The 1890 Initiative

I guess PJ and other MN admin are using 1890/Nebraska as an example when talking to donors of what the Gophers need to be.  He is emphasizing that they are not going to be able to compete with peer schools like Nebraska due to the amount of money we are spending not only on our top players, but also on the middle and bottom of the roster.  He has specifically mentioned the NIL scholarships that we are giving out to walkons with other FBS/FCS offers as something that Minny needs to be doing to get the kids that go to the Dakota schools.

Who needs to "row" when you got motor boat!!!

 
So are there other NIL organizations here other than the 1890 Initiative? Is it the most "legitimate"?

Idk why but the NIL groups make me nervous. It just seems like it is the wild wild west right now.

There may be smaller ones, but the biggest by far is 1890. They seem to be the one the school "unofficially" works with regarding NIL.

By all accounts, 1890 is a well run NIL operation despite weird message board missgivings about Matt Davidson. If you chose to donate, most of your money will go directly towards Husker Athletics - with a small amount going towards costs to run the operation.
