Hey guys, it's Jeremy Warner, a lot of Inquirer publisher.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, and thank you to all of our great VIP members,

our podcast listeners, our YouTubers.

We appreciate you a lot.

But the lifeblood of all of this is our VIP memberships, the 5,000 plus of you.

We cannot thank you enough for your support that allows us to operate the way

that we do to hire good employees like Joey Wagner, Derek Piper, and everybody else. And to do this

for a living, to travel with the Alina and cover the team the way we think your team should be

covered. And right now, if you are not a VIP member, I suggest you do because it is the best deal of the year, our Black Friday sale, 75% off your first year of a VIP membership to Alina Inquirer.

That is more than $90 of savings.

So for just $7 a day, $0.52 a week, and $2.24 a month, $27 for the entire year. You can get the best

Alainai coverage there is. So I encourage you, sign up right now at alinaenquire.com. We have the

links all up there for you to see for a VIP membership. Thank you all. Happy Thanksgiving,

and let's get to the podcast.

Today on the On Inquirer podcast, we talk about one of the predominant topics in college athletics, N-I-L.

Kathleen Knight, she's the CEO of the Icon Collective, the preferred O'I-N-I-Colective, now the only Al-I-Ni Collective.

It is an important time of year and a very busy time of year for Kathleen Knight as Illinois football has some big draft decisions coming up.

Isaiah Williams, Seth Coleman.

Keith Randolph and Johnny Newton both said today to Joy Wagner that they will enter the draft.

But this is an important time of year for that.

Plus you have the transfer portal opening up.

You want to retain your players.
