As the NIL landscape evolves, Stanford athletes are not waiting for NIL collectives to reach out to them several student-athletes sourced NIL opportunities with local businesses to maximize earnings potential.
There have been a couple of minor interesting pieces of information regarding NIL and Warde's spending on assistant coaches. On Wednesday, the university announced a strategic partnership with Learfield (which has already been a partner in branding and broadcasting) and Altius Sports Partners to enhance and grow the NIL sphere in Ann Arbor. With the new partnership, Altius will hire an executive general manager for NIL who will work on campus to help facilitate deals and educate student-athletes on what’s available to them within the NIL space.
