I would estimate that Nebraska is still in the top 10 nationally in terms of following and that has to make potential advertisers interested and working out NIL deals. If the coaching staff can't sell that to potential recruits then we need to get better recruiters. Players like Frazier and Crouch and Suh would have made millions from NIL had it existed at the time.
NIL should help Nebraska

- Start date
IDK....still a pretty small market compared to others. Seems like we want this to be more accurate, than it might actually be.
I haven’t read anything about large deals like we are hearing elsewhere. Some players have admitted they haven’t received a thing. Seems like we need someone and perhaps the lambrecht bruning business will help get sponsors.
We do have a large, rabid fan base. But what we need to make it a positive is a huge business or group that does something specifically for our players and/or potential players. Haven’t heard anything like that yet from Nebraska.
Winning teams will get more NIL deals. Very few national accounts will want to sign an average pr even good player from an average or below average team. Local companies may sign some deals with players that arent high grade.
Olave got a sweet ride 22 ZL1 wingback no hate from me about this. Harrison wanted a Tahoe over the Silverado HD really?
They are happy they can finally release photos of these gifts now.
I have a small business, would be cool to get a player to do a spot for me. Wonder what the going rate is?
It say alot about the state of affairs regarding Nebraska football right now. All these other "big time" programs and the local community are rewarding these players handsomely "legally" with cars, endorsements and cash. Yet Nebraska down so bad that players can't do more coach peewee football and get free wrapped up hamburgers!
I honestly don't understand this. Nebraska needed an AD, Pres, boosters who could lean on businesses thru the state to get these players compensated like other schools. There is no way in the 90's that some Chevy or Buick dealer wouldn't have kicked out vehicles for players......what's the damn problem now???!!!
This is what is going to help with recruiting if hey get it right! If they don't then the TALENT gap is going to get even BIGGER!!

Why do you think Lambrecht left? He's working on starting a PR firm for Husker players to make deals. The infrastructure takes time when you're not a juggernaut anymore, but it's in the works. Some more wins this season will help (everything, including recruiting).
If I owned a Ford or GM dealership in Lincoln more than a few players will be riding round in my trucks. I wouldn't need help from someone at Nebraska.
Also Nebraska was supposed to been working on NIL longer than anyone else in the country from what was said with Blake Lawrence and Opendorse. Why would they lag behind the other schools.
Yes winning helps, but the energy isn't being the program from the community.
Yeah just not releasing the photos. They can break out the photo album now lol
