Which only helps reinforce why us joining a West Coast based league is not a great move. It might be better than where we are if it helps translate to NCAA tourney bids...but long term we'll get less exposure out West than where we are today if we move and regress as a bball program (fail to take advantage of the extra bid potential).
Me and my girlfriend have a lot of student debt and are both unfortunately unemployed at the moment (she is soon to be teaching part time this summer) so we don't have a lot of expendable income to donate to NIL. I thought it would be fun to start a list of grassroots ideas for raising money for NIL at UNT.
1 - Car Washes - we could have players and coaches out there holding signs and offering to wash cars down on eagle drive or other busy traffic spots
2 - Raffles. UTSA is evidently doing this a lot and we could also benefit from them. Everyone enjoys winning a chance to go down the tunnel with the team and ride on the team plane and whatnot.
3 - Bake sales - We could get some of the cheerleaders and have a big bake sale weekend and sell everything at a football or basketball tailgate.
4 - Create a UNT NIL beer that 50% of the proceeds go to the NIL
These are just a few of my ideas. I would be interested to hear if you all have more.
This has been going on for awhile,
