Per Marcus:
Imagine a day when Gophers athletes are receiving millions of dollars in name, image and likeness (NIL) payments from Minnesota's big businesses, putting them on par with peers across major college sports.
The Gophers are hoping for their own version of what the University of Memphis landed in April with a $25 million NIL contribution from FedEx.
Why not dream big on getting an NIL supercharge from among the state's 15 Fortune 500 companies?
"FedEx is a game-changer," Gophers athletics director Mark Coyle said. "There's no doubt."
Brett Schreiner is the new point person trying to help Coyle and the Gophers attract a big-business NIL investment like the one Tigers athletics scored from the Memphis-based shipping giant.

Gophers chase their NIL version of FedEx's $25 million gift to Memphis
Minnesota has a new point person working with the state's Fortune 500 companies, educating them about NIL, all in search of the next 'game changer.'
