It appears NCSU is attempting to keep up with other - bigger programs. The Orange are competing against all of the big-money NIL booster consortiums:
Texas Tech collective to offer $25,000 NIL deals to 100-plus football players (85 scholarships and 20 walk-ons) to renewable one-year contracts.
In exchange, players will perform community service, serve as ambassadors for local and West Texas charities and appear at Matador Club events.
The contracts are payable monthly beginning in August 2022 and are renewable. Unlike NIL collectives at other schools, the contracts are also nonexclusive. The Matador Club is not acquiring players’ NIL rights and is encouraging them to continue pursuing other deals on their own.
it’s getting crazy…
