Publicly, we could not send that email until about a week ago. However, behind the scenes, who knows.I'm fascinated by the timing of events that led to an email from Bracky Brett promoting the NIL. Did Cohen choose not to promote it, or did he just not think to do so? Was the email from Bracky prompted by pressure from the national media?
Maybe he is campaigning for the job.********Publicly, we could not send that email until about a week ago. However, behind the scenes, who knows.
We're in a day and time when political correctness has kept a lot of people at least "muffled" on some things. John Cohen was a detriment to MSU the last several years in many ways. His being there put a bad taste in the mouth of many but they never vented their reason because the didn't want to get "involved". We just need to make a good hire and put him in the past.So what is the narrative here?
Cohen was so universally loathed that huge numbers of our fans refused to give anything until he was gone?
Athletic department outreach got 200% more effective in 24 hours at letting people know where / how to send money? (This seems a little unlikely)
Fans saw Cohen leaving as a wake up call for NIL importance, and decided to get more involved?
None of those by themselves seems likely to be responsible for a $500k windfall in a day….I’m assuming its a combo of all 3.
It’s a combination of things. The Dellenger article made people aware of NIL/BI, people are starting to realize its here to stay and how important it is, and most of all, people generally come out firing when they feel someone has taken a shot at them.So what is the narrative here?

Facts, I’m in multiple MSU text groups and I can’t tell you how many times this has been mentioned in the past.We're in a day and time when political correctness has kept a lot of people at least "muffled" on some things.

I read where Bracky plans to retire in June, so no way he’s campaigning for the job
Nice. Bracky's retiring after it's okay to pay players.**
Wild The takes that former AD John Cohen was bad at NIL and fundraising need to end***
