Will the NIL work?

Getting myself ready for tomorrow's SMU vs UCF MBB game by watching ESPN Pony Express.

Days ago I posted the article about FSU's Rising Spear and UF's Gator Collective plus UCF is trying to have its own.

This reminds me exactly of the Pony Express of SMU with boosters literally paying the athlete to come to the school and meet the pay roll months by months.

The only difference is that the school can seriously do it legally nowadays.

Will the NIL work? I know NCAA is investigating Miami for its wrong NIL practices.

Also the new movie National Champions went on screen last month. The athletes are seriously asking for money to play in the NCAA.

This could become the wild and wild west. And will it work? Will the NCAA lose control and every school starts to cheat and the only difference NOW is that they can do it legally

How are we going to FIX the problem or potential problem?

Will the Pony Express work?

New cheers needed!

After spending a good deal of time watching our UCF women dominate their competition this winter/spring, it has become painfully obvious that UCF is greatly lacking in a key point of engagement for the fans and players.

We don’t have a short 3-5 second cheer. Whenever the crowd gets fired up it inevitably erupts into a disjointed U-C-F, U-C-F, U-C-F cheer that is unorganized and fades away awkwardly. I think we’re better than that and I think the fans would welcome something new.

Think about any major university. Most have several quick cheers, chants or hand signals that all the fans know and participate in. How difficult would it be for the band, cheerleaders and our athletic department leaders to come up with some fun ways for the fans to get involved with an organized cheer? Utilize Charge On! or Go Knights! or maybe even something new.

Simple cheers that are familiar not only across Knight Knation but also across college sports will only help to grow the brand. How do we make this happen?
