The 1890 Initiative

[Mavric]

What are you thinking for the attendance numbers?  10,000?

Hard to say.  But that seems plausible.  Not the most expensive Saturday night entertainment.

If the students were back on campus and they had food tents/beer tents, music, stuff like that, I could see it being really big.

What time is the Crawford fight?  That’s would be fun, but maybe takes away from the bars. They deserve a payout too.

Rumor has it that a VERY hefty donation was made to 1890 today.

Saw the number was floated at 3 million?

Davison was at practice today with some donors.  That hasn't been allowed by the athletic department previously.

I think On3 has basically become TMZ type clickbait. It's opinion pieces, specially the NIL aspect of the site, is terrible. 

Besides having absolutely no way to compile this information, if Nebraska really had the #8 NIL collective in the country the talent acquisition and recruiting operation would be much higher. 

There is a 0% chance that Alabama has a worse NIL operation than Louisville. Let alone simultaneously having a top notch recruiting class in the fold. That just isn't happening.

Ville has Papa John's money and they are basketball freaks.  Nate Oats could win 47 titles at Bama and no one would care.

Ville is loaded.  They always have been.  They just don't use it for FB as much as most schools.

I don't doubt it. 

What I do doubt is the On3 NIL information that they mostly make up. Starting with the estimated NIL value of recruits (which has no basis other than a players following on social media) and articles like this which they have a 0% chance of having reportable information to write.

NIL is far from the only factor that goes into that.  To try to make it this simplistic is disingenuous.

Your assumption.  Which, as @teachercd noted, is ignorant of the situation.
