💰 Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) Discussion

I’m pretty sure it’s the Good Feet Store. I’ve seen the ad. They sell arch support/orthotics things.

Doubt we could get 10K to watch a scrimmage at GMU or ODU or VCU’s arenas either and those are much more accessible to the big population centers with fans.

Yep, that’s the store.

I have a vague memory of someone on the internet saying that Kihei made about six figures in NIL income last year. Is that correct?

Seriously? Thought he only had some local deals and autograph signings? If he did I totally get why he came back for yr 5.

Maybe it was speculation and probably my memory is a bit off. Maybe others know…

Thought it was said that shoe store commercial was worth a decent chunk of change on its own. Like $60k or something along those lines.

If that’s right, then six figures might not be too far off

Yup if he got 60k for the shoe gig then I can see him getting 6 figures. And again I double down on him being correct on his decision come back for yr 5. Potential to have 2 yrs income of 6 plus figures before the aged of 23 and your living expenses are virtually nothing? sign me up.

He also seems to have a long term thing the dairy market in cville which I would assume is 10k+

He stuck around. For the glow balls money. Can’t make this stuff up. Glow balls. Glow in the dark hoodies.

A year or so ago, I thought I was super modern and cool because I thought kids should be paid based on media rights, ticket revenue – i.e., the things that fans actually pay for – and sure, also some cut of jerseys and t-shirts.

But now it turns out I’m super old school, because I had no idea this whole thing was going to turn into a glow ball and medical information app bonanza. Crazy ride we’re on.

He loses the free media bump the longer this goes on. When Pack was being recruited, his app was getting more eyeballs than it ever had.

Updated guidance on NIL. Not much, really.

  • Schools can’t negotiate on behalf of a player (Was that even an open question?)
  • Schools can’t give services to players for NIL stuff that they wouldn’t give to any other student (basically, can’t use the cameras, etc. for free)
  • Schools CAN solicit their donors on behalf of NIL collectives (this one seems pretty big to me)
