Hardly ever post, but is there anything wrong with a "go fund me" approach to allow those of us without the ability to act alone to participate in NIL? Maybe a "meat eaters" fund for appearances at the annual event.

I haven't read any of the NIL rules, but presumably at a minimum it needs to be a legal & taxable business transaction.  i.e. - at least a 1099 would be issued for whatever NIL service they are providing.  Cash under the table is still not allowed.

What about the NILs for the all the other guys? Do we want to keep them? Will the NCAA put an NIL cap on teams like MLB to even the field? I see how it benefits the players, but not sure how it benefits Marquette.

At some point in will no longer be an athletic department but a marketing department for the University.

Get each player connected with a Milwaukee area car dealership.

That's what I've seen from a handful of players around the country.

My neighbor played hoops and his wife volleyball at Ohio State and is in financial services now...I was talking to him a few weeks ago and he was talking about how there were multiple groups starting up in Columbus that were setting up funds for this purpose.  Didn't sound like small donors but bigger fish pulling there money to spread it beyond the stars and even beyond football and hoops.  Next time I see him I will try to pry a little more info out of him.

That's what we called it in Kenosha.

It has nothing to do with Marquette.

Lemurs are delicious

Ever tried Lemur kabobs? Heavenly.

Only commercials that I seen in the Racine area were from Johnny Davis and Braelon Allen. Can't remember what Allen's was for. Davis was for Jockey (he just goes around telling everybody how great I am).

Ironjoc apparel.  "Yes, I am 18 now"...which is really weird.

The Thai recipe I have for lemur is killer.

MU needs to get more involved with this individual, William C.Stone.  1977 Grad who has given $50 million to various IU Evansville Health initiatives.  Money is fungible. If this fellow were to give a similar amount to MU general fund, some  funds could find there were to a marketing fund for Student Athletes.

Its interesting, you have a founder and chairman of a HUGE publicaly traded company, who doesn't appear to be publicity shy or private about donations...yet has no notably connection to his alma mater other than the school mentioned in his bio and a blurb on the business school website.

Maybe Real Chili made him sick one time.

Or maybe he is involved in a lot of things including Marquette.

Seems really dedicated to his hometown. Not a bad thing.

A single award from an alumni weekend a decade ago doesn't really seem like he's quite involved with MU.

I'm not knocking the guy.  He's clearly involved in a lot, it just doesn't seem like there is a ton of MU ties like other wealthy/prominent alumni.  Evansville is a clear priority for him, which is cool.

I studied Mr. Stones history. It is fascinating. An extremely talented individual .

He built up his company through a series of small software acquisitions, took it public then went private in partnership with a big Private Equity investor. Cashing out a little bit each time.

He then took the business public again, cashed out some ,  then has held most of the shares he had since taking it public ,  Looks like enough to fund some of the charitable contributions in the Evansville area. Still owns $2.6 Billion in stock and clocking 26 million annually in dividends.

My guess is Marquette is staying close to him and maybe given the scope of his wealth, there may be something significant estate planning involving MU.

I think it's kinda weird that we haven't even heard Justin declare and not hire an agent yet.

You would think he would go through the process and the very minimum.

He has until the 24th to declare. Plenty of time.

He then has 5 weeks to decide if he is going.

And maybe he decided he would rather use his money to help sick children.
