Schools like VCU that play DI ๐ and donโt have ๐ teams (or donโt have FBS ๐ teams), are going to have a big advantage in paying their ๐ players post-House.
Theyโll be able to use a larger amount of their $20M cap to pay ๐ players than schools using $15M of their cap for ๐.
Yesterday, Cardinal student-athletes learned the power of personal branding and social media partnerships. Huge thank you to @sambgreen for sharing insights to help our athletes excel beyond the game! #GoCards

๐ฐWashington Post NIL Data vs
๐ชOpendorse NIL Data
@PostSports did a deep dive into NIL disclosure data and I wanted to see how it compares to the @Opendorse dataset... (the 3rd stat comparison is my favorite)

Star South Carolina freshman football player Dylan Stewart is working on a new NIL deal that will keep him at the school next season.
Itโs expected to be a one year deal worth more than $1M.
College footballโs annual free agency season is starting to heat up.
Really excited to finally be putting together an NIL certificate program for coaches! I bought https://t.co/NuJzIHBlqM a couple of years ago, knowing coaches needed more education both to help their athletes and to land their next job. Sign up on https://t.co/NuJzIHBlqM now if you want to be notified when the program becomes available!
The NCAA no longer has any real power or authority over college athletics.
That power lies with conferences.
The SEC and Big Ten specifically.
And as Ross notes, theyโre now governing and operating professional sports leagues.
This is basically a high interest, payday loan for college and high school athletes.
Get cash now in return for giving up a percentage of later NIL earnings, including payments from collectives.
Athletes should think long and hard before deciding to do this.
Last week, Oklahoma St announced itโs holding the first concert ever at Boone Pickens Stadium, to raise NIL funds.
It๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝs been a huge success.
Four shows have sold out.
A reported $3.2-$3.5M in NIL funds has been raised.
Murray State didnโt have an #NIL plan when its current AD got there.
So he met with community leaders to get a collective formed.
This is a good example of an AD embracing change and making it clear to donors and supporters why they need to do the same.

Arkansasโs head ๐ coach believes large discrepancies in amounts of #NIL compensation players were receiving last year affected team chemistry.
He thinks rev-sharing will help solve that.
Teams will need to figure out the best way to distribute the money to avoid this issue.
Big 12 presidents would be crazy not to invite UConn into the league.
In the new world of college athletics, the UConn menโs and womenโs basketball programs have a ton of value.
