Big deal for some high major FBS players. This will mean
virtually nothing to SBU though. Not until we're at least in an
A10 level conference IMO.

Some of the schools in the major conferences have already
partnered with outside companies to help them and their athletes
take advantage of this. I believe their's a market for this at
the midmajor level but SH and his sidekick probably have no idea
how to handle it and wont do anything until there told what and
how.

The 1957 Club helping Stony Brook athletes pursue NIL
opportunities

--- Quote ---
> In New York, colleges are prohibited from arranging
third-party compensation for their students, meaning Stony Brook
is unable to implement its own system to foster NIL contracts.
This dilemma inspired Rob Gitto — a real estate developer — to
establish the 1957 Club to help provide student athletes at
Stony Brook with financial opportunities that they could not
legally receive through the institution itself.
>
> Thus far, the 1957 Club has signed five athletes to contracts,
all of whom play for the Stony Brook men’s basketball team. The
list includes center Keenan Fitzmorris, forward Chris Maidoh,
guard/forward Andre Snoddy and guards Aaron Clarke and Tyler
Stephenson-Moore.
>
> The upward trend of basketball players being signed to
contracts is no coincidence. When forming the 1957 Club, Gitto
quickly realized that men’s basketball is where Stony Brook
needed the most help generating NIL opportunities.
