I emailed Bryan Blair on this last week. Sadly, no reply as yet.

Other's have posted on here that a new basketball NIL collective announce is imminent...

I guess we'll see. It's been almost 5 months since Orange United shuttered... I don't understand what the hold up is.

Try Eric Silakowski. He is very responsive.

Right - was hoping it wasn’t sheer ignorance and poor messaging because they found a workaround… knowing it’s probably exactly that- not getting this right with messaging again.

i have no problem with the initiative at all. i applaud lobdell. i donated to the coaches fund last tuesday. just cant believe the articles and ads being written as if its for nil.

but... is lobdell intending it to build a roster?

Let’s not forget that lots of talks were happening a few weeks ago during the hiring process too. Commitments were likely made from certain camps about time money and resources for an in family hire. This could be these groups starting on those commitments regardless of what pool the money is going to.

I’d be interested if certain big donors or “planned” collectives can promise the money up front with the expectation that if the fanbase money doesn’t come in until later that they’ll front it and itll still usable by gmac in the portal.

All the money in the world wouldn’t of helped red because he wasn’t a good head coach

Yeah, and I like how some are blaming his failure on lack of NIL (including Red himself). I'm sorry, but last year was more about lack of coaching than putting it on the players. Year 2 was a disaster in terms of roster management so whatever on that year. This year though, we had enough talent to get at least into bubble conversation if not into the tournament. That's squarely on him.

I can already see what's going to happen. If GMac is successful, the narrative for some will be that he got a lot more help with NIL than Red and that's why he succeeded. I was very opposed to hiring GMac but at this point, I've moved on and will fully support him. Let's go!

Well when Orange United closed, Syracuse University and the Athletics department did NOT think that they needed a collective for NIL

Lobdell raised / donated it for Red as well.

That seemed obvious.
