. But we can’t have underage players promoting alcohol!”
They’re not. They’re promoting cup sales. You can fill the cup with water, sprite, bud light, Mr. pibb zero. Idgaf, but seems like an easy loophole.
I’m sure Mitch wouldn’t go for it… but it’s all in how you pitch it. He’s a fan of honoring the legacy of long-dead greats affiliated with this state even though they have nothing to do with Kentucky athletics. So in the name of the late great Henry Clay, “the great compromiser,” Mitch should allow this concession (pun intended) to keep NIL afloat.
