Do you know if TrueNU has considered a model like Stanford has? Stanford NIL program does a minimum set amount for every football player on the roster, including freshman. The amount was $10,000 last season and working towards $20,000 per year per roster spot regardless of playing time. Starters allegedly receive $50,000 minimum per season. These are minimums and players can make much more. It’s not easy for players to just go out and get their own NIL deals worth in that range. It is quite a selling point for Stanford NIL structure to offer this as standard beyond the degree. Do you know if TrueNU has considered such a format?
When looking at the current landscape of college recruiting, NIL will only become more prominent. I understand that NU sells the long-term value of its education. However, it may be wise to review and compare our NIL program with what other like minded institutions are doing for recruits. A lot of the players looking at NU can also get a solid education at a handful of other institutions, so the structure of the NIL program may matter if the degree reputation is similar.
