As I watch Tyler Nickel fill it up. I can’t help but wonder about MYs

Ability to gain NIL. Yes I understand he is not in direct control. But he can obviously lobby for more NIL. When I look at Pry and MY they are very different. MY is a tactician. Public speaking/sales doesn’t seem to be his strong suit. I remember a year when my performance was dinged because we didn’t do what we said because we weren’t allocated funds. My boss said I can change your review but tell me. What did you do to try and get money? How many senior executives did you present a case too? What case did you present? Did you do any grassroots lobbying? I don’t know what he can or cannot do. But can he approach the NIL groups and ask for help? Can he present his case? Based on what I see, coaches can ask for people to contribute to NILs. Maybe its happened. But I can’t remember a single appeal from MY asking to contribute a NIL specifically for basketball. Once again. I don’t see that as his strong suit. I realize he has people against him who believe the future is football. Just curious what has he done?

NIL analytics "front office" is a brilliant idea
