I don’t think NIL has ever come up at the BoT. From what I understand trustees know very little about how this all works unless they’re personally involved and I don’t think any are. That's part of the problem. This should have been a university focus in terms of finding businesses (or high net worth individuals with businesses) to fund a collective. We haven’t dedicated resources or attention to it. It was all “we have a small fundraising team and in addition to raising money for the general AD funds, we now need them to do it for NiL too.”  And those same people are usually fighting with the regular fundraisers at SU for the same donor pool.

And that’s before you consider now that every deal that goes in the clearinghouse needs a business tied to it and it has to be commercially viable. So a company has to be giving money contractually to the collective and receiving a benefit from the endorsements / marketing deals with the players in the collective.

I have many ideas and ways this could be fixed. But alas I’m sure my ideas go in a “comment box” tied to a trash can.

A new young AD who can get buy in from multiple departments and change internal infrastructure is the only way we fix some of this stuff. And the Chancellor and BoT need to make sure he has the power to fix what’s broken.
