What to make of NIL and how this applies to BC


The ability of players to market themselves and/or to be marketed by their school is upon us.

Name - Image - Likeness! Whether we like it or not, the time is near with legislation unfolding to give student-athletes power to earn money during their playing careers

Will this have a positive effect on college football or an overall negative effect?

Does Boston College have a plan to embrace this, or keep its head in the sand?

Many Southern States and Schools are really pushing this, and Notre Dame is jumping on the bandwagon in a bold and big way to market Fighting Irish players nationwide.

I gleaned some of this from a ND posting.

Last week Notre Dame formally launched its nationwide billboard campaign targeted to both raise the individual profiles of its players - each billboard features a player's Twitter handle and amplify recruiting visibility as the NCAA's 15-month COVID-induced dead period has almost arrived.

The Irish launched the billboards in Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York City/Jersey City, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tampa and the Washington, D.C. area known as the DMV.

Oh boy - here we go. Let's get this discussion underway and advance some ideas.
