It looks like the VT athletic department is going to work to embrace NIL opportunities for our athletes.
Very glad to see this.

Waiting for the next Michael Vick to get locked into an NIL deal for Blacksburg Proctology Associates...
So when are we starting TKP Dork Magic Player's fund?
Paying for an AMA is perfectly inside the rules of NIL.
So can we get a between two ferns like comedic interview with Fifth Fuller as the interviewer?
I'm sure we could if we paid enough.
I signed up. Currently there's only 22 athletes (across all sports) registered.
So can we still pay them in hardees coupons or is that not an acceptable currency in the exchange?
On a serious note does this mean say TKP could pay to do an article on an athlete etc?
My guess is Joes is probably going to need a few more TKPC members before we can start thinking about that.
