And again where did that acticle get its information since collectives don’t report revenue. Unless I see a financial disclosure it’s all speculation

We are currently negotiating an NIL deal and let’s just say that some of the $$$ that are being reported are suspect. We are working with a 3rd party that advises collectives and one they advise is a very prominent B1G program, so yeah learning a lot about some stuff

• Take away QB’s and a few other skill position players, 95% of deals are not 6 figures
• Kids are getting some false promises and many shady deals out there. It’s a major issue
• Agents, and I use that word lightly are misrepresenting a lot of facts.
• Some NIL contracts are at best suspect with some obscure language. Buyer beware

EDIT: Re “Agents”
