        • Myths on NIL

          College sports as we know it is amid changes not seen in a generation. With the laws that differ in each state and the NCAA interim rules, varying degrees of protection and ways to make money from the name, image, and likeness of players are different. Although it's been over a year since the laws were passed, the NCAA had tried to hinder these laws simply because of their benefits.

          The podcast today, breaks down the myths surrounding the workings and opportunities of NIL and pushes back on some of the hard lies thrown at it.

          In this podcast, we'd question:

          ● The decisions of brands wanting to work with athletes

          ● The power schools and athletes that would be targeted

          ● The place of social media influencers in all of these

          ● Why the big market schools should have an advantage
