But why not charge and work through ticket sales like Tennessee does to fundraise for their NIL.
I don't know that rules or specifics, so bear with me a bit...
If you have 65,000 season ticket holders or even 70,000 (probably more like it), and you just charge a one time NIL surcharge of $250 per seat, you get $17,500,00 in NIL fundraising. Add the probably 12,000 at avg of $15 a month that's another 2,160,000 in to bring the Sooners NIL to 19,660,00 before they even get to the big donors and their 15-20 million they provide a year.
Again, I don't know the rules. What I do know is that the Vols are using a 10% "talent fee" to fundraise for their collective. I am just proposing a flat rate of extra $250 per seat. A one time fee.
Why not do that if you're the Sooners? At that point, there is not ever "this player costs too much" when you have 40 million in the NIL pot each year and will also be able to roll over to the other sports as well. For basketball it's just an extra 150 per seat for the 7500 season ticket holders. That is 1,125,000 for them and also they can tap into some leftovers with football if needed. Puts the whole athletic dept at a competitive advantage.
Maybe I a missing something. If so, please let me know. But wanted to open this up for discussion and ideas.
Until then, here is the link for the collective and you can make one time donations there as well:
