All good points. Many of us often bring up local businesses but it doesn’t seem like the University, and more specifically athletics, has had much success with this in the past. The big question for me is why would that change with the NIL collective compared to what has been done with athletic fundraising in the past?
Knowing what we know about the University as a whole, I wonder if the University will be supportive of a collective. This is now money going directly from University donors/companies to the hands of student-athletes. The school won’t be the middle man anymore, and we all know that in the past funds that were meant for athletics have sometimes been diverted elsewhere.

The question for me is has the school/athletic department tried? Whether it be lack of staff or whatever it’s hard for me to believe there weren’t willing businesses after our elite 8 run. FDU seemingly did a better job cashing in off of 1 victory in a less flush city. Perhaps Mr. O’Connell and his connections can fair better?

Gene O'Connell has established an NIL for St. Peters. He would like to organize a meeting of St. Peter's fans interested in offering their ideas on how best to develop the organization. You know, offer their two cents, or more. He is trying to generate some energy and is looking forward to hearing from you, gathering your ideas because this entire concept can't work without you. He may be reached at 201-963-3668, Tried to reach 201-963-3668 via text, but it bounced back. Any alternative contact number available? Thanks.
