More Thoughts on NIL

[The-Hack]

If I were Stoops/Barnhart, or anyone of actual intellectual capacity at UK, I would seek NIL advice from fans, the QB Club, boosters, etc.

Start an NIL "suggestion box" on the internet.

Have some fun: think outside the box!

How 'bout NIL beer, and other goods available for sale at every sporting event? (That is stunningly simple, and hardly "outside the box.")

How 'bout 50 cent dedicated NIL toilets? Seriously: set aside one pay-to-pee/sh!t stall with a place to put two quarters in, and place the team logo of whoever we are playing in the bottom of the NIL toilet. I'd gladly give 50 cents to piss on UT and U of L every-other-year.

Yes, NIL will largely be funded by large donors, but find ways to raise nickel-and-dime money, as it can stack up pretty quickly.

Are my ideas "corny."

Yeah.

But wait 'till you see what I leave behind in the NIL toilet!!!!

Hey, how about a "coming and going approach?" Sell NIL beer at an extra dollar, and each beer cup has a bar code that allows your use of a few NIL dedicated Heads? Market it as "Drink to UK, and piss on everyone else!"

Are lottery-like drawings allowed?

Have one each football game, at 5 bucks a ticket, to be drawn in the end of the third quarter.

In short, we all need to quit bitchin' about NIL and have some damn fun with the new reality of college sports. It beats the hell out of the old days when bags of money were being paid to athletes.

I think Hack pointed out in a different thread it isn't so much the NIL, it's the production of the players that received the NIL.

Well, NIL is a continuing reality, regardless of who the Coach is.

Whether and when Stoops leaves and getting creative with NIL are two different topics.

We are more than three years into NIL, and the very day I am most likely to want to kick into NIL activities, game day, has been largely ignored by those in power.

I want NIL clothes, snacks, drinks and anything else that can be thought of to be readily available to me when I am toting a hundred dollar bill I have no intention of keeping when I attend games. Maybe that will cost Malone's a steak sale, but so be it.

Bitchin' about Stoops is one thing (and I have joined the Choir) but that is merely cursing the darkness. Finding smart/funny/effective ways to support NIL is casting a light.
