NIL friendly player t-shirt

Pretty sure mden has that

Can you post a link to the tshirts for players? I want to mden and they have 6000 shirts. Is there a section that has it?
September 20th, 2021 at 8:35 AM ^
I think it’ll be any shirt that has the player’s name on it.
September 20th, 2021 at 11:37 AM ^
Well I went to Mden and it seems like all the shirts in the t-shirt section only have the name Jordan. I like the name Jordan, but I want some more current, like Ronnie, Blake or Aidan.

The Player’s Trunk has a couple. Dickinson and Brooks both have shirts. Not sure if any football players have anything though.

I haven’t seen anything announced for Corum besides the Yoke Gaming thing that came out as soon as NIL was permitted.
you can get a custom jersey from MDen and choose current student athletes and he gets a cut of his jersey sales as do most of the players.

Real question: can we just start gofundme campaigns to directly give to players? I'd donate to that.
Also, it's nice to have Michigan shirts, so it's not like this usurps the question being asked in this thread. But if the goal is to give money to players, gofundme campaigns would be way more effective than buying a shirt.

To you first question, my first hunch is that would be a big no-no. Even with the NIL coming into favor, they probably regulate and monitor it like crazy. Of course, the IRS gets to take their cut also.

The whole point of NIL is to allow the players to be compensated for the use of their Name, Image and Likeness (get it, NIL?) They’re not being paid for the sake of being paid. They’re using their popularity to promote/advertise products, restaurants etc. and being compensated for it.
Just giving them money is still against the rules.
September 20th, 2021 at 9:47 AM ^
But what if I'm donating because I like their name image and likeness?

The NCAA is going to characterize it as a gift.
You need to structure it as a commercial transaction because the rules only permit players to earn compensation in exchange for the commercial use of their identity. The commercial use needs to be reasonable in consideration of the amount paid, otherwise the alarm bells are going to start going off with the authorities. In other words, paying Corum $200,000 to make a single Instagram post saying "Darker Blue's Carwash is the best carwash in town!" is almost certainly not going to fly w/ the NCAA or the IRS.

You could probably do it indirectly. Have people donate to a gofundme, then offer up the collected amount to the player for a 5 second Cameo that they just say "Thanks MGoBlog readers"

No, but I think if someone were to start a "company" that pooled money from fans and that "company" gave money to players for a "promotion" then it would be fine. Anyone who has been paying attention to what other schools are doing knows that no one is following the rules and it's just pay for play

I agree. I want to get as high of a % of my money directly to the athlete. I reached out to Sydney Sims - Director of Strategic Communications and Branding at U of M but no response hoping for some information.
I understand the University is not directly involved but was hoping for some kind of response, but no go.
September 20th, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^
No. That would still be an impermissible gift under the NCAA rules.
September 20th, 2021 at 10:50 AM ^
Some of the UM basketball players are on Cameo but I’m honestly shocked more of the football players aren’t.

Available at the M-Den:
Jordan University of Michigan Football Navy Custom Game Jersey
MDEN'S DISCLAIMER: "ONLY CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMES LISTED ABOVE CAN CURRENTLY BE DONE BY CUSTOM JERSEY. FORMER PLAYER NAME AND NUMBER COMBINATIONS CANNOT BE DONE."
Who would get the proceeds from a "HART BUT FAST" jersey?

I need a customized Blake Corum t shirt to become available.
