Great ideas and these are exactly the sort of ideas that the NIL was meant to lead to…. If people buy a “Cadeau” shirt then Elliot should benefit from the sale.I will say this, I have seen several outside the box creative ideas that other schools do to bolster their collective. Carolina seems invisible and I never hear about those type of initiatives.
Why isn’t there a team store at the arena where 10-20% of all sales goes to the players?
What about a small increase on ticket face value that goes to the players? Tennessee did something like this.
Maybe a small charge to tour the museum with all proceeds going to the players?
I could list several other things I’ve seen other schools do, but footing the NIL budget doesn’t have to fall solely on a handful of large boosters. It just takes leadership and organization from the right people to make sure the collective is equipped to get and retain talent.
I’m sure he’s not happy…. Losing recruits due to a screwed up system must suck.Hubert isn't happy. Otherwise he wouldn't have just laid into a bunch of boosters for our NIL issues.
I see people saying changes will come to NIL. But I again ask how? How does the NCAA limit NIL in any way without running afoul of antitrust litigation? I've yet to see a single person make a coherent argument for how this can be done. It's all just pie in the sky wishful thinking of "oh I'm sure they'll fix it eventually." Nothing short of an act of Congress granting the NCAA antitrust protection is going to allow the NCAA to set rules to fix NIL.
Well, it looks like you’ve found a job for yourself! Hit the phones and get out there drumming up donations!Only 967 followers for UNC's official NIL. Seems like engaging the millions of UNC fans across the world should be a priority.

That's TJ Beisner's job. He is paid to lead our NIL.Well, it looks like you’ve found a job for yourself! Hit the phones and get out there drumming up donations!
Just curious is there someone out there better than TJ we could hire going forward or would it matter ...That's TJ Beisner's job. He is paid to lead our NIL.
I would argue we couldn't hire much worse. We don't have the money to get the recruits Hubert wants, and there's been basically no effort to sustain engagement from the UNC fans across the world. Every aspect of our NIL failures falls at Beisner's feet.Just curious is there someone out there better than TJ we could hire going forward or would it matter ...
ThanksTJ was supposedly killing it at UK when we poached him
That's not true at all. TJ Beisner was being run out of Lexington when we tossed him a lifeline. He was one of many staff members on the chopping block as the Calipari era was crashing down.Thanks
If he was run out of UK .. I think the same needs to happen at UNCThat's not true at all. TJ Beisner was being run out of Lexington when we tossed him a lifeline. He was one of many staff members on the chopping block as the Calipari era was crashing down.
Kentucky is now doing far, far better with NIL since Beisner left.
The proof is in the pudding. While Hubert Davis is telling his donors we don't have enough NIL money to compete, Kentucky is in the process of buying 4 recruits that Hubert offered in 2025.
There were several uk fans complaining about their NIL when he was there. I was pretty shocked to see him hired by Carolina given the state of uk’s NIL at the time.If he was run out of UK .. I think the same needs to happen at UNC
