They consider themselves “facilitators” of NIL for college athletes. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images) What is a Collective?Ī collective is basically an unaffiliated collection of outside donors who compile their money into a fund and assist athletes in finding, receiving, and profiting from NIL deals. Many college football pundits have called the unique environment of NIL the “Wild West.”ĭAYTON, OHIO – MARCH 15: A detailed view of the NCAA logo during a game between the Texas Southern Tigers and the Texas A&M-CC Islanders in the First Four game of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at UD Arena on Main Dayton, Ohio. The new rules have created a massive grey area surrounding the logistics and legality of NIL deals. Instead, the NCAA passed the buck to the individual states the member institutions reside in to determine the extent of NIL a player could profit from. What’s the worst the NCAA can say? No?įollowing increasing public and internal pressure, media scrutiny, and court rulings, the NCAA Board of Directors lifted their rules around athletes selling their rights to their NILs.
