Congrats Bryce! 🎉 🍾

Schools like VCU that play DI 🏀 and don’t have 🏈 teams (or don’t have FBS 🏈 teams), are going to have a big advantage in paying their 🏀 players post-House.

They’ll be able to use a larger amount of their $20M cap to pay 🏀 players than schools using $15M of their cap for 🏈.

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

New book.

Only a few chapters in, but would recommend for those in college sports.

🔎 Inside "The Hidden NIL Economy"

📰Washington Post NIL Data vs
🚪Opendorse 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)

Michigan Athletics has partnered with Passes, a direct-to-fan engagement and monetization platform.

Through Passes, Michigan student-athletes will be able to sell exclusive content and merchandise.

Star South Carolina freshman football player Dylan Stewart is working on a new NIL deal that will keep him at the school next season.

It’s expected to be a one year deal worth more than $1M.

College football’s 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, they’re 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 it’s holding the first concert ever at Boone Pickens Stadium, to raise NIL funds.

It��s been a huge success.

Four shows have sold out.

A reported $3.2-$3.5M in NIL funds has been raised.

Nico's 314 first-half passing yards are a program record for a half

Pat McAfee and his former teammates are donating $1M to West Virginia’s NIL collective.

Murray State didn’t 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.

Arkansas’s head 🏈 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 men’s and women’s basketball programs have a ton of value.
