In this in-depth and fast-moving episode, host Josh Stein sits down with Nik Erramilli, founder of the Erramilli Law Group, to unpack the rapidly evolving world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college athletics.
Nik works directly with athletes, agents, and collectives navigating contracts, compliance, and the new financial realities of college sports. Together they explore how the NCAA House settlement has reshaped the entire system — creating a $20.5 million salary-cap-style revenue pool for Power 5 schools, fundamentally changing recruiting, transfers, and the definition of amateurism.
The conversation ranges from the legal history (O’Bannon & Alston) to modern-day case studies — including Carson Beck’s decision to transfer to Miami for a higher NIL valuation, the pressures on coaches to re-recruit rosters every year, and the rise of “below-the-line” sports like volleyball and swimming that are finding new NIL opportunities.
Nik breaks down how schools determine the cap figure, how collectives actually function, and why “everything is short-term” while the market matures. He and Josh also cover:
It’s an educational, insightful, and occasionally funny look inside the intersection of sports, law, and capitalism — a must-listen for athletes, parents, coaches, and fans who want to understand the new business of college athletics.
