TGHusker Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Ok, so what does "1890" stand for? The last year we won a conference championship?? How much money does it provide the players. Do we have a list of the NIL values given to players? 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think they release that. Not that I've seen. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Also, their web site lists several other players: Omar Manning, Gabe Ervin, Garrett Nelson, Rahmir Johnson, Casey Thompson, Lexi Rodriguez, Lindsay Krause and Ally Batenhorst. Obviously Nelson has decided to move on so being on that list doesn't guarantee being here next year. Quote Link to comment

I think it would be a plus on the recruiting trail. Quote Link to comment

He did and he is done. I'm sure that website is simply referencing athletes for this current year for pure marketing and presence purposes. Seeing how we're still in this school year, they have every right to showcase some of the athletes even if their season is complete. Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Can someone either explain the whole NIL process, or link a site for the process? When Ohio State was running spots on local news for money, I was surprised. (It may have been a 1890 equivalent?? Not sure?) They also said the players would be doing community and charity projects as well for the money. This was done because OSU stated, they need better players. Quote Link to comment

You got to be kidding me. Their players were hanging with Georgia and even gave them a run for their money. OSU is doing just fine with the players they bring in. Quote Link to comment

In theory NIL was supposed to let them do endorsements and things like that where they could profit from the public status. Which is still basically what it is. But it has quickly evolved into "collectives" which do all the leg work for the athletes. They raise a bunch of money and then pass it along to the athletes. They are still supposed to have to "work" to earn that money but it's pretty light on the "work" and heavy on the compensation. Big donors can give money to the collective and it gets passes on that way. 1 Quote Link to comment

For clarification, this was the week after the Michigan loss, and yes, they said they need better athletes. Anyone could donate to the cause. Quote Link to comment

Everyone can use more athletes. Quote Link to comment

All you need to know is that the college football you knew is gone (which I think is good) and now the players essentially get paid salaries (which I also think is good). 1 Quote Link to comment

kchusker_chris Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 ...for some reason every time I see the "1890 Initiative" my first instinct is to wonder whether that is the thing we keep hearing about in education. Then I google it and see that is the "1619 Project" - still too close and too weird for me. Time for a new name. Quote Link to comment
