Andre Jackson’s NIL Event Invitation

[Northbound]

May make the trip from the Albany area.

 

[Huuuusky]

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

Check out Bleeding Blue for Good
It's the new UConn NIL Collective just launched.

Th

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

Thank you.

Wonderful, his family may be coming too from that same area.

 

[Conndog]

Man, wish I could go- have fun!

So cool that his family gets to be there and see how much UConn fans love this kid.

 

[GlastonTim]

Will be there with my wife.

 

[HHusky]

Wish I could be there, but I have moved to FL. It's a great restaurant too. All the best to AJ and his fans.

 

[Chief00]

Will be there with my wife.

Thanks for coming. Should be a good time.

So how's this for hypothetical question. I'm at the restaurant and or the bar and I run into Andre and I want a special picture in front of whatever. So I enjoy my 2 minutes of speaking with Andre and I want to thank him for his time.

Can I pay him $1,000 for said picture without it being a problem or does everything have to go through that NIL foundation thingamajig.

I mean down south they've been doing that for years without the NIL. Where does the line have to be drawn?

There are 2 themes that govern this... 1. Needs to be a "market rate" for a service provided and 2. It should be logged w Uconn for NIL compliance

1. You could certainly argue 1,000 falls within the real of market rate
2. I believe the obligation to disclose falls on Andre and his agent, but not entirely clear

@ UConn all NIL activity has to go through their Compliance.

I know a lot of folks from Amsterdam HS atheltics - FB, Bb (B/G), lacrosse. Best place in Section 2 to see a HS football game bar none.

I know he went to academy and a friend of mine kids were there st the same time, but they were hockey players.

If Andre stayed at AHS with the kid who ended up at CBA AHS would have had a legit shot at a state title.

But i digress, I’m not from Amsterdam, but am happy for anyone from there that has success. Hope i can make it down.

 

[Scrutineer]

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

Or a fast moving BREEZE.

We love him here in South Carolina too and I'm doing my best to convert some friends to UConn fans.
Hoping to see a big turnout at the Myrtle Beach Bowl!

Capitol District growing up so oh yeah that’s extra for me. Kirk Douglas’s childhood stomping grounds.

bump - any more boneyarders in?
Andre 3.7 to 1 assists to turnovers so far
Needs an 'assist' from yarders

I would assume in this instance that the restaurant has paid him to be there to take pictures with you. And then you are paying the restaurant for the privilege by being a steak.

I'd have actually liked to attend this, but don't roll into CT until Friday.

Please do your best to not upset Andre

Wow - that’s a great ratio. Very efficient and that and shooting were the two things he needed to work on.

 

[Chief00]

I’m there.

Thanks for coming. People can swing by too after other less fun obligations.

 

[Chief00]

I’m there.

Expecting 6 from Andre’s family tomorrow. No formal program, just a lot of socializing and informal access to one of our captains and stars.
