1890 Canceling Contributions?

So who do I donate to now?

Send it directly to Fred Hoiberg so it actually gets put to good use

So we’re just blatantly ignoring the salary cap now or hamstring ourselves by limiting it to revshare only?

No. The University is just going to put the parties who want to hire athletes together with the athletes instead of 1890 doing it. The University will pay revenue sharing and find parties who want to engage athletes for the NIL.

This is why the media rights contract was restructured.

College Sports Commission rejecting some athlete NIL deals​

• Associated Press

Jul 10, 2025, 04:11 PM ET

The new agency in charge of regulating name, image, likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools Thursday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athletes or their schools.

Those arrangements hold no "valid business purpose," the memo said, and don't adhere to rules that call for outside NIL deals to be between players and companies that provide goods or services to the general public for profit.

The letter to Division I athletic directors could be the next step in shuttering today's version of the collective, groups that are closely affiliated with schools and that, in the early days of NIL after July 2021, proved the most efficient way for schools to indirectly cut deals with players.

Since then, the landscape has changed yet again with the $2.8 billion House settlement that allows schools to pay the players directly as of July 1.

Already, collectives affiliated with Colorado, Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgia and others have announced they're shutting down. Georgia, Ohio State and Illinois are among those that have announced plans with Learfield, a media and technology company with decades of licensing and other experience across college athletics, to help arrange NIL deals.

Outside deals between athlete and sponsor are still permitted, but any worth $600 or more have to be vetted by a clearinghouse called NIL Go that was established by the new College Sports Commission.

In its letter to the ADs, the CSC said more than 1,500 deals have been cleared since NIL Go launched on June 11, "ranging in value from three figures to seven figures." More than 12,000 athletes and 1,100 institutional users have registered to use the system.

But the bulk of the letter explained that many deals could not be cleared because they did not conform to an NCAA rule that sets a "valid business purpose" standard for deals to be approved.


The letter explained that if a collective reaches a deal with an athlete to appear on behalf of the collective, which charges an admission fee, the standard is not met because the purpose of the event is to raise money to pay athletes, not to provide goods or services available to the general public for profit.

The same would apply to a deal an athlete makes to sell merchandise to raise money to pay that player because the purpose of "selling merchandise is to raise money to pay that student-athlete and potentially other student-athletes at a particular school or schools, which is not a valid business purpose" according to the NCAA rule.

A deal, however, could be approved if, for instance, the businesses paying the players had a broader purpose than simply acting as a collective. The letter uses a golf course or apparel company as examples.

"In other words, NIL collectives may act as marketing agencies that match student-athletes with businesses that have a valid business purpose and seek to use the student's NIL to promote their businesses," the letter said.

Other teams and collectives are already ignoring the clearing house

This plus money paid to HS kids directly doesn’t need to go through the coearinghouse

We did a deal like the ones Ohio St, Georgia, Alabama, etc did. This is the additional money Rhule has been referring to.

It's so dumb how we had to had collectives for a while to pretend it wasn't the universities being involved, now we can't have collectives to pretend it's not the boosters being involved.

Going through all these painful and retarded machinations to avoid a straight line to an end point everyone with an IQ over 80 knew was going to happen all along.

For only 7 cents a week, you could be the highest donor to Nebraska baseball NIL

What was crazy was they truly couldn’t set up the meetings for the kids with the collective. Rhule literally had to put a slide on the PowerPoint that said “if you’re interested in NIL money here’s the number you need to call them” and would leave it up until he knew everyone had it. The University couldn’t set up the meetings but were absolutely saying who should get what.

Looney tunes.

I think we signed the exact number of 2026 Millard South players we were looking to.

I feel like I might work at this place.

??? The University did not acquire 1890, they are insourcing what it was doing.,

I believe it was sarcasm that Davison is now unemployed, so he will go back to work for the U again (like before).

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

Waiting til' after signing day was a good move.

Thank God, wouldn't want the 113th ranked recruiting class to fall apart.
