We are joined by UGA football legend Aaron Murray who gives us the insight into NIL, what it means to current players, what his thoughts were about paying players during his playing days and his new Players Lounge NFT.

We also talk about Stetson Bennett, why Murray likes Arch Manning and how he could try to help the 5-star come to UGA, and why this year's national championship, and beating Alabama, was important for Murray.

We also toss him the question about Jimbo and Saban and he gives us his take on the brouhaha boiling between the two powerhouse coaches.

Former UGA quarterback Aaron Murray joins the podcast to chat about his new venture, The Players' Lounge. This NFT community was built by lettermen to empower relationships within the collegiate sports community through connecting current and former athletes with their respective fan bases while providing opportunities for student-athletes to monetize their individual brands.

Aaron joined the podcast back in January to talk with us ahead of their first NFT launch. That launch ended up generating $305,000 for the student athletes involved, a total of $28,000 each. 

Now Aaron is back to tell us how they've expanded their concept beyond NFTs and taken it beyond UGA to other schools.

We discuss:

• How The Players' Lounge got started
• The ways in which college athletes are engaging more with fans
• How NFT drops are translating to in-person events
• Their relationship with the UGA athletic department
• The pursuit of licensing agreements
• Expanding the model to additional universities
• Big picture goals for the future

You can follow The Players' Lounge on social media: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook

Former UGA football players Ty Frix, Keith Marshall and Aaron Murray, along with Ty’s brother Trent Frix, recently created The Players’ Lounge, a digital collaborative space for college fanbases, with the University of Georgia as its initial focus. 

In addition to using a Discord channel to connect fans, the group will launch an NFT collection called DGD Mafia on Sunday, January 9 to benefit current UGA football players.

Those who purchase the NFTs will also gain access to exclusive content and experiences, both within The Players’ Lounge and also in physical locations. Fifty percent of all profits will go to current UGA football players who will leverage their name, image and likeness to help promote the NFT launch.

I recently sat down to speak with Ty Frix and Murray about this creative new approach that leverages the platform of former UGA players to benefit current student athletes. In this podcast, you can eavesdrop on our conversation about their plans and why they felt compelled to create something that benefits current student athletes after their own experience as players.

We also discussed how this model could be duplicated for other schools and fanbases, which I think makes it an intriguing listen for all college athletic admins and fans.
