Question -for those who know how it works
If a coach offers a player, and player is interested but wants to know NIL $, does school basically put them in touch with an NIL group ( like Storm Marketing) and then whomever at this NIL group is determining how many $ they will make available, and then player either accepts or declines both the NIL (and then offer from coach)?
Basically, yes. The school can’t pay players directly but they set them up with a third party who pays the player to play at that school. Now it was originally intended to allow players to make money like on jersey sales, autographs and brand endorsements but it very quickly turned to people and brands working directly with schools to pay players. That’s what happens when the NCAA is running things.
