Supposed to be good with the Corporate NIL landscape. Has he done anything there? I haven't heard.

Yeah but we could really use 2 or 3 corporate NIL deals.

Our NIL seems to be doing well for us right now. It has given us a clear relative advantage to the field and our players get paid what they agreed to.

But thinking about it some more, I'm not sure the AD can get involved with arranging NIL donors. For now, the NCAA prevents the schools from being directly involved with NIL funds. The most a school can do is be a quasi agent for a player to help evaluate NIL offers.

He did it for Memphis. He got FedEx. He doesn't arrange the NIL deals. He just does the palm pressing and arse kissing to get them involved. These larger NIL agreements need corporate participation. Like Luther's deal with Schnucks.

NIL agreements come from the collective or corporate deals. We need a T-Mobile, Jersey Mike's etc kind of participation. The collective can't put together million dollar deals fast enough to respond to these transfer portal demands.

You might be giving Veatch too much credit for that. The fedex founder and fedex itself has always been looking for ways to dump money into Memphis sports. That is like trying to take credit for talking an Eskimo into wanting to buy a coat.

We dont really have a corporate identity like Memphis has FEDEX. We have had lots of alums as CEOs but we dont have many alums who own large corporations.

I did not know that about FedEx. So hi so called advantage with corporate America is BS. That's great. We could really use it.

You get a lot more money from lower profile businesses. Companies with $10M to $100M in revenue owned by alumni are great places to hunt for donors.
