Fili is ahead of his time.
Just came back from a Clinic in Dallas and one of the presenters was from an NIL start up company in Dallas that consults young athletes.
So they told a story of an athlete who is at UCF playing WR and receiving $48000. They worked on his social media, helped get him to 80k followers and now is getting $450000 as a marketer influencer/college football player.
They’re working with Blue Chip High School Freshman and cleaning up their social media, gain followers so they can be worth more to University NIL deals and Collectives. In 26 states, High School athletes can receive NIL deals. And a lot of what you can earn depends on the number of your followers.
If UTEP can get a guy with a hundred thousand followers, tweets from that player reaches a lot more people than an ad and mean a lot more to the athletic department. Hence worth more $$$.
Pretty fascinating stuff and pretty fascinating how quickly NIL related start up companies are leeching on to athletes and creating a new industry.
