Even if the target is reached, all players would get $5-7.5k a year, that's not going to be a different maker for top players anyways. And I doubt they get 50k a month without corporate sponsors.

How much is going to YOKE for their services on this? Is it a flat fee or do they take a percentage?
Thanks. I should have read the rest of the thread before posting that. I thought it was silly that someone was saying it cut out the middleman when YOKE was called out in the details of this from the start.
Here it is.
Ames NIL Club
The Ames NIL Club is a membership-based community that allows fans to support and access Iowa State student-athletes like never before.www.amesnilclub.com
That video was not very compelling.
Didn't they essentially do like 100+ of these videos? Seems like every school has these announcements today.

Honestly, a school probably has 20-30 athletes at any given time that have the name recognition to actually make money at this game, so it is for a lot more than just walk-ons IMO. I do like the idea of having a decent base given to everyone in the group.
Could the We Will Collective set up a program that would compete directly with the Yoke program? Allow people to make restricted gifts that would be shared equally among all players of a particular team, but take a much lower cut.
When you say significantly less, what % are we talking about?
I was thinking the opposite on this really. Seems like a good/easy way for the 'marketable' players to help out the 'less fortunate' players.
Feel like this is going to get awkward.
Blum's personal livelihood is contingent on getting donations to We Will.
For the players.
Who he's now in competition with, whether either side admits it or not.

There are other ways to become marketable other than athletic ability. They have the same opportunity as others just need to be a little more creative. A communistic approach seems like a horrible idea to me.
Well we haven’t completed an entire year yet and hard to know exactly what end costs will be and how much we will raise but conservatively around 7-10 percent and lower should we raise above the lowest expectations. I’ll definitely know more as we can better project. But the more we raise, the lower the percentage as the costs of the credit card processor, financial/database are fixed.
They are different. Blum only gets paid from corporate sponsors, which aren't going to contribute to this fund. It's just for fans.
Uhhhh. That's called going into business for yourself. Risk vs. Reward. Why should he or anyone else be protected upon a decision like that.
They are already on OnlyFans.com
Completely serious but it would be very profitable for some female athletes to go this route.
