SEC Associate Commissioner Talks Recruiting Season 6 Episode 9

Host: Chris Doelle Co-Host: Tim Prukop Guest: Matt Boyer

The transformation of college athletics through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations and the implementation of revenue sharing.

Key Takeaways: • Revenue Sharing Implementation: Under the House vs. NCAA settlement, schools can now share 22% of annual revenue with athletes, totaling approximately $20.5 million this year. • The College Sports Commission: A new enforcement entity has been established to manage the infrastructure for reporting and evaluating NIL deals. • Third-Party NIL Criteria: For approval, third-party deals must demonstrate a valid business purpose and fall within a recognized range of compensation (market value). • High School Disclosure Requirements: Athletes must disclose all NIL deals dating back to the start of their junior year of high school within 14 days of college enrollment. • Eligibility and Financial Risks: Non-compliant NIL deals can result in eligibility consequences or the requirement to repay the value of the deal. • Expanded Scholarships: The new structure allows for significantly more scholarships; for instance, baseball can now offer up to 34 scholarships, up from the previous 11.7. • Agent Due Diligence: Coaches and families are advised to carefully vet agents to avoid predatory rates or representation that is ill-equipped for the college landscape. • National Stability Efforts: A recent presidential executive order signals a commitment to collegiate stability, though it currently serves as a directive rather than a binding rule of law.

The Marketing Drive

Short marketing message that you can use right now!

Love is the Answer

Host: Chris Doelle | Production: Fresh Media Works

CORE PREMISE Chris Doelle argues that love is a practical business principle, not just a personal one. Real growth comes from genuinely valuing clients, staff, partners, and collaborators as people, not transactions.

MAIN TOPICS

Clients and customer value • Treat clients as relationships, not revenue entries. • Short-term transactions are weaker than long-term trust. • Lifetime value grows when clients feel genuinely valued.

Staff and team culture • Leadership should correct problems without losing care for people. • Teams perform better when staff know they are supported. • Shared success starts with respect and investment in others.

Business relationships • Love applies beyond customers to partners, collaborators, and even competitors. • Strong business outcomes are built on human connection. • Real relationships matter more than what appears on an invoice.

Authenticity in business • Chris ties love to being real in how you work and serve. • The strongest business foundation is caring about who you help and why. • People can tell when they are being treated as numbers.

Long-term mindset • Transactional business can work for a while. • Enduring client relationships require sincerity and service. • The goal is not just payment, but meaningful impact.

PULL QUOTE If someone cannot convincingly market their own marketing to you, do not let them near you or your clients.
