Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has become a popular topic of discussion lately. The article below shares the impact NIL has on college football programs. All collegiate athletes, programs, and families will be impacted by the shift in the monetization of their Name, Image and Likeness. To learn more about NIL, read here:

Big happenings in college athletics with the $2.7 BILLION settlement... There are a couple questions that, after reading this article, I'd love anyone's opinion on... 1. Without this settlement does it really bankrupt college athletics? It would bankrupt the NCAA but isn't college athletics based on the blood, sweat and sacrifices the ATHLETES make? 2. Did NIL and now revenue sharing really destabilize the college sports industry? Viewership of the CFP was up 4%, Men's march madness up 5% with 14.4 million viewers, Women's March Madness had 4 million viewers MORE than men's with 18.4 million and the Wisconsin vs Nebraska women's volleyball game had 612,000 viewers on a Saturday while Nebraska football had 500,000. It seems like since #NIL all sports are up, especially women's... 3. Does NIL actually need fixing? We are told by the NCAA and hyped by the media that NIL needs fixing. The same organization that were told their way of "governing" was wrong, the same organization that imposes sanctions for buying a recruit a cheeseburger and many other rules. Could it be that the way college athletics was run is on life support and struggling to stay relevant. Is it possible that the innovation that was resisted for so long by the powers that be is actually in the best interest of college athletes. I'm glad to see the forward progress, revenue sharing and empowerment of athletes to fully leverage their platform. It will be interesting to see how the fight for control continues... #ncaa #nil #playerdevelopment Success Beyond Game Day in Partnership with A Must Win Cheney Robinson, PhD Samantha Card NIL Undressed Podcast

Here is part 2 on how sports betting can impact the mental health of student athletes. This blog focuses on the preventative measures an athletic program can take to limit the amount of impact of an already surging betting problem in college athletics. Happy to have worked on this two part series with Emanuel McGirt, Jr. from the NCAA. Would love to hear thoughts below. https://lnkd.in/egp96kzQ

A lot of people are talking about expanding the NCAA tournament field. A big reason college football is so popular is that every game of the season matters towards who competes for the championship. The easier you make it for teams to compete in March Madness, the less the regular season matters. I get that more games equal more revenue, but it would be nice to see college basketball look at an in-season tournament concept like the National Basketball Association (NBA). As it currently stands, the selection committee is comparing leagues based on non-conference play that occurs prior to a lot of teams rounding into their best form. If there were a series of in-season cross-conference tournaments in January, it might create the added revenue the schools are hoping for while also giving the selection committee a better view of who the strongest leagues and teams are when it comes time to select for March Madness. I’m sure the television companies wouldn’t mind the added viewers during the regular season either…
