[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 132060927, member: 1476288"] Completely agree $2mill Total isnt enough collectively. If just 1 of many nil sources paid 36 players a "Base income", that would attract many players we dont get now. It would also allow other nil sources/partners to be strategic with which players they more heavily pursue for those high impact players. I was looking at the $2mill hypothetically as just a base... A starting point to spread it out over a broad number of players to at least give them a wage large enough some players could send some money home to their mom if needed. We wont be able to get those 5 star players heavily pursued by every blueblood, but we can pursue a larger number of mid-high 4 stars or players that our staff feel are extremely under rated/recruited. I believe we can pull resources together in a way that will allow us to attract 6-8(maybe up to 10 after a few years) cornerstone type players, guys you can build a class around. If we did that for 5 years, that would be approx 30 cornerstone players on the roster(assuming we can retain the majority), a more consistent flow of higher talent level. I mean, we will never be able to spend $13mill per year doing it the traditional way of relying on annual donations. We cant get those Bryce Young types, just like how NFL teams maintain a salary cap and typically trade a QB once hes out of his rookie contract. We can deploy the Patriots model of spreading it out more evenly(for the "Base" nil deal") then allow other nil partners to sweeten the pot with secondary offerings/contracts/etc. [/QUOTE]
