Coach is joined by veteran college football journalists Dennis Dodd and Tony Barnhart to preview the highly anticipated 2026 season. Coach leads the panel through a comprehensive breakdown of the sport's current landscape. The guests provide their seasoned perspectives as college football enters its 157th year, bringing deep industry knowledge to the complex intersection of on-field competition and off-field economics. The segment heavily focused on the financial realities of college athletics, specifically the "rise of athlete media" in the sixth year of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). The panel discussed Opendorse data revealing Instagram's dominance in influencer deals, the massive athletic spending gap between the Big Ten and the Big 12, and the potential impact of the Cruz-Cantwell bill on conference realignment and collective bargaining. The conversation then shifted to a draft of the top storylines for 2026, featuring debates over championship-or-bust expectations for teams like Oregon and Texas, Lane Kiffin’s high-pressure tenure at LSU, and the Big Ten's quest for a fourth consecutive national title. The episode wrapped up with a look ahead to premier matchups—including Ohio State at Texas and Clemson at LSU—and a nod to the upcoming SEC Media Days in Tampa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach is joined by Jimmy Hyams to dissect the rapidly evolving college football landscape and the economic impacts of the ongoing World Cup. The duo dives into the complexities of NIL and revenue sharing, referencing an OpenDorse report to highlight how financial shifts are impacting roster building, such as Tennessee's situation with Chaz Coleman. Shifting to SEC predictions, Jimmy identifies Georgia as the definitive top contender led by returning quarterback Gunner Stockton, while forecasting a significant four-loss regression for Alabama. They also evaluate Oklahoma's defensive improvements and Vanderbilt's grueling schedule. The most important takeaway for listeners is that despite Georgia's clear on-field dominance, unprecedented structural changes to revenue sharing and playoff expansion are fundamentally rewriting the sport's future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday Coach is joined by college football insiders Jimmy Hyams and Dennis Dodd to break down the sport's rapidly shifting landscape, evaluating everything from conference power dynamics to the complexities of NIL and revenue sharing. Referencing an OpenDorse report, the panel unpacks how financial shifts are rewriting roster-building strategies alongside their predictions for the expanded playoffs. Hyams identifies Georgia as the clear SEC favorite and forecasts a four-loss regression for Alabama, while Dodd highlights Oregon’s elite defense, Notre Dame’s highly favorable schedule, and Utah’s potential to dominate the wide-open Big 12. Furthermore, Dodd praises Missouri’s overachieving program and their massive $250 million stadium renovation as a prime example of how mid-tier teams are investing heavily to keep pace with the elite. Shifting to off-field developments, the discussion examines the NCAA's recent implementation of "low-hanging fruit" policies aimed at stabilizing a chaotic system. These calculated steps include a one-time transfer portal window, a six-week coaching dead period, and a "five-for-five" eligibility rule that effectively eliminates traditional redshirting. While major structural challenges—like capping player pools and enforcing anti-tampering rules—remain unresolved, these changes signal that the NCAA is actively recognizing its systemic issues. The Ultimate Takeaway: Despite unprecedented changes to revenue sharing, playoff expansion, and massive infrastructural investments by rising programs, the path to a national championship still dictates that these teams must consistently defeat established blue-blood powerhouses on the field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show - College Sports Edition, Wayne Kimmel and Co-Host Ken Shropshire interviewed the Co-Founder & CEO of Opendorse, Blake Lawrence. Lawrence explores the rapid evolution of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports—covering the impact of recent executive orders, the financial literacy young athletes need, and the shifting dynamics of athlete compensation. He offers insights into the challenges and opportunities NIL presents, the implications of the transfer portal, and introduces his book, NIL 101: The House Settlement, which demystifies the complexities of NIL for athletes and industry stakeholders.After a promising career as a University of Nebraska linebacker was cut short by injury, Lawrence pivoted to business—earning his marketing degree in 2009 and MBA in 2011. In 2010, while completing his MBA, he co-founded Hurrdat, a fast-growing social media agency later acquired in 2014. Building on that success, Lawrence and former teammate Adi Kunalic launched Opendorse in 2012. What began as a simple tool to help one friend manage endorsement deals quickly grew into the leading platform connecting athletes, brands, and sports organizations.Under Lawrence's leadership, Opendorse has partnered with major sports associations including the NFLPA, MLBPA, PGA Tour, NHLPA, and Team USA. Today, the platform serves more than 100,000 athletes, 3,000 brands, and thousands of organizations—backed by $40 million in venture capital and patent-pending technology that quantifies athlete endorsement value.Known for blending lessons from the locker room with entrepreneurial grit, Lawrence champions values like teamwork, accountability, competitiveness, and relentless work ethic. Beyond running Opendorse, he is a sought-after speaker and media voice, appearing on ESPN's Outside the Lines, SportsCenter, Today Show, Bloomberg QuickTake, and more.Blake Lawrence: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blakealawrence/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blake_lawrence/X: https://x.com/Blake_LawrenceNIL 101: The House Settlement: https://blakelawrence.gumroad.com/l/NIL101TheHouseSettlement?utm_campaign=house-posts&utm_medium=social&utm_source=xChapters00:00 Introduction to Blake Lawrence and Opendorse02:51 The Evolution of NIL and Opendorse' Role08:29 The Impact of NIL on Young Athletes12:07 Financial Literacy and Support for Athletes16:31 Compensation Disparities and Locker Room Dynamics21:14 The Transfer Portal and Its Implications24:40 The Future of College Sports and Market Forces26:43 The Role of the College Sports Commission37:19 Blake's Book: NIL 101, The House Settlement41:02 Looking Ahead: The Future of College Football and Basketball

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's show dives into the collision of culture, sports, and finance. We talk with Chase Griffin, a student-athlete and QB at UCLA, who has become a pioneer in the college athletics Name Image Likeness (NIL) movement and is the 2x winner of the NIL Male Athlete of the Year awards from the NIL Summit and Opendorse.Chase has excelled on and off the field, so he's no stranger to success. In high school, he was the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year, and he turned down Ivy League offers to commit to UCLA. At UCLA, he's played behind NFL draft pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson and put up strong performances on the field. Off the field, he's been a leader in the NIL movement and an exemplary scholar-athlete, to the point where his coach at UCLA, Chip Kelly, has said, “if you could buy stock in a human, buy stock in Chase Griffin.”Chase has deftly navigated the rapidly changing landscape of the NIL to secure over 30 NIL brand deals and launched the community / charity giving platform #NILforGood. He recently joined Range Media Partners as Athlete/Creator in Residence and contributes to Range business operations across Sports, NIL, Film, TV, Music, and Social Impact.Chase and I had a fascinating discussion about how the NIL could change college sports as we know it and how it will coincide with more investment into college athletics. At a time when private equity firms are investing into companies that are part of the developing NIL ecosystem and possibly even investing into collegiate athletics conferences, Chase shares his views on the impact that the NIL and financialization of sports has on athletes, colleges, pro sports, and broader student bodies.Congrats on all the accomplishments in your young career thus far, Chase. Thanks for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to share your experiences and wisdom on the NIL.

How much money do student athletes really make from NIL? According to the NIL marketplace Opendorse, the average compensation for student athletes on their platform was about $1,300 per deal in Year 1 of NIL. It should be clear that averages can be inflated due to very large deals by a handful of student athletes when analyzing data like this.  For Ryan Schachtner he is an “Award Winning Name, Image & Likeness Innovator creating impactful programs for student athletes to excel in sports and life.” He currently serves as the CEO of A Must Win. At "A Must Win" they work off of the reality that "It's not relevant until it's real" Partnering with Power 5 Athletic Departments AND Providing Needed Resources for DII & DIII Programs, “A Must Win” Delivers Expert Resources For: 1.

We tackle FINANCIAL LITERACY through my International Bestselling Book: Foundation for Financial Excellence (on Amazon) By translating financial topics into the universal language of sports it's no surprise that athletes & coaches tell us "For the first time I actually understand & am confident in this stuff" By partnering with professional and collegiate athletes as well as subject matter experts we provide relevant, long term, entertaining, easy to understand & implement on-demand solutions that eliminate financial illiteracy and level the financial playing field.

College athletes earned an estimated $917 million in the first year of Name Image and Likeness (NIL) payments, which began in July 2021, according to new data from Opendorse. Opendorse, which provides technology to the athlete endorsement industry, projects the NIL market will produce $1.14 billion in NCAA athlete compensation over the next 12 months. Shawn O'Gorman is the Director of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) at First Round Management. Its his job to ensure the players he represents can maximize all of their athletic, personal and financial potential. O'Gorman says his work starts with forming great and authentic relationships.

Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Name, Image, and Likeness remains at that intersection as Tarun (@tksharmalaw), Mike (@Mike_sonof_Law), and Holly (@ProsecutieRests) dive into the latest on NIL. Charles Barkley has always been outspoken about his feelings towards NIL. (1:16) Barkley recently took to 60 Minutes to state that college basketball is "a travesty and a disgrace," specifically about NIL. Barkley went on to state that the NCAA will only consist of top 25 teams who can pay their players and every other program will become irrelevant. Barkley also stated in 2021 that NIL would cause locker room rifts between players and drive teams apart. It appears that Barkley is wrong again. The Final Four consists of not a single blue blood basketball program. This was the first tournament, EVER, where a number 1 seed didn't make the Elite Eight. Number 9 seed Florida Atlantic University is in the Final Four, and their school has partnered with Opendorse to create an NIL marketplace for their athletes. We discuss how NIL, among other factors like the transfer portal, has leveled out the NCAA men's basketball playing field and increased competition. Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga has been very supportive of NIL and his players. (13:22) This is the first full year of NIL deals being widespread. We discuss the correlation between NIL deals and winning. Miami has a successful men's and women's basketball year. UCLA's head coach Mick Cronin was placed on the hot seat after they lost to Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen regarding his stance on NIL. (24:27) Cronin also showed support for NIL and his players. He even hinted at the NCAA leadership that they need to adapt and develop NIL as the future of college sports. Charles Barkley also commented on the congressional hearings on NIL. (28:10) Barkley expressed his distaste for public officials. Nonetheless, Barkley suggested a committee of informed people be created, and that is what Congress is doing at the hearing on 3/29. Notre Dame President John Jenkins and Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick co-authored and op-ed in the New York Times regarding NIL along with some suggestions for congress and pro leagues. (33:00) Jenkins and Swarbrick wrote the piece with a dated outlook on college athletics as they asked congress to create federal legislation. They wrote with a fear that the NCAA would implode and that NIL would turn college into the minor leagues. With that, they also asked the NFL to create a minor league, as well as asking the NBA to do away with the one-and-done rule. We analyze their suggestions and view of college athletics. *** Have a topic you want to write about? ANYONE and EVERYONE can publish for ⁠⁠⁠ConductDetrimental.com⁠⁠⁠.

Roughly 99% of college athletes - all with big talent and big dreams - will never turn pro. They'll have to make their living doing something other than what they've spent thousands of hours perfecting in the sports arena.  But the good news is that most athletes have developed soft skills and leadership acumen - like resilience, judgement, and teamwork - that is not only fungible, but downright critical in todays fast moving, unpredictable business world. In other words, they'll have a big leg up after graduation.  Todays guests - Blake Lawrence and Adi Kunalic- are living proof. They were both former college athletes who rely on their leadership skills , every single day, to ensure their relatively new company becomes a unicorn in a fast growing industry that helps athletes profit from their name image and likeness.

The Texas Longhorns needed some wins in a bad way on the baseball diamond and managed to do that in dramatic fashion, taking a 2-1 series win over the Oklahoma Sooners. After splitting the Friday and Saturday matchups, Texas fell behind 7-1 in the rubber match but scored 11 unanswered runs to take a lead and the series. The Texas pitching got back on track Friday, but the bullpen yet again let them down on Saturday and Sunday, so what can Texas do moving forward to keep the ship afloat? The winning wasn't just contained to the baseball diamond, the softball, track, and golf teams were all in action this weekend -- and all brought home wins in their competition. We also discuss the new NIL opportunities through OpenDorse, as well as the latest commitment to the 2023 recruiting class. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.
