Hey all, wanted to share a quick update with you all as we’re in an important phase in the portal/NIL world. We Will has been making progress behind the scenes. We have signed a deal with Learfield to be an official sponsor of Cyclone Athletics, which means we are able to advertise at the games and will be featured this Saturday on the video board with a message from Coach Campbell. Also, We Will is close to launching a subscription service called the We Will Club, that is separate of the non-profit effort that will allow fans access to exclusive merchandise, autographs, live events, etc for a monthly subscription. We are partnering with CF on some town hall and subscriber exclusive content as well.

As part of the We Will Club, we are working with 6-10 priority Football players that will be part of the Marketing efforts and the response from those priority players has been very positive. The hope is by being proactive with these players, that will mean good things once the portal season begins. You will be hearing a lot more in the next week or two. But your support and telling your friends about our efforts is certainly appreciated!

Thanks for all you are doing on this, Brent.

How that reads almost feels like we are gearing up for "free agency" which I know is the new reality, but will be interested to see how this all pans out across college fb this off season (as last year was the wild west)

If you can't share it's fine, but do the coaches/staff share with We Will who they think needs extra incentive to stay or is that just We Will identifying?

Find a trucking company with deep pockets that will sponsor the offensive line. A new line that is. Thanks for all your work!
 
Ruan is based in Des Moines. Heartland Express is based in Iowa City. TMC Transportation is based in Des Moines. You might be onto something.
You missed the obvious one - Jacobson industries. Founded by Iowa native, based in Iowa, and has previously been very generous with donations to Iowa state (Richard o Jacobson building for example) and across the state (Jacobson exhibition center at state fair, Jacobson elementary in Belmond, ...)

We have former football and basketball players on the board that make very well informed and educated decisions.

I read it just as "these are the 6-10 best players on the team, and we are trying to make sure they have little incentive to be lured elsewhere"

How does membership in the We Will Club relate to Premium membership on CF? Is there any overlap in benefits?
Some small overlap in that the town hall virtual events and VIP functions will include both We Will Club members (at a certain subscription level) and CF premium but most of our We Will benefits will be exclusive merchandise, autographs, events with players, etc. On the upper end will be in-person quarterly meetings with VIP coaching staff members.
