[QUOTE="DReq, post: 1899834, member: 11449"] I agree that the big players will put their money wherever they want. For the rest of us it would be nice if a collective acted like it cared about the little guys. I am not big player by any stretch but would love to put some money into the pot. I just want the feeling that the collective has some intent to be open about the things they can be. If it is all a big secret I feel like I am just tossing money into the air and hoping it comes down where it will do some good. I have no reason to trust the existing collective to do that. Even ICON seems to seek the big donor and while I appreciate their gifts to non-profits I still have the feeling that they are focussed on the big dollar folks. I guess I will wait to see if either collective fits the bill of "making it easier for the little guys to band together" as you suggest. I know there is a limit to what the collectives can disclose but year-old information about the activities of the collective is a bit too close to the vest. I am also not above having a billionaire buy a team (as selected by the coaches) for Illinois. It has worked for many years at certain institutions long before NIL. [/QUOTE]
