The unintended conseqences of LANK and other player to player NIL deals

[Easttexastide]

So someone else close to the program well closer then me mentioned this I overlooked it but now kind of makes sense. To much smoke not to be fire. Anyways I'm sure lank mechadise isn't making any money but I'm also willing to bet former players and certain big money donors have dumped alot of money into lank. Makes since if its just not him getting it that other players are reaping some benefits he is effectively other players boss. Sad never thought about all this wish I didn't even see this thread.

I'm going to start a GoFundMe account to buy Bama_N_Va a map and compass.

Your money Sir would be better spent on helping me figure out where the 'e' key is on keyboard.

I'll fix my post...

It would have been very easy to do this last year v USF...

Let me throw a hypothetical in here. So we have a NIL collective for players being managed by a current player. And this player wields a significant amount of influence on those players participating in this collective (ok not so hypothetical thus far). So theteam is favored by a certain point spread in a game. And someone associated with gambling interests gets the “ear” of this influencer…..

I think you know where I’m going with this.

If one guy, by way of getting benched, can get a significant number to “underperform” to send a message they are “unhappy”, then what prevents something similar in terms of points spreads, etc?

IMO in no way, shape or form is having current players run a collective a good idea. We already see one result. It can get far, far worse.

Exactly where I was going. Alabama was a 34 point favorite and won by 14.

What happens to the branded "4+2=6" Yeti if number 4 isn't playing? Does it become more "Limited"?

I wouldn’t use or keep one of those if it was given to me for free.

If see a yeti with 15+2=17 you might want to grab that because it will be as rare as hens teeth.

You'll never convince me Milroe isn't forcing throws to Williams because of this brand.

We are being held hostage by NIL and branding.

Some people are just foolish on how they spend their money.
