[QUOTE="gtchem05, post: 848334, member: 4592"] Take the Gibbs situation for example: What if some wealthy Tech alum and business owner offered Gibbs a great NIL deal and he withdrew his name from the portal? I know that's unlikely, but it would certainly be unprecedented. It would be like an NFL player holding out from preseason camp to get a better contract. It probably won't happen with Gibbs, but something like this is going to happen for some program at some point. When it does, players will see their true bargaining power, and boosters will have to organize in order to keep up. This will be the new arms race. Rather than seeing more $15 million dollar coaches, we will start seeing more $100K players and beyond. I agree, at Tech we need to organize in order to funnel a larger percentage of our financial contributions directly to the players (legally of course). I think it's going to take business owners and entrepreneurs to lead the charge on this. Fortunately, there is a significant portion of Tech alumni and supporters who fit this description. I'm not one of those - happily employed by a large organization - but would be more than willing to strategically patronize the businesses of fellow Tech fans who are supporting student-athletes through NIL.
