I don't think I will ever unsee "cereal enthusiast". I think I will forever refer to Buddy by that moniker now.
I think it will be a lot quicker than most realize, especially because most of these colleges have a local or regional fan base. Will there be national type talents, absolutely, outside of Carmelo I don’t think we’ve had another guy who would fit that mold the past 20 years.What is going to be interesting is when the laws of supply and demand begin to take effect. It may not be long before supply of student athletes in major sports outpaces the demand of local businesses etc for their services.
Better than "Cereal or serial killer". I wonder if it would be a recruiting violation for a local businessman with ties to SU to induce a H.S. recruit with an NIL opportunity. Can you imagine what T. Boone Pickens might do. Not picking on him, just a well known, very well healed, super enthusiastic booster.I don't think I will ever unsee "cereal enthusiast".

This may be a stupid question, but back in the days when The Playboy magazine put out a special pictorial like "girls of the Big East" or "cheerleaders of the SEC" do those girls get paid with their appearances and if so were those NIL events?

These guys will make money, but I think it slows down after this year at a pretty rapid pace.
I will withhold judgment on your comment because there is a ton of creativity and latitude that we will see. All that money being funneled to the coaches and to the schools from the sneaker companies. A lot of that might go directly to the players now. Why would Fuccillo pay Caroline and that other dude to do commercials when they could pay someone the same money who might be a star athlete at a local college.These guys will make money, but I think it slows down after this year at a pretty rapid pace.
No idea, I was paying attention to their assets.Were the "Girls of the Big East" actual student-athletes, or just ordinary students?
I only read Playboy for the car ads.
Like any other market that has had demand walled off by restrictions there will be an initial gold rush and people will go crazy. Then things will settle out. Despite many predictions I can't imagine that pissing away large sums of money is going to be a long term spending habit for the mega rich boosters most other schools besides Syracuse have apparently.What is going to be interesting is when the laws of supply and demand begin to take effect.

During his life time, the billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens "gave $652 million to the university, including $300 million to Oklahoma State athletics."...

Good chance tax relief played a part.During his life time, the billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens "gave $652 million to the university, including $300 million to Oklahoma State athletics."
Oklahoma State honoring Pickens with statue
A 9-foot-tall bronze statue of T. Boone Pickens, who gave an NCAA-record $165 million gift to Oklahoma State in 2005, will be unveiled prior to the Cowboys' Nov. 28 game vs. Texas Tech.www.espn.com

You know Nike's Phil Knight and Papa John Schnatter. But what about "Chainsaw Al" and the "Yella Fella"?www.motherjones.com
For some of these mega-donors, it seems like their goal was/is not making money.
Does NIL kill APR?? Players won’t be going to classAre the athletes permitted to sign with agents now in college to help negotiate for the athletes marketing deals? I would presume yes? If so I wonder if there would need to be certifications and standards for that similar to the NFL?
Which is why the Lands thing, while very predictable, is funny. He basically said he was reopening his recruitment so he could see what kind of violations teams would commit to get him.
There will always be behind the scenes people to ensure plausible deniability by the university, this will kill college sports and this has already started. The OSU QB is making more than some people in the NFL right nowIt's the dumbest rule ever. Completely not enforcible because there will be no way to prove "why" a given company choose to pay for the endorsement... Nor any way to prove the school didn't actually set it up.
