June 4, 2022It is extremely interesting to see a post like this, brining light to the new deals being created within NIL and bring to question the idea of revenue within college athletics. We are now seeing coaches like Ryan Day at Ohio State claiming that in order to stay competitive, they will need close to 13 million a year in NIL deals to bring in and retain top talent. High school athletes can now monetize their value in a way that greatly impacts their choice in a university. As we fall further into this new era, what does it look like to legitimately compete while maintaining a shred of amateurism as set by the new guidelines? Athletes are now hiring their own graphic and photographers to present a more marketable image questioning the direction of sports information departments – will their only purpose be to market their athletes for greater deals? Only time will tell.
