Re: Understanding the NIL
Oh yeah 100%. I'm just saying that the collective is most definitely following that rule that they don't reach out to kids. It's legal for the staff to talk dollars with kids, that's 100% within the rules. Collectives can't. BlueMan, please read the below court ruling from a couple of weeks ago On ...

Re: Understanding the NIL
I mean we definitely are following that rule. Stone or our big donors aren't out there recruiting. The collective's job is literally to collect the money and distribute it to current players with NIL agreements.

Re: How much does Oak View Group 360 contribute to the Collective?
Since the success of a team now depends on donations from fans, the teams with the more rabid fan bases will always be the better teams. A team like Dayton averages 13,000 some fans.

Re: How much does Oak View Group 360 contribute to the Collective?
