Good grief. Going to be starting over here. I suspect we will be a year behind the curve on the new baseball lamdsxape with rev share and NIL and scholarship numbers. Next year might be rough.

---

I have been thinking about this some and this isn't just me trying to knock you or anyone else with the NIL/Scholarship deal but I really don't think there are that many teams doing it.

Baseball is now basically a two power confrence sport with the SEC/ACC and roughly 20-30 other solid teams each year. Out of those teams how many are actually giving guys significant NIL? LSU, Tenn, Texas, A&M can only have so many guys and as we have seen this year, it didn't help all the SEC teams.

Maybe that is Avents argument with saying he doesn't need much NIL. Of course if you have a Tommy White who has a massive season you will probably lose him, but you also don't need to blow your entire budget on him.

---

Avent has never said he doesn't need much NIL.

---

He kinda did when he turned down 1pack for setting up a meet the team/team dinner and auction event TBF

---

Did he? How do you know that? If true, why would he do that?

---

Do you think Steve or Reid lied about it? What are we doing here? lol

---

No, I don't think they lied at all. I believe that Avent did not have interest in the event, My question is, why?

I asked those guys and they said they didn't know. Which, in my opinion, if I was them, I sure as hell would want to know why the baseball coach didn't want to do an event with me to raise money for his team.

I guess I'm just saying, as a member of 1P, I don't need to know why Avent didn't want to do the thing, but I sure think they should know.

If they know and just don't want to say, for whatever reason, I respect that. But that's not what they said.

---

Do you expect them to tell you everything they know? Sometimes it's better to just say "I don't know".

---

Well, they could say "we got some feedback from coach that out of respect for him will stay between us" or "yes, we understand why but we arent at liberty to share" and that would be just fine.

If they say they "don't know" then I am going to take them at their word and believe that they do not know. They usually are pretty straight up with us here.

---

No offense intended here but they don't owe you or any of us that statement.

---

Agree. I'm paraphrasing here but the IPack folks said that there was basically zero interest from the baseball staff to do anything.

---

I think some people can't read here.

I agree with almost everything here. I believe there was zero interest, My issue is that 1P says they don't know why. If that is true, that they don't know why, or haven't bothered to ask, that's malpractice.

I disagree that they don't owe us that statement, We are their customers. We provide them the funds to operate. Again, I'm not asking why, I'm just saying that they should know why. That's all.

I think it's interesting personally, that the staff was interested in it the first year, and then all of a sudden, not interested the second year. I find it concerning that the leadership at 1P says they don't know why they decided not to do it the second year.

If Avent didnt believe in NIL, why would he have done it in the first place.

These concerns seem common sense level to me.

---

1Pack reached out, baseball had zero interest. The collective doesn't need to beg for a fund raiser, they've got a busy schedule and most work for free. It isn't their job to beg, if EA doesn't care, move on to a coach that does care about raising money. Pretty simple.
