Re: Questions for Thorr and Stone
I think the questions that focus on the operations of the Collective would be the ones that have the best chance of being answered. And maybe the questions would be pre submitted to Thor4 and Stone before any Zoom would happen or a podcast that could be posted here. The goal, I think, is for transp...

Re: Questions for Thorr and Stone
I thought NIL was to allow the players to make money off their name, image and likeness…how did that turn into the fans paying the players? I thought they were supposed to be able to get paid for gear sales with their names, or if a company wants to hire them as a spokesperson or for a personal app...

Re: Understanding the NIL

Re: Questions for Thorr and Stone
Who makes the decisions on amount each player gets? Couldn't Rhody15 answer this? He states that the school can not be a part of NIL.

Re: Understanding the NIL
The NIL could effect fans at some point (that aren’t effected now). I mean I gave a little, but how long can we expect the same people to foot the bill? Forever? I think in the short term answer is forever? However, forever might not be that long, until the current system that has evolved will coll...

Regarding Rhody Rehab and Dan Hurley, I think Andrea might offer some in-house guidance, she is a healer, fixer. Dan sometimes referenced this during his time here. Is sideline act, real simple, if he is not your coach, betting against him etc, you dislike him, if he is your coach you love him.
