Podcasts about nil name

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds took some time this week to catch up with Joe Knight, Executive Director of Dawgs Unleashed, the internal arm of the Washington Athletic Department that serves as an influencer marketing and NIL agency to increase revenue opportunities and business partnerships within the shifting landscape of collegiate athletics. In short? They act as the matchmaker between Washington's student-athletes and opportunities to help maximize their NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rights. With the House settlement being signed off and agreed to as of June 6th, it means schools will now be able to pay their student-athletes directly. So now the UW student-athletes have two ways to make money; through the school's revenue sharing (which will be done for players playing football, basketball, softball and volleyball per UW AD Pat Chun) and through their NIL opportunities. And that's where Knight and his staff step in to help navigate the UW student-athletes through this new landscape. To start the podcast, Kim asked Joe to broadly define what Dawgs Unleashed will be doing, how they will work with UW's main donor collective - Montlake Futures - and what UW fans who are currently donating to Montlake Futures should expect moving forward as the collective's role is reduced and the role of creating NIL opportunities moves in-house. Joe also talks about what fans and donors can do if they want to get UW student-athletes involved with personal or corporate NIL opportunities.  And how is UW uniquely positioned to take advantage of their potential NIL marketplace within Seattle? Joe talks about that, as well as how important the new media marketing right deal struck with Learfield will help UW student-athletes in terms of generating additional NIL opportunities, and also clears up any confusion about what UW can do for true freshmen enrolling now and how the revenue sharing will look going forward. Is it true that a quarterback could make more than a kicker? It's clear that Jedd Fisch's 'Be A Pro' mantra extends into the realm of revenue share, but what will that mean in terms of dollars and cents for the players involved?  There is a lot to chew on here and Kim offers up some real-world examples that Joe expands on and offers clarity on. There's still so much that is brand-new in this post-House world regarding revenue sharing, NIL opportunities, and what will be kosher in terms of contracts that have to now go through the NIL Go clearinghouse. Are there multi-year NIL deals that have already been signed? For example, if they signed a two-year deal last year, does the second year of the deal now have to go through the NIL Go clearinghouse?  As we're already seeing and as should have been expected, legal challenges are already taking place.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Chimdi and Bryant unpack the implications of the recent NCAA settlement and what it means for the future of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) in college sports. As private equity begins to enter the collegiate athletics space, they explore how this shift could reshape team dynamics, recruitment strategies, and athlete compensation. The conversation highlights the tension between preserving tradition and embracing innovation—and how programs that strike the right balance will emerge as long-term winners. Takeaways The NCAA settlement marks a major turning point in NIL policy and athlete compensation. Private equity's entry into college sports could accelerate commercialization—and create both risks and rewards. Programs rooted in strong tradition must evolve to remain competitive in the changing landscape. Transparency, adaptability, and leadership will be crucial for athletic departments going forward. This new era offers both opportunities and challenges for athletes, coaches, and institutions alike.

Things are changing rapidly with NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) which has only made NCAA recruiting more competitive in the gymnastics world. Besides NIL, most gymnasts are trying to do NCAA gymnastics to get their education paid for (and if they're smart, they'll pursue a degree that means something and open doors). There are lots of ways to make good money, but getting a good education is a good place to start.A LOT of gymnasts and parents think they have all the time in the world to be in tip top shape for NCAA, but that is just not always the case. We find that a lot of gymnasts who are only 1-2 years out from June 15th are woefully unprepared for a variety of reasons. The biggest?·      A string of injuries tied back to unintentional underfueling that have gotten them off-track their skill/level trajectory.·      Performance that's good but not great (due to fatigue going into training, early fatigue during training, poor recovery, etc)·      Mineral depletion and undetected iron deficiency/recycling issues--- burnout, poor endurance, periods/PMS, etc ·      Not focusing enough on gymnastics—all the big name gymnasts who are making money with NIL were good gymnasts BEFORE they become influencers, not the other way around. Links: Secret Podcast (Episode about Recruiting + Nutrition Timeline)

In the latest episode of Intellectual But Ignant, Mako and Boogie sit down with an urban Atlanta hoop legend—Coach Tay Uno. He's the head basketball coach at Snellville Middle, assistant boys' coach at South Gwinnett High, and one of the directors of the nationally ranked AAU program, the Decatur Blazers. Joining him were his son, Kei-Sean Roberts—widely regarded as the No. 1 point guard in the class of 2030—and Treu Taylor, one of the purest shooters in Georgia from the class of 2029.This episode dives into a bit of everything for true basketball heads. Coach Tay shares his story, growing up in Atlanta's 4th Ward Boulevard and hooping alongside his longtime friend, NBA vet Lou Williams. He opens up about the bond he has with his son Kei-Sean, how kids sometimes overlook their parents' legacy, and how that dynamic plays out on and off the court. We also discuss how Coach Tay and his best friend, Coach Just—Treu's father and a co-founder of the Decatur Blazers—built one of the top grassroots programs in the country from the ground up. Tay speaks on the strong village of support behind the Blazers and how overwhelming, yet appreciated, that love truly is. The conversation covers who Kei-Sean and Treu model their games after, their favorite NBA players, and what it's like for Kei-Sean to constantly play up in age groups—and how that pressure sharpens his skills. We talk about the grind today's youth hoopers are on, how taking a break can set you back, and Coach Tay even gives his take on the NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) movement. Most importantly, we shine a light on what Tay and Just are building—a special, game-changing movement that even Jet Academy has partnered with. The buzz is real: people are starting to recognize that the Decatur Blazers may be home to the nation's top talent and could become the No. 1 youth program for the classes of 2029 through 2036 and beyond.

In the "SEC of Division III," championships and high standards define the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC).

He discusses Trinity College’s sport science partnerships, the power of internship-driven staffing, and why Division III athletes who are playing purely for the love of the game bring a unique level of motivation. Embodying immersive coaching, he explains how experiencing a sport firsthand (through playing, site visits, and athlete surveys) enhances training specificity and buy-in. As Chair of the NSCA Ice Hockey Special Interest Group (SIG), he shares strength strategies, lessons from Team USA Women’s Hockey, and key NSCA resources.

They're playing the sport for the love of the game. They're very motivated. They want to be here. There's nothing really holding them. There's no NIL [Name, Image, and Likeness] money. There's no scholarship over their head. They're playing it and training because they love their sport.” 3:25 “That's 30 different cultures, obviously, more than 30 personalities. Every team has got their vibe and their style of training. So, you do get a lot of reps. You get to see a lot of different programming, work with a lot of different personalities.” 7:20 “That would be something I would recommend to anyone taking over a new sport is play the sport, and obviously, you might not play it at a super high level like I am playing at the lowest level you can play in men's league hockey in the state of Connecticut. But I'm out there. I'm experiencing it. I'm feeling what they're feeling. And then when we get on the ice, we'd be able to do our speed work or our conditioning work. I'm actually out there on skates, which I think really helps with a lot of the buy-in. It’s like, ‘All right, this guy cares. He is taking it upon himself to learn our sport, which is so different.’” 19:40
