The most obvious is the opportunities created by the economic consequences of a commitment to athletic excellence. For example, at Notre Dame, athletic department revenue contributes significantly to the funding of a robust minority scholarship program. Also, the connection between athletic excellence and high numbers of admissions applicants has been demonstrated. Athletic excellence is, in effect, a recruiting tool for the entire student body. That’s a couple. There are more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US31 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm honestly curious how much longer "academic" requirements will need to be met for an athlete to complete. With a multimillion$ collective NIL deal, one could hire a great number of "tutors" specific to each course of study. 🤔 Might be a good trickle down effect for the smart academic kids. I think its entertaining to see the NCAA twist into pretzels trying to maintain the charade. Can't wait to see how the IHSAA is going to deal with this....there are several High School athletes across the country with big money NIL deals. Personally, I would have shillled for BWs & Papa John's gift cards🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I take it you would not be the kind of Notre Dame alum/fan/booster to help fund an NIL Collective? You could make a return on your investment.

Muda69 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 From free meals to bank commercials, nearly 100 IU athletes have NIL deals https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2022/04/05/nil-deals-iu-athletes-making-after-new-ncaa-rules-indiana-hoosiers/9454236002/ (Note: story is behind a paywall) Quote Nearly 100 IU athletes have availed themselves of rules allowing them to profit from use of their likeness since those rules became allowable under NCAA bylaws last summer. According to totals shared last month with IndyStar by IU Athletics, 92 athletes have reported a total of 173 name, image and likeness compensation arrangements, including 104 deals struck for monetary compensation. Of Indiana’s 24 sports, 17 have at least one athlete with a reported deal. Athletes have arranged those deals via a variety of means, from official channels like the department’s relationship with NIL clearinghouse Opendorse, to interactions as straightforward and retail as direct messages on social media. ... According to department figures, about half of the monetary deals reported through NIL requirements have compensated athletes $2,000 or more. The department did not specify its largest reported deals in the figures shared for this story. Non-monetary deals are largely in-kind arrangements, like an athlete promising to promote a local restaurant for free meals. The arrangements signed by IU athletes have ranged from relationships with banks, to health food brands, to restaurants and more. .. Hmm. I wonder if any of these NIL deals are with Big Red Liquor stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
