As I understand, a lot of this NIL stuff (outside of some P5 schools using it as a way to pay athletes) is all about social media followers. Between the publicity of the hail mary at Buffalo and the TD after getting his helmet knocked off, Sluka might have a decent following

Between the publicity of the hail mary at Buffalo and the TD after getting his helmet knocked off, Sluka might have a decent following It has to do with marketing reach (which goes into social media followers). Do you want Sluka to show up to a practice of your kid's? This is a way to pay him to do that. Here is a player on the UConn WBB team opendorse.com/profile/amari-deberry?from=uconn-huskies

This agreement is exclusive. But it appears to only exclusively bind HC as MOGL is onboarding many schools and I don't believe a college can limit the freedom of an athlete to any one NIL provider.
I hope MOGL is a vendor to HC who assists them in organizing the NIL process for student athletes but HC has retained the right to terminate the partnership at any time and handle in house deals w/o MOGL and has protected the students' rights to terminate their association with MOGL at any time and also cut their own deals without MOGL getting paid anything.
To me MOGL should get paid for any new business they bring in but if the college or student brings it in MOGL hasn't earned a cut. Any NCAA compliance activities should be handled in-house by Athletic Department employees. To contract out that work is risky.

Between the publicity of the hail mary at Buffalo and the TD after getting his helmet knocked off, Sluka might have a decent following It appears he has between 3-4,000 Instagram followers. This is a lot for an average person but don't think it's anywhere near the threshold of "getting paid". The average college kid probably has a little over 1,000 if I had to guess. The average millennial (my generation) would likely have several hundred followers, as Instagram didn't come out until we were in our mid-twenties. Facebook was the primary social media platform for our group until probably 2015 or so. I don't even think college age kids would even have Facebook today -- why would you want to join a social media platform that your 55-year old parents and nosy aunts and uncles are on? Which is funny because Facebook was originally formed as a digital network to connect college students! I think a big way a lot of Holy Cross-level athletes will benefit from NIL will be by getting paid to work at or make appearances at camps, or to run private one-on-one lessons. My cousin was the lax goalie for Towson, graduating in 2017 (CAA tournament MVP after taking over starting role halfway thru his senior year). He would have been able to make a killing running goalie clinics over the summer in his hometown in Montgomery County, MD had NIL been a thing then. But social media will definitely be a revenue generator for those who are really able to put together a 5-figure following. Think very attractive women who also happen to play DI soccer or volleyball for example. Or those that chronicle and put together "day in the life of an athlete" stories on a regular basis. Many more examples I'm sure but plenty of athletes will make $ this way.

I was watching TV last night and laughed when a commercial for a CT mattress store came on featuring a UConn hockey player in full uniform. I turned to my wife and said: NIL.

The kind of NIL stuff I can actually get behind as opposed to boosters raising millions and creating " marketing companies" to give major league contracts to "amateur" student athletes.
