NIL partnership with Ottertail County

[GophersInIowa]

I’m sure you’ve seen the past few years players going up to Ottertail County to go fishing.

Thought this was extra cool. A fun little partnership they’ve got. The county twitter page posts a lot of Gopher related stuff.

This is one of the many reasons I love PJ. Now way would any players from the Blue Blood schools would do this.

That is sooo cool...and so Minnesotan!

Badger recruits, Hawkeye recruits, Cyclone recruits, SEC recruits all stopped scrolling when this came in their feed.

"The Gopher players got to do what?!"

GoGophers!

What does PJ have to do with it? The players are getting paid to do this.

Not saying they aren't, but these plunges are typically charity events.

Dumb. Almost all schools have things like this that players are involved in.

Ottertail County does a phenomenal job supporting Gopher athletics. If you are planning any in-state vacations, I hope you consider adding Ottertail to your itinerary.

Our guys apparently have to do promotional activities for NIL in the way it was intended to be

Other schools it seems to just be checks for using your likeness in a football uniform on Saturday

Certainly looks that way in the photo.....not sure that is great choice on his part but not surprising either.

Right! That will sting a little.

Not always but there have been a fair number of meet and greets as well when they bring athletes up. My kids enjoy those. And the athletes truly seem to be enjoying themselves.

I know the gentleman well who runs this and yes they hope to expand tourism to the area. But they are also trying to recruit these young adults or anyone else interested to the County to live, work, and play being the real motivator.
