SMU alumni group to donate $1 million annually to NIL

So is this money going straight to players or is there a bunch of bs overhead involved. Seems a little shady based on the article, could be a scheme

Beach and Butler are involved. It isn't a scheme.

Yes because NFL players have never been schemed out of their money before. Like any “charity” or fund there will be overhead the question I’m wondering is how much goes to the players versus the fund manager/staff.

If I’m a player I’m not going to know what the hell PonyUp is or be able to get hyped over their stated business model. I want cash and I want to go where I can get it the easiest. We’d be better up just setting up an art gallery that sells every players paintings. Or hell just do like UT does and offer a position group a specified salary for doing a meet and greet.

Name, image and likeness is all I have to say this is legal now. And i am glad it finally is legal. An OU dealership legally gave Spencer Rattler 2 cars. Or buy a bunch of signed objects from players. Ewers got a 1.4 million dollar deal out of high school. The UT model is pretty nice too. But whatever the case I am glad we at least got it going. I just thought of another name I hope they invite to the group and that is W. O. Bankston.

in addition to the Hunts and Irsays we also have Ford (banks) and Sewell (cars). I would think we could build a lot NIL offers from those sources.
