Just a brief update, or non-update. Waiting for a response from an email to Mark Wheeler asking for an expected timeline on our application. I sent it Wednesday, one week after submitting the application. Hopefully it’s a sign that they are inundated with potential NIL projects!
With school not in session I don’t think there is a lot of urgency right now, but I would like to have everything in place and the opportunity posted by the start of summer sessions. I think we need to order merchandise by August 1 to have everything ready to go for Louisville. In addition to use of name, I
plan to ask for a 2-3 minute video greeting prior to every home tailgate to be played in our Fine Mess mobile media room,  signed 8x10s to sell at a nominal fee and an informal meet & greet on the field after the FanFest, assuming there is one, or comparable event. Assuming everyone follows through on their pledges and based on where we stand right now, I am planning on offering a $2500 - $3000 initial payment and a percentage of profits from merchandise sales. Balance of pledge money will be used to front the cost for T shirts, koozies and photos. Upon approval I will meet with the Fine Mess Executive Committee to finalize offer prior to posting. I will also seek clarity on the rule that prohibits using NIL deals to require enrollment or continued attendance at a specific institution. With transfer portal feeding frenzies that seems to prohibit a multi year agreement unless we want to be paying a player who transfers to Chadron State.

I will keep everyone updated here.
