NIL act passed - NCAA allows athletes to monetise their name, image, likeness

New rules make star college football players millionaires

Glance around the parking lot of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center at The Ohio State University this fall and you might come across a $200,000 palace on wheels, the kind of luxury ride more likely to be found in the garages of movie stars, music moguls and titans of business than on a college campus.

If we can’t muster deals for players via an NIL collective, we may as well just shut down football.

How’d that work out. Total blowout and this is what he got.

You missed his kickoff return. . Seems like his role is similar to KD Nixon’s role when he made the move.

This was dumb at the time, but it's dumber now. He's tied for fourth on the team in catches, is a starter, and one of those guys y'all thought was so much better than him already hit the transfer portal.

Wonder if this is what our boy Jerdough was talking about. Probably not, since it’s B4L, but this should probably be the main collective for CU as it’s almost assuredly going to be the biggest

Who has funded this? Does it have a couple of big sponsors? Or is this a simple crowdsourcing effort?

No idea, but B4L is the biggest organization dedicated to CU athletics.

Board members include Sean Tufts, Gary Barnett, Pat Devenny, and Lance Carl among others from other sports.

It looks like 15% goes to B4L.

That’s great. Hope Lance gives 250K and each Board member matches.

Yeah, since B4L is already a non profit reliant on donations, I imagine they don’t want to have the NIL collective completely take donations away from their initial and primary mission.

One thing with B4L is they’ll have the pull with large donors since they are backed by the biggest names at CU

I hope they have roped in our @jizzrag85 friend who is good for $60 a win.

I donated to the Boulder NIL collective in hopes of getting an autograph from Coop Clair and apparently he never made it on campus? How do I get my money back?

I think he went straight to the pros

Clark Evans NLI deal continues to pay dividends to its shareholders!

If Rick can survive on a meager 50k/month salary, he can kick in the other 50k/month to get this thing rolling

Basically tied for 5th…with their running back.

“T-4th on the team in catches/starter/etc”… while that may be true, he has 16 receptions for 187 yards and 0 TDs. Arias for comparison has 19/309/1 and he’s terrible.

Rice chose to go be a JAG on a good team rather than the best player on a ****ty team. I don’t begrudge him for it, but let’s not act like he made a good decision from a production/involvement standpoint with that kind of stat line

Every response to that post is about getting rid of Phil and fixing the transfer rules

To me, it's the only way to climb out of this ****ing abyss. Getting coaches and players is a given of course. Like it or hate it, this is the way it is now. Until NIL is up to par, we are just burying ourselves deeper.
