Just wondering. We know our friend Avery LaBarbara had some kind of NIL deal either just before she left HC or when she went to Wisconsin as a grad student transfer (or both).
She subsequently transferred to BC as a grad coaching assistant. Can she or someone else in the same situation get an NIL? Or would it just be a payment for an endorsement since she/they aren't actual players?

NIL is for student athletes. Grad Assistant Coaches can rep any company they want as an influencer, endorser, etc. It just wouldn't need to go through a collective I would think. I wonder how grad assistants have traditionally made money to pay their expenses, as well as what they do for the basketball team? I'm the one who thinks four coaches and a DOBO for 12-13 student athletes is feather bedding as it is before adding one (or more?) graduate assistant.

Avery was on a laptop the day I was at BC this year during the game. I assume she was charting something on the computer |

That is a great way of apprenticing for a coaching career. I think staffing is over the top these days but I still support all the people who are occupying the various positions. In Avery's case she may have chosen this route over some level of international professional basketball. I wish her every good luck in her career.

NIL laws apply to student athletes while they are playing/competing. Grad assistant coaches don't count against NCAA coach limits. I think she was 'hired' by the BC coach; i.e sponsored by the coach, she applied to & enrolled in a grad school program. This is similar to a chemistry grad student assisting in chem lab sessions for undergrads. |

Thanks. My impression, no inside knowledge, was Avery was going to do the extra grad year at BC after Wisconsin grad year playing to get her coaching feet wet. Figured a one year deal at BC and then look to actually get paid to coach as an assistant somewhere . . . . like Holy Cross, perhaps. I do know she had an NIL previously but no details.
