💰 Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) Discussion

[jasponti]

I think UVA should add a girlfriend/boyfriend relocation program to their NIL package for all sports. End this “homesick-due-to-distance-relationship” BS right now.

[grillswith]

Ok, I’ll commit something here. Who is in charge? Personally I’d like to get a small bag to all those who are returning during this school year.

[Merch]

Awesome, we’re working on some options. We are trying to find a solution that has minimal fees and more transparency. Open to any suggestions.

[BDragon]

What’s the overhead on LRAs part. What are the fees and how bad are they? Understanding that will help me provide better feedback

Adam Weitsman: I will no longer support Syracuse athletics with NIL,...

[haney]

“Personally, I hate hanging out with celebrities and it in no way stoked my ego. I was doing it all for you, Syracuse, but if you don’t want me to do it, I can take my private jet and go home.”

[AdventiveQuasar]

Nice tantrum by Weitsman. Maybe he’s taking his talents to South Beach (Boca Raton), since he made a NIL deal with one of the FAU guys during the Final Four.

[haney]

I low key think FAU might become a perennial power in the next 5 years. Probably need to convince May to stick around.

Twitter reaction by SU fans to the Weitsman news is mixed, but I thought this holding-my-nose pro-Weitsman take was pretty funny:

How about we LRA crowdsource a Reece’s ad starring Reece? Here’s my admittedly poor first attempt:

Opening scene: CTB on the sidelines at the practice court getting ready to enjoy a Reece’s (CTB is better known and looks straight out of Hollywood casting).

Reece walks by
CTB- “Nice work in practice today Reece”
Freeze frame and tv caption appears below Recce’s smiling face “Reece Beekman, University of Virginia point guard “
(Reece throws a basketball to coach and takes CTB’s candy) “thanks coach “
CTB - “hey, that’s mine “
Reece (over his shoulder as he walks away toward off-camera)- “sorry coach, it literally has my name on it”

Next scene Elijah Gertrude being handed a sundae at the amazing JPJ player facilities.
Reece (happens to walk by) -“looks great, what kind?”
Gertrude- (suspiciously) “Reece’s peanut butter cup, why?”
Reece takes it “thanks rookie!”

Insert next scene here …

Next scene “and with the 27th pick in the NBA draft…”

[dave92]

“… the Dallas Mavericks select… Reece–”
Cut to Reece Beekman standing up, grinning at his friends and family
“…'s Peanut Butter Cups!”
Adam Silver and Mark Cuban take a bite of their peanut butter cups.
Cut back to Reece with a look of “wtf just happened”

Announcer: It’s never the wrong time to choose Reese’s.

[DFresh11]

Only this was the 24 draft and it was Elijah Gertrude!

Ha! And so it begins!

[DFresh11]

Always sounded like he was trying to get rid of money somehow

[StLouHoo]

LifeWallet isn’t a real business, was always only a matter of time before the SEC or IRS went digging. Guy was practically begging for it.

[BDragon]

Ruiz being shady is so onbrand. Just hope all those athletes cashed them checks.
