Andre Jackson’s NIL Event Invitation

[Luna]

My wife and I have a Christmas party on that date..or we would be there… me wearing my Andre Jackson sweatshirt… but we will check out the Red Fox Restaurant this weekend… always want to support businesses that support uconn athletes

 

[Ricker]

Made reservation for 3. Worth the drive from New Hampshire to meet Andre-Chief-and other Boneyarders. I'll throw in a visit to Golfers Warehouse and do a bit of Xmas shopping. We don't actually have significant shopping within an hour of me up here so I have to do this once a year anyway. A great excuse to do it the 15th, but let me know if his schedule changes.

Does anyone know the proper channel for typical NIL partnerships with UConn athletes?

I’ve tried reaching out to Mark D’Amelio’s group and haven’t heard anything back. My company wants to set up a partnership with a male and female from the hoops teams.

Any insight would be appreciated.

We just did an NIL partnership with Jace and Jett Howard from U Michigan and want to replicate it with UConn.

My cheap arse friend wants to know if this event is free and if you can you drink water at the bar?

Geesh, pony up for a drink, at least. The owner is supporting the program and Andre. It seems like buying a top shelf drink is the minimum that you could do.

 

[Chief00]

just made my reservation and ordered some gear from NIL site that was posted on BY the other day.

Thanks for doing that. It should be a fun time.

I can absolutely vouch for the food here. It's one of my secret spots so don't ruin the place. Great bar/wine selection.

 

[Chief00]

I'm in + 3 -- made dinner reservations and gonna bring our 15-month-old for his first autograph opportunity. I'll vouch for Red Fox for anyone who hasn't been, happens to be very close to our house and is a regular spot for us.

Thanks for stepping up. I expect you will have a great time. And good idea - start them young as MBB fans.

Wonderful, thanks for making the out of state Road Trip effort

Event is free, but you pay for your own drinks and dinner.

Have your friend bend over and Andre sign it. His arse won't be cheap any longer!

Not sure if this helps but this was posted posted the other day:

A high flyer like AJ should have an Avelo airlines deal.

Good idea!

 

[Umami Zen]

Hope to see you next Thursday @Umami Zen. Andre is a great guy and represents the program well.

Would like to chill with you and Andre.. From a BY perspective.. Would probably only come if I could meet @Get a Job and @formerlurker face-to-face and catch a ride from the Valley with @husky429 or @Husky 99

Yes, so now I am picturing a Velo wrapping it’s planes with a picture of Andre dunking.

 

[formerlurker]

I'll be out of town but I wish nothing but success for Andre and this event.

I'm in if you assure me I can talk to you and @Chief00 in the same place at the same time

Chief could easily pay someone to pretend to be Umami Zen for a couple hours

Seems like an OK event. I hope Andre makes some $$. He's dedicated his life to basketball and provides us solid entertainment. Let me know if the restaurant tour makes it to Fargo

Anyone know how he's making money if it's a free event?

 

[Get a Job]

Anyone know how he's making money if it's a free event?

I assume he gets a flat fee from the owner and the owner hopes to recoup that fee plus more in increased business.

 

[Rico444]

I would imagine the owner of the restaurant is paying him to come, with the increased foot traffic bringing in more business for the restaurant. Win win.

I wish I was in CT- I’d go in a second to support that young man! Someone needs to explain what is ok and what is not ok as far as NIL is concerned. Is there a way to support them from out of state without winding up with 10 UCONN jerseys?

Great question. I live in Boston, but if I still lived in Storrs I would be there in a New York minute (my origin is from NYC, had to throw that expression in there).

Anyone please answer. I would love to support UConn NIL

Do they have urinals at the restaurant?

Out back.
