Clemson is the first school to construct a building that is dedicated to development of NIL activity. It will not be the last. NIL is here to stay. Congrats to Clemson for doing what it can to make a chaotic situation into something that is more organized and that help the student-athlete. As always, Clemson’s leadership is the best in the business. The founder of Clemson was smart when he made sure the majority of the makeup of the Board of Trustees was not controlled by politicians in Columbia.apaladin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 2:25 pmStands for Clempson Athlete Branding.

In reality this is where all athletes, not just fb will go each week to pick up their weekly cash payout.
Agreed - and here is an article bragging about how CU will, via highly-structured organizations, enable CU supporters to utilize the NIL process to pool their cash and funnel it via NIL ‘opportunities’ to directly, and ‘legally,’ BUY (really only rent) the best Players for their Tigers.Roundball wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 5:38 amI understand this is the first school to do this.

Yep…this budding athlete offspring of 2 former Texas A&M Aggie athletes decided to commit early to his parents’ rival as the 7 figure NIL opportunities offered by the LittlestLonghorns Foundation amounted to an offer he just couldn’t refu$e…Roundball wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 9:21 amHigh School players are getting paid too.

Texas Longhorns, and others, are already way ahead of FUBeAR’s 2nd alma mater on this…which is why you see them using the ‘allow Clemson to be more competitive’ language in this article.
Yep - the ‘whose lunatic fans are willing to spend the most to rent the best humans to enable them to watch their preferred colors of laundry & logo win games’ arms race is on in full force.
Sustainable? We’ll see.
Either way, the Gods of Collegiate Athletics drive another nail into the Fandom Coffin of FUBeAR each time he reads another article like this.
The schools are not paying the athletes. If the women’s player wants to sue the companies paying the QB, go for it. Keep in mind though, there are many women athletes that have already signed huge NIL deals.
LOL - many of these NIL ‘deals’ are equivalent, or at least similar, to “structured transactions” (Think Marty & Wendy Byrd of Ozark fame https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/s ... action.asp). These schools aren’t the ones writing the checks DIRECTLY to the Student Athletes/Employees, but they are receiving the real benefit of the transaction and will be found to have compensated other ‘involved parties’ for playing their various roles along the money trail.
