🤔 Should collegiate NIL agents be certified?
They're set to earn $100M+ in annual commission when rev-share hits next year.
The House settlement will govern what schools and student-athletes can do... but who is overseeing the actions of their agents?
I think you'll find tremendous value in this one.
There is a great deal of empowerment that comes from rolling up your sleeves + reading vs. skimming tweets + headlines. I ignored the outside reporting and read the 100+ page bedtime story myself.

🎮🏈EA Sports College Football is BACK.
To celebrate, we got 100+ of the most popular college football players to announce they are 'IN THE GAME'.
How'd we do it?
🪄See the magic of @Opendorse:
Awesome to see @EASPORTS promoting the game using NIL deals for college athletes AND including athletes from men’s and women’s sports across the country to do so 👏👏👏
These are an incredible resource for our NIL Collective partners.
The best run groups make data-backed decisions and there is simply no better set of first party data available on the market, period.
Huge hat-tip to @braly and partners for making this happen.
Look what just arrived in the mail 🤩
Opendorse has officially published Volume II of the NIL Books, available exclusively to partner schools, conferences + collectives.
Here is everything you need to know about them... 🧵
@opendorse works with our collective partners to ensure they have the best data & insights in #NIL based on real transactions.
Run a collective and want one?

📓NIL Books have arrived.
Last week, dozens of colleges and collectives received physical books containing annual earnings expectations for student-athletes based on 100,000+ Opendorse transactions.
🚨Why it matters
The industry deserves to know what’s real.
🧵Dive deeper
Incredibly cool activation by the group at @VarsityCltv. Times Square got the headline but bet the hometown billboards meant a lot to the incoming @BadgerFootball players.
On National Signing Day, Wisconsin made a splash by taking out a video billboard in Times Square — but it also took out billboards in the hometowns of six early enrollees
I spoke to key people @VarsityCltv to find out how/why they made the PR play @FOS https://t.co/2J7q80Iw64
All smiles as we celebrate our 1,000th NIL deal via @opendorse!!!
Creating opportunities for student-athletes is our passion, and we thank everyone who has stepped up to help us make this possible.
Let's have some fun with this. Anyone who joins the Circle on the day the new football coach is announced will be entered into a drawing with the winner receiving a signed football and $100 of Circle gear. https://t.co/GaVfNN7UIQ
There is literally no better place on 🌎 for an athlete to maximize their #NIL opps than @Opendorse.
Big shoutout from my corner of the org to our #nilcollective partners that help support so many SA's!
10,000 athletes in 2019,
100,000+ athletes today.
On average, 84.5 athletes have joined Opendorse daily since 2019.
Thank you partners, athletes, and brands for making this possible!
Cheers to the next 100,000 athletes and continuing to help every athlete from preps to pros 🎉
This type of engagement is only going to increase given the new NCAA guidelines. Expect more HC's and admins to make this case to their fans, donors and business community.
Here, Tom Allen says, among other things:
>> IU had eight players on roughly $150,000 in NIL when this season started.
>> Recently announced $1 million (up to) matching gift will help.
>> IU needs fans to engage with collectives.
>> IU will lose recruits because of NIL.
We have officially sent out 100 deals to Sun Devil student-athletes! Thank you for your continued support of our Sun Angel mission! 🥳🥳
