Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4800967, member: 1559"] On NIL, the national players like Bryce Young and Paige Bueckers are getting NIL deals for big brands like Gatorade or Dr. Pepper which are generally not available for the vast majority of college athletes. Bueckers has appeared in TV commercials for Gatorade that I have seen. And, most of the advertising is very targeted through social media. I have seen some college athletes on frequent TV ads like Livvy Dunne, but most of Dunne's advertising is on social media like Instagram. She makes ~$40k per sponsored post. The NIL we are talking about for the football team is to get opportunities for the vast majority of the athletes through either charitable pursuits (think Bleeding Blue for Good) or through businesses. The cash is not given to athletes for doing nothing as there are obligations they need to meet. [/QUOTE]
