Behind the scenes with Nebraska football

I listened to it, pretty good. Good team building if anything.

Gettin those NIL dollars

What purpose does Nebraska’s NIL serve exactly? My understanding was that effective immediately NIL money has to be approved through a clearinghouse.

@Carm any insight into how this would work with the new rev share structure?

Seems to me like proceeds should go to the AD’s budget which then helps cover revenue sharing.

I have the same questions. What does 1890 do with its money now?

Same here, unless the money goes towards 1890 acting like a marketing firm and trying to find the athletes legit NIL opportunities.

But then they shouldn't need much money as the payment will come from the client. So no idea.

Hey, we need to rock the stadium. No cap.

I’ll be wearing my cap, thank you.

That is awesome that Rhule is doing the pod for the program.

A number of collectives sued or threatened to sue, so they changed the guidelines a few weeks after the House settlement. Collectives can still pay players (where originally they were going to be forbidden to make direct payments), but now it goes through the clearinghouse thing that's supposed to validate that it's a real market-value endorsement deal, & not just donors dropping a bag of cash.

So they're still going to be doing what they were originally doing, just with some guardrails. We'll see soon whether those guardrails mean anything or not.

Commission loosens prohibition on NIL payments

The College Sports Commission has loosened its blanket prohibition on athletes receiving payments from NIL collectives, according to a memo the new enforcement agency sent to athletic directors.

I still don’t understand. I get that payments have to be for legit endorsements, actual NIL deals. When it is Adidas or Amigos or Gary Michaels’ Clothiers paying for an endorsement, it’s pretty straight forward.

But 1890 is going to pay athletes to endorse… what exactly?

We got all the bad apples out of the system once they gave SMU the death penalty. System has been pure for decades, stop being such a cynic.

Theoretically, I think the argument is about them being a broker, or donor or fan-related stuff that's not directly a corporate endorsement.

Like Cameo type stuff where someone wants to pay an athlete to do a video, or some venue wants to have a few athletes do autograph appearances.

I just cooked this idea up in my head, but I wonder if 1890 could offer like grants to local businesses to cover some or all of the endorsements from businesses. That way the payments are still tied to actual endorsements but the money comes from the collective.
