We need Jeff Dowtin to become a superstar, get a huge contract and donate a few mill to his alma mater.

Re: Understanding the NIL
Somewhere this NIL thing went off the rails. I don’t know what to think anymore. The players wanting and getting their piece of the pie has turned into a God awful mess.

Re: Understanding the NIL
The issue is going to be Olympic sports. These are non revenue generating sports that football and basketball pay for. So the money football and basketball make through media contracts and tickets/merch etc. are paying for sports that no one watches. That money, that football and basketball make is the "PIE". So rather than ask fans to pay for basketball players, schools will end Olympic sports and fund what makes them money.

On the "Rhode to Excellence" site they allow you to choose which sport you want to give to. This is being led by Stone Freeman.

If they were getting some of that pie, it probably would actually be less of a mess.
Now, we're building a new pie and it couldn't be more of a clusterduck.

Re: Understanding the NIL
I love the NIL creativity that Dawn Staley is showing at South Carolina. When approached by a local corporation, she said she would represent them IF and only IF they offered an NIL opportunity to each of her players, including stock options. Builds team loyalty, while teaching life lessons about equity (double entendre, there).
While everyone snipes and grabs at the pie, Staley adapts, teaches, prospers, and succeeds. Once again, the women lead.....

Re: Understanding the NIL
I mean that is great if Staley has the ability with her program to do stuff like this, but let’s get real about this sport. Players want $250k upwards to $1.5 million? . Players transfer every year with no penalty. I have gotten to the point where I really don’t care what happens to this sport. URI basketball was my favorite thing to watch, but I could care less now with the NIL. The university wants you to buy season tickets, donate money and provide for the NIL? No thanks! No one on last years team should have received a $1. I guess the scholarships no longer are useful. If there was a set amount that all players got it would be one thing, but this is a jokeNHRamFan wrote: ↑1 month ago I love the NIL creativity that Dawn Staley is showing at South Carolina.

Re: Understanding the NIL
Yes. Perhaps time is here for the “haves” to break off, find their own level of paid player basketball , super conference competition. And let the “have nots” organize themselves into a less then super conferences. I guess this oversimplified view with current media contracts and all the other stuff makes this impossible?

The NIL could effect fans at some point (that aren’t effected now). I mean I gave a little, but how long can we expect the same people to foot the bill? Forever?

Re: Understanding the NIL
Especially since the program has been in a downward spiral the past few years, recent graduates don't care about the program, as evidenced by student attendance. Very few of them will be donating in future years.

Re: Understanding the NIL
I think in the short term answer is forever? However, forever might not be that long, until the current system that has evolved will collapse upon itself. Therefore ending the current system. I see the answer to the question offered for Stone/Thorr that how will the potential loss of donations previously given be made up with people giving to to Collective? Is simple, just give more and more.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 month ago The NIL could effect fans at some point (that aren’t effected now).

Re: Understanding the NIL
Things are slow around here so I tend to think about Rhody outside the box stuff so I was wondering…
Since Stone is running the collective and since collectives are relatively new and I am unsure of how demanding running a collective is, is it possible that Stone could fill the role of a quasi-GM for Archie ?
What I mean is, is it possible Archie (and staff) could be periodically or regularly sharing insights into the type of players Archie is looking to bring in or specific names during the season then, Stone starts reaching out to those targets representatives with preliminary NIL offers ?
Then, gather the names, interest level and NIL requirements of the target players to share that info with Archie and staff later so they can take nexts steps towards closing the players on joining Rhody ?
I am just wondering and am curious as to what others here think.

I wasn’t anticipating Archie giving up decision making. I was thinking more along the lines of narrowing down the NIL requirements of target type players and specific players Archie may or would have interest in and sharing that info so he can narrow in on players quicker when the portal roles around every year.
Sort of like building a rolling target data base that fits the NIL budget and being proactive ( by communicating with the player reps/advisors regularly ) versus reacting to the portal.
Does that help ?

We don’t know who would enter from year to year but Stone (as quasi GM because he knows our NIL capabilities) can start laying groundwork early in the minds of the targeted players reps/advisors to entice them to enter the portal.
I am thinking Archie and staff would set parameters on players as to type desired by position or even specify by name ? Then, Stone does basic sell job on Rhody to player reps/advisors, if we can meet the players NIL demands and - if preliminary NIL demands align with what we can offer - build interest in those targets to come to Rhody by entering the portal. Then Archie and staff zero in on which to try to close on based on fit, need, etc. knowing the NIL is in the area the player(s) are seeking.
Of course, there is always the risk that once a player enters the portal - especially if they blew up during the season - that all bets are off.
I guess you could liken it to getting in on a prep recruit early but instead focused on potential portal prospects and their potential NIL demands.
My thought exercise is how to get Rhody, utilizing Stone’s knowledge of our NIL budget (like a GM would know the payroll budget to pay players ) to give Archie a leg up on our competition.
It’s a developing thought and I understand it may not be possible but it has been quiet around here regarding Rhody portal news so I thought I’d throw the idea out there to generate some discussion.

It’s a developing thought and I understand it may not be possible but it has been quiet around here regarding Rhody portal news so I thought I’d throw the idea out there to generate some discussion.
eta: There will be greater transparency around this sooner rather than later. Like, right now, are schools not looking at players reportedly in the 'too much for us' range? Who determines that range of 'players we can afford to be interested in'? Secret it may be for now, but prolly not for long.

I get it, I used to be young and healthy and it’s a lot to think about on a Friday night.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 month agoyawn, I mean awesome I see a quick reference to 'fit', but, dang, player evaluation seems to be much less of a factor...Jdrums#3 wrote: ↑1 month agoGood questions.section(105) wrote: ↑1 month ago
OK, who knows who is going into the portal from year to year? Each portal year is a new one?
We don’t know who would enter from year to year but Stone (as quasi GM because he knows our NIL capabilities) can start laying groundwork early in the minds of the targeted players reps/advisors to entice them to enter the portal.
I am thinking Archie and staff would set parameters on players as to type desired by position or even specify by name ? Then, Stone does basic sell job on Rhody, if we can meet the players NIL demands and - if preliminary NIL demands align with what we can offer - build interest in those targets to come to Rhody by entering the portal. Then Archie decides who he wants to close on based on fit, need, etc. knowing the NIL isn’t an issue.
Of course, there is always the risk that once a player enters the portal - especially if they blew up during the season - that all bets are off.

What can I say, you get to my point in life and this is how I spend my Friday nights…trying to figure out ways for Rhody to win at portalpalooza rather than doing young fun stuff. Ooph

Re: Understanding the NIL
You knew it was coming. The USOC already stated concern on NIL. Why? Because Olympic sports are funded by colleges and the USOC pays nothing for it. They just benefit from athletes trained and paid for by Universities. Those sports are funded by basketball and football. I can see Olympic sports being defunded by schools.

Re: Understanding the NIL
I can't wait to see what this does to student fees...will the schools tack on a special NIL fee line item?
