Looks legit. But the hard part is getting somebody to actually manage it every month.

Looks like several other groups of players from other schools have also started an NIL Club. There are 42 A&T football players listed as participating. The target is basically $200 per player per month. Their job is to create content, our job is to chip in a few bucks a month for access to the content. Over 100 schools over multiple sports. nilclub.com/ |

Who manages it? How is the money distributed? Is there any University/ Athletic Adm or coach awareness?

It's run by the players.

Over 100 schools over multiple sports. nilclub.com/There is 50+ players participating currently. If the goal is $200.00 per player per month, then we need to contribute 10K per month. I am all for contributing, $200 per player per month is reasonable in my opinion. Maybe Duncan Powell would have stayed with us if the basketball team had something like this. I wanted to keep those players we recruit, especially if they are pretty good athletics and contributing to upgrading our teams. |

The stated goal is now just $1000 per month on the site, which actually works out to just $20 per player if split equally between the now 51 players that are participating. |

They need a non-player to manage and promote this campaign. It sounds great in theory but there are a ton of ways this thing could go sideways.

Maybe Aggie One can make some suggestions on possible managers. I really don't want to lose good players for the reason Duncan Powell listed. I think we can do better and must do better to complete in the CAA. The players initiated this effort and I think if we can help to make it a success, it would go a long way to show our dedication to the players and sports in general. Our graduates earn the second most dollars after graduation in NC after Duke. I think we can make this a success and improve our recruiting overall with some effort. Let do this !!! |

Definitely not. This sounds like a full-time job. |
