       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
  HTML https://www.sbstatesman.com/2023/09/24/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.

       This is what NIL should be.

       Hofstra Announces Landmark NIL Deal for Entire Men's Lacrosse
       Team
  HTML https://www.usalacrosse.com/magazine/college/men/hofstra-announces-landmark-nil-deal-entire-mens-lacrosse-team
       [quote]
       In an effort to improve financial literacy, Hofstra and The
       Athlete Amplifier have partnered for a landmark name, image and
       likeness (NIL) agreement that will benefit all 46 members of the
       men's lacrosse team.
       Every team member will receive financial compensation from The
       Athlete Amplifier, which was founded by 1981 Hofstra graduate
       Joe Rinaldi, who played football at Hofstra in 1978 and 1979,
       and Cheryl Weaver-Ewing, wife of NBA Hall of Famer Patrick
       Ewing.
       His son, Anthony Rinaldi, is a redshirt freshman on the Pride.
       In addition to the NIL deal, every team member will work with
       Quantum Financial Advisors to open a new investment account
       through Charles Schwab & Co.
       "It was incredibly important to our program that every
       student-athlete was treated equally and received the same
       opportunity," Hofstra head coach Seth Tierney said.
       The Athlete Amplifier was founded to analyze emerging
       marketplace trends and offer solutions for high school and
       college student-athletes looking to leverage NIL opportunities.

       probably the next step in the changing landscape of college
       athletics:
       Kentucky changes its athletic department to an LLC, hoping to
       become more nimble in finding revenue
