GMU forward Josh Oduro signs NIL deal with Jim McKay Chevrolet

We’re starting to see college players profit off their name, image, and likeness with what are called NIL deals. Over the summer, 7News reported about the NCAA’s new policy that allows college athletes to monetize their social media accounts, sell merchandise, or even star in ad campaigns...

There are plenty of GMU Alumni who own restaurants and bars around the region that could easily make this happen - a win-win for all parties. One who often posts here could absolutely support this as he owns a few familiar places you may heard of.

Kentucky’s Oscar Tshwiebwe is coming back to Lexington for another season. The Power of NIL. … especially at Kentucky.

I'll say it again: NIL --- which was long overdue for college athletes --- is going to be very good for college basketball. Productive players who are not going to be first round picks can now go back to school and make quality money playing college basketball.

I think its great that athletes can make this money.
I'm curious if the brands paying these players are seeing a return on their investment, ie did Kathy McKay sell more cars or meet whatever goal she had because she signed Josh?

Do they care about roi?? It's a write off and if it's me, I wanna see Mason get the wins and build a monster program.

i'm curious if she cut the donation to the University and/or basketball program while keeping her total donation amount the same?

THIS IS WHAT many programs fear about NIL - in a zero sum game they lose

I know what you meant (I think), but to clarify, in your scenario it is the school/AD itself that gets less money but the kids that are earning the bulk of this money for the school are getting paid some (or even a lot of) it. The program (including the students in that definition) would remain the same.

I think there will be some of that, but I also believe it will attract additional money overall in some upward to most cases.

Whether I am right or not, I think it is a good thing.

suppose prior to NIL donor gave x to the university/basketball program
now with NIL the donor gives y to NIL and x-y to the university/basketball program

in both cases the donor gives x (and i wont get into which amounts are tax or business deductible)
but the university/basketball program recieves a lesser amount in the second scenario

Apparently colleges are start to withhold the amount of the NIL agreements since it is creating some resentment among those not getting paid the big dollars. Also, some athletes are using the published NIL amounts to negotiate a better deal.

Wooden winner Tshiebwe returning to Kentucky

Wooden Award winner Oscar Tshiebwe announced Wednesday that he is returning to Kentucky for his senior season.

supposedly he is getting $2M in NIL money and that made the decision to stay easier
if true, how do players #2 thru #13 feel and react to that

Probably the same way guys 2-13 feel in NBA teams who don’t have super max deals. Anyone getting butt hurt over this is a bad teammate.

Jay Wright "retiring" reportedly bc of portal and NIL upheaval. College bball is gonna implode. Can't say they weren't asking for it. Money ruins everything.

Guess those players aren't passing him the ball. Or they will give him the ball in his most unlikely to score spots and then not be options for him so he turns it over. And then the parents will get into a fight in the stands. Shit show. But we asked for it.
