"If there is a business, booster or just any fan who wants to contribute to NIL in general but doesn’t need a reciprocal relationship, the business or booster can contribute to the Collective, then the Collective will pool the money together to create significant NIL deals, and an athlete or athletes in turn promote Hoosier Hysterics. That could be social media posts, appearances, etc."

“The primary goal is make Indiana University the leader in NIL opportunities for its student athletes. We want current players and recruits to know that if you come to Indiana, and stay at Indiana, the fanbase has your back. Not just when it comes to showing up for games and cheering our tails off, but financially, you will do very well at Indiana.”

Didn’t even take 1 season and NIL needs a salary cap.

Exactly why the NCAA wanted nothing to do with this in court. This all started with a stipend and they found there was no way to limit vs. lawsuits, creativity so they said screw it.

In all honesty I'm surprised there aren't whole units making 100's of k. I will say this though. A few female athletes bball, softball at larger schools are running camps, selling shirts, the internet/phone call to wish happy birthday, etc. some donating some proceeds to charity and such. They are catering to a fan base of kids looking up to them. I think that was to be the model but more the exception.
