Idea for NIL to of more benefit to the VT's than the 'Bama's of the world

Virginia Tech should hire a team of agents to represent the players and get them more and better deals for their NIL deals. The agents can work on salary supplemented by commission. Go tell a 4 or 5* recruit - you can go to 'Bama or tOSU, compete, and have a good experience, but not stand out as much. You can come to Virginia Tech, be a stand out, play in games that still get national exposure, and stand out more. More exposure translates into more $$$ from your NIL deals, and we even have a few guys on board to help you get the best deals.

Might be wishful thinking, but I wouldn't be surprised if some school somewhere doesn't try it.

Apparently other schools doing something similiar. UNC with a group deal -- 40ozDistrict 07/23/2021 09:18AM

Exactly what they should do until someone makes them stop -- Wild Turkey 07/23/2021 1:22PM

Well we better keep with the Jones and quick ** -- Wild Turkey 07/23/2021 12:15PM

So potential to recruit better if you market school brand better... -- HokieinATL07 07/23/2021 11:26AM

UNC playing chess while we’re still learning how to play checkers ** -- Conan the Hokie 07/23/2021 11:26AM

I'm sure you are right, but I thought the group thing meant Howell & Love -- HokieDelNorte 07/23/2021 11:07AM

And their baby blue unc national brand mainly from basketball sells. Go -- 91HokieBob 07/23/2021 10:06AM

I think I saw where Michigan is doing the same type of thing. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 07/23/2021 09:55AM

Yep, that's what the article says. ** -- Will Stewart

07/23/2021 10:05AM

That seems like a no brainer. Why didn't VT think of that? ** -- Atlee Hokie 07/23/2021 09:52AM

VT never thinks of anything. They sit, watch, ponder, ponder, then react -- 40ozDistrict 07/23/2021 10:42AM

Hmmm, not really so... -- HOKIEGOBBLE 07/23/2021 12:07PM

Nova new campus. Yeah I recall the spike in recruiting and $$$. LOL, sorry ** -- 40ozDistrict 07/23/2021 1:14PM

Clearly...I failed to make my point clear -- HOKIEGOBBLE 07/23/2021 1:33PM

We don’t have the Michael Jordan brand -- Hokie1992 07/23/2021 10:04AM

It's not about the brand. -- Atlee Hokie 07/23/2021 10:22AM

There shouldn’t be anything to stop VT and every other school to set up -- Hokie1992 07/23/2021 10:54AM

If that's legal, VT needs to copy it. ** -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 09:47AM

Article basically says, if it works, others will copy. -- Will Stewart

07/23/2021 09:52AM

Frankly I'm not sure anything UNC does is legal, so... -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 10:02AM

Nobody's sure. Like Coach said in the podcast... the NCAA punted on this. -- Hokie CPA 07/23/2021 10:19AM

It seems like as long as UNC is okay with the license being used no problem ** -- NokieHokie 07/23/2021 09:57AM
