Thought would be a good idea to start a thread brainstorming nil opportunities for our student athletes to make money. If you have a good sponsorship idea post it below. This would be a good project for business school students to work with athletes on. Working as a team to learn hands on and make money.

Could even have other schools work on it besides business school. Have art students make the video or art for the ad. Music students make the music. Engineers make some new product that can be advertised. Nature students could make some ad to visit parks or info ad on simple ways how to help environment. Business students work on finances or marketing or the deal. Could even do ads for bands or something at bars or party’s.

Don’t have any great ideas myself but I’ll start with canoe rentals at shrouds run.

Will post this in general discussion thread as well

How about the Ohio Health Urology Group, since we just p*ssed away our chances for a MAC championship.

Quidel has a major plant in Athens, and a lot of R&D is done here. Among their major products are rapid diagnostic tests for various infectious diseases, including Covid-19. These are not at-home tests, but ones that require the use of their propriety machines, which thanks to Covid-19 has a greatly expanded user base in hospitals and clinics all over the nation. They were the among the first to get an emergency authorization for their rapid Covid-19 test, and that helped them sell many more of their machines.

Since their advertising is not aimed at the general public, but hospital and clinic executives and doctors, they could feature some OHIO athletes proclaiming the value of rapid diagnostic tests. For a football-related one, perhaps a line like this:

"In my sport as a running back it's very important to be fast and make accurate cuts. This gives my team the winning edge. Quidel understands the need for speed and accuracy also. Their rapid diagnostic kits for infectious diseases will give your hospital or clinic the accuracy and speed that'll make them a winner with your patients."

This is a rough draft that would need a lot of further editing, but I would think it might be something that would work.

Good one! That gives me an idea for another one but instead of people health could do like a pet store healthy formula one. https://twitter.com/ohiou/status/1717626834244730920?s=46... This cat 🐈 is pretty famous around campus it sits in a window on court street, forget what building, but an athlete could do an ad where it’s like I need to eat the best food to be the best bobcat,, and so does your cat. Then advertise for some pet food premium blend for cats. Could shoot a commercial with this cat in it and have a line like. The official food for cats everywhere
