That is the best part on his end unless he is including some kind of official tracker. He can get all 3 fan bases to buy his card and then just go to whatever school he wants. and just say they won.I wonder if he’s actually obligated to respect this trading card thing, or he can just say I changed my mind/ flip after one year
They should have since he only officially visited us and rarely if ever does a kid choose a school they did not OV to.He may not have been a “flip” but almost nobody besides our insiders even had the thought he was coming
Here is what I do not understand. These collectives where people contribute $100. How is that possibly utilizing guys' NIL? Like what are they marketing or doing aside from pooling cash to give to recruits? Maybe this is what some schools are doing, but it seems like all of our guys who are doing bigger NIL deals need to come together in some form of an affiliation agreement and use that to get organized as far as who will give what deals and to what players. We are never going to have the economies of scale to get hundreds of thousands of alums to donate $100, so we kind of need to rely on the whales.We don’t have a collective. We are nowhere near as organized and efficient. Behind the scenes, it’s been a bit, let’s say, disorganized. I’ll leave it at that. But as long as people like Ruiz follow through, we’ll be alright in the near term. Long term, we’re going to have to build out a legit collective.
Samson’s current representation scares me. Unpredictable. His former counsel was solid and straight forward.

But what's your take on the current state of Chicago professional sports?This thread is always self-inflicted disappointment for me. I know I shouldn't even click into it, but then I do and I regret it everytime. Smh, thanks CIS.
Eh, I understand what you're saying but we are more organized than you think. We even have collectives under development that are devoted to certain kinds of spending. Won't get into it but let's just say that we are a lot more organized that you may believe. While we don't have the structure some of the other schools have, we will soon enough in the form of a few different collectives that will fund different things.
I'm so thankful I live in KC. At least I have the Chiefs and no basketball to worry about.But what's your take on the current state of Chicago professional sports?
I know the current organization very well. It was a **** show at times over the last few months. Ruiz’s kid should have no involvement, much less his buddies. Rashada’s dad played them like a fiddle and we came out looking like amateurs to folks who represent many of our recruits. This isn’t a criticism of Ruiz or the other supporters. It’s a brand new space and we’re learning. I agree regarding the future, which was my point. If they execute on those plans and build an infrastructure that includes professionals, we’ll be good.
