It is not, shall we say, the most functional website.Is there a way to update your payment amount on the Orange United website without emailing them? Seems like something one should be able to do fairly easily but it's not letting me.
Thanks. That was very similar to my experience this afternoon. I wanted to make sure it wasn't user error as I get rather annoyed when I have to deal with customer service to handle an issue that should be easy to do as self-service.It is not, shall we say, the most functional website.
A few weeks ago, I wanted to make a one-time donation in addition to my monthly contribution.
Every time I pressed Donate (or whatever the button said), I got a pop-up telling me to "Select a package and provide the required information", which I had already done. I tried 3 separate browsers. Same result.
I had to email them and have them process the payment on their end. Their response? "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It looks like it might be a technical error on our site..." No schist.
If they're going to be an on-going collective, they are going to have to upgrade that 90's website.
All that being said, I took a look. If you want to change your "membership", you need to email them at membership@studentathletenil.com.

When I emailed them, someone got back to me in 24 hours. Not the fastest, but serviceable.Thanks. That was very similar to my experience this afternoon.

Have you tried turning your computer off then turning it back on again? That’s the extent of my technical expertise.It is not, shall we say, the most functional website.

Then where is my monthly donation going?I’ve heard Orange United and Athletes who care are no longer involved.
I second this!!!Then where is my monthly donation going?
As of Wednesday evening this was absolutely not the case.I’ve heard Orange United and Athletes who care are no longer involved.
I thought he would at least give us an update with Orange United.no mention of Orange United being an option to donate to NIL in that interview. Orange United is still taking my money every month. I guess I should be cancelling my membership?
I can confirm this as well regarding Orange UnitedDisappointed that Steve didn’t press him on that. I can share that Mark Hayes is meeting with Kevin Morgan next week and that there has not yet been any talk of termination.
I did appreciate the call out I got and John calling me a great guy though!![]()

I'm very confused. Is my monthly donation to OU going to NIL, or isn't it? And if it's not, where IS it going?I can confirm this as well regarding Orange UnitedAnd you are a great guy!! My sense is that Orange United isn't going away. Candidly, I think OU should just merge with SU Football NIL, but not sure if that's realistic or not. John has to get on top of this. Fans are confused. Shouldn't have multiple commercial collectives.
Agree it would be great to fold into the university. Get the money into the school directly.I can confirm this as well regarding Orange UnitedAnd you are a great guy!!

Well, I don't work for Orange United, so I can't say for sure. But yes, your donation to Orange United should be going toward NIL for SU players. Orange United is still in businessI'm very confused. Is my monthly donation to OU going to NIL, or isn't it? And if it's not, where IS it going?
Not sure if these third-party NIL collectives can get folded into the university. SU Athletics has said to me more than once that these collectives aren't part of SU, they're private entities, and their NIL deals are regulated by the College Sports Commission. Perhaps that could change in the future, but not sure.Agree it would be great to fold into the university. Get the money into the school directly.
Issue is the schoolis capped at $20.5MM (minus up to $2.5MM in cost of additional scholarships) for revenue sharing. NIL payments have no cap assuming they clear CSC review. Folding collectives under the University with today's rules make all payments subject to that cap. In today;s world $20.5MM sadly doesn't cover the athlete compensation requirements for a competitive athletic program so autonomous revenue sources are necessary to bridge the gap.Agree it would be great to fold into the university.
