The Fran fade

Kids from states like Nebraska and Iowa are going to do better than kids from states like Florida and California...little competition with pro athletes. I think that is actually a selling point for schools like Iowa State.

From what I've seen, the autographs are free, but for every $10 spent on fireworks, a person gets a ticket for a chance to win a pair of his shoes.

His tweet:

Come on Jorbo. You've been harping on this NIL stuff for how long and you promote your first "big" event with a quote in which the first sentence ends in a preposition.


I'll give him some credit though. His market research priced the autographs correctly.
 
Is this the year of Iowa's dream lineup?

Two sons of a former basketball player
Two sons of the current basketball coach
One son of a former football player

Nepotism at its finest. The Habsburgs would be proud. Connor even kind of has the jaw.
Do they have the son of a convicted felon who likes to hang out with a creepy Elvis dude?

That’s gonna be a trip to see unfold from afar this year.
 
I'm assuming the Iowa players are signing up for this because its like a "why not" situation.
I'm also assuming that translates into them thinking it will help with recruiting (it won't) because they encourage their players to be themselves and help market them.

I'm getting at I don't blame the players, I just don't think these guys are good enough to warrant making much money off it.
Honestly, if I were an Iowa fan, I'd pay money to chat with Jess Settles vs these guys because Jess has great insight on the game when I've heard/saw him.

I think the biggest thing some of these players are going to realize is that is it is going to be lot harder to make money on NIL than they thought. One of the things you have to be good at is social media. But I am glad they are at least able to explore this now.

I think it will be tough.
I'd imagine Georges Niang could have made some coin but PMac? I don't think so.

I think as a whole players well get some decent exposure money from the NIL stuff because the idea of more exclusive access to our favorite players is new/fresh...however over time it'll saturate and my guess is people are going to get sick of forking over ten bucks to see a player pimp fireworks.

Oh yeah, if you have a guy like that with a great personality and is great on the court, they could make some good coin. I mean if Niang wanted to he could get every business in Ames to give him money for his endorsement.
