ARod and The Rock need to jump in.

 

[U Know]

****, this would've been perfect for guys like Yearby and Bandy.

For any of you pro wrasslin' fans- check out the WWE Most Wanted Treasures show episode featuring Booker T. This Dan Lambert dude appears in it as he has a phenomenal championship belt collection.

Dan Lambert, owner of elite MMA gym American Top Team, just announced that he is committing $540k a year ($500 a month for each scholarship player) to advertise for his team and products. This is a groundbreaking deal.

He is also starting the Bring Back the U foundation to encourage and organize further investment from the local community. Kendrick Norton will be running the foundation with Lambert and UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal will act as brand ambassador.

I have to imagine that it can be used as a recruiting tool for ATT for those guys whose football career ends after UM. Great career alternative.

This is cool to set the pace, but it’s hard to imagine the scaling of this idea when the bag schools start getting their donor’s companies involved. We have to keep evolving

Way to **** on Jai Alai, bro.

Let’s bring home that 6th MF rang!

Great to see locals in the Miami, actually back the athletics.
From what I read on here (which I know is limited) it seems UM is seen a bit out of touch with the rest of the general public in Miami!

Hopefully this keep rolling! One poster said this in a another post, people within America can point to Tuscaloosa, but everyone around the world can point to Miami on a map. I'm one of those people and I have a degree in Geography! I only know Tuscaloosa is in Alabama cause of CFB!

 

[Suhrthing]

100% going to happen

Yep. Cobra effect.

Will be entertaining to see how its goes though.

 

[Bender]

Nice to see Kendrick Norton getting involved.

 

[Gi0logy]

Fast forward 12 months from now and you'll probably see some crazy stupid deals come out similar to this. Great to see us leading here but these are still early days. No way The Rock and/or ARod don't figure out a way to get involved.

This will become an arms race until NCAA probably steps back in to regulate.

 

[Bender]

To be honest, I am surprised that a bigger state progrm didnt come up with this and Miami is the first university to get such a deal within the first weeks of the NIL existing.

Generally, Miami and its players are a step ahead in this area at this point. They look very prepared.

 

[TC@ne]

Hard to find a community doing more to help its flagship program the way Miami is for the Hurricanes right now. This is awesome.

Brilliant. Love it,

If this turns into which program has the richest alumni base to do this we are absolutely fcked

So are all the other “bag” schools. I'm pretty sure Alabama doesn't have the wealthiest alumni base either.

Time for Harvard and Yale to get back to winning nattys.

There is a Latin Billionaire who has always wanted to buy the Heat or Dolphins. I think he's a UM fan too. Not sure I might be a little Baked right now. Haha

Fordham should be up there too.
