So with that introduction, welcome to the show Vincenzo.Vincenzo 00:00:46 Thank you. Josh, it's a pleasure and thank you for having me on Vincenzo.Josh 00:00:49 I'm super curious to dive into like the influencer marketing in the blogs, like how are you reaching out to these influencers and how are you Negotiating, you know, payment for these because a lot of influencers, it's like you have to pay me a thousand bucks just for me to post it, and then it will be on my story for 24 hours, and then it's gone.Josh 00:01:12 Right? And you're like, wow, I've got to make a lot of money. I've got to make a lot of sales. Yeah, in those 24 hours to make it worth it. So tell me about, you know, a how you're finding these influencers and bloggers, and then B, what type of payment structure are you coming up with.Vincenzo 00:01:29 Sure. So the first tip and this would be for YouTube. One thing that my team does, and of course the only downside of this is that it's very manual work. So it's going to be time consuming if you don't want to use a platform, but still it's an option to do it. So what you will do is you go to YouTube and let's say you want to do vitamin C, right? So you're gonna put all is the name of the product. And then then you put Amazon. So it could be vitamin C, Amazon or top vitamin C Amazon. And the reason why you put Amazon is because at the end of the day, YouTube is a search engine.Vincenzo 00:01:59 And that is gonna matches most of the time with videos that say top ten vitamin C on Amazon, or even if it's not title, it's gonna match it with the link of the influencer. Because if these guys do influence, they have an Amazon influencer account. The links that they put in the description have the Amazon world on it. Therefore, the search engine is going to match me with those videos. And that's the first filtering. I already know. Which ones are the guys that have been working with Amazon brands in the past. They know how the whole ecosystem works, and it's easier than working with a person that, you know, they just do blogs and they don't even have an idea about what is selling on Amazon. So I want to make sure they speak the same language. That's the first thing. The second thing is when it comes to payment terms. So these are different ways you can do it. So the first way of doing it is a matching the Amazon Commission as I mentioned.Vincenzo 00:02:50 So for example if they do 3% or 5% for Amazon with double, so we give 610% to them. Another option that we do is to write them matching the the commission. We might do just a flat fee, right? Maybe initially, when you know that relationship still doesn't exist with influence, it would do a flat fee, which I know sometimes it can be heavy, as you mentioned. But again, there there are many ways for you to, you know, analyze the, the actual YouTube channel. There are tools that you put the, the hashtag and it gives you like the history, the views, engagement and so on. And that can give you like a good idea about how good this influencer is. And based on that, if this guy asks you for 1000, but then you see that the average likes for videos like two likes, you see that that traffic is fake. So that's a red flag. And the third option, which is this is the most difficult to get. But if you get this, I would say this one is the best way.Vincenzo 00:03:46 It's basically you you transform this person into an ambassador, right. So an ambassador means that basically they become like the face of your product, and they basically talk about your product and pretty much every single video. Like it could be a banner at the beginning or you start sponsoring ...

Welcome to "Ahead in the Count," presented by BIP Wealth. Our Baseball Division combines their collegiate and professional baseball playing experience with financial acumen to provide expertise in life on and off the field. We aim to give ballplayers and their families a better understanding about their unique lifestyle, the opportunities that come from playing this game, and insight into the complex financial world. This is "Ahead in the Count," hosted by Nolan Alexander, from BIP Wealth. How do you decide between signing a professional contract and playing college baseball? In Part 2 of this conversation, host Nolan Alexander of BIP Wealth sits down again with former college and professional players Chase Murray and John Hester to dig into the financial and personal side of "determining your number" ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft. The trio walks through what actually lands in a player's pocket after a signing bonus. This is once taxes, agent fees, and major purchases are accounted for, and contrasts that W-2 signing-bonus income with the very different tax picture of 1099 NIL earnings in college. They explain how agents and families can use a real bonus breakdown to compare a draft slot value against a college scholarship offer, how agents negotiate a bonus range with organizations, and how that figure can be taken back to a school to weigh both paths honestly. Beyond the dollars, the guests get candid about the human side of the decision: why there's genuinely no wrong choice, why most young players already know in their gut which way they're leaning, and why the jump from high school to college — and from college to pro ball — is harder than almost anyone expects. They share a blunt truth that applies at every level: nobody cares who you were before, nothing is guaranteed, and you have to protect what you've earned. The episode also unpacks a key mindset shift between college baseball (built around winning every game) and the minor leagues (built around player development), and how the modern landscape, like improved minor league pay and housing, plus expanded college scholarships beyond the old 11.7 limit, has turned this into a true win-win for today's draft-eligible players. This is the final episode before the July 2026 MLB Draft, and the guys close with well wishes and a reminder to take a breath and enjoy a moment players will remember for the rest of their lives. What You'll Learn How a bonus breakdown reveals your true net signing bonus after taxes, agent fees, and big purchases The difference between W-2 signing-bonus income and 1099 NIL income — and why roughly 30% should be set aside for taxes How agents negotiate a bonus range with MLB organizations and use it to weigh a college offer Why slot value is not what ends up in your pocket — and why taxes change the math The realities of the high school–to–college and college–to–pro jumps Why college baseball prioritizes winning while the minor leagues prioritize player development How improved minor league pay and housing plus expanded college scholarships make this a win-win era Why nothing is guaranteed in baseball — and how to make your earnings last CONTACT For more information: jhester@bipwealth.com, kschmidt@bipwealth.com, cmurray@bipwealth.com, jhermida@bipwealth.com Visit: BIPWealth.com

We aim to give ballplayers and their families a better understanding about their unique lifestyle, the opportunities that come from playing this game, and insight into the complex financial world. This is "Ahead in the Count," hosted by Nolan Alexander, from BIP Wealth. What's Covered in This Episode How NIL and revenue share have changed the "find your number" conversation for high school and college players heading into the MLB Draft Why today's draft-eligible players have more leverage than ever The case for turning pro early: faster developmental clocks, the wood-bat transition, and the jump from a college rotation to a five-man pro rotation The exceptions: elite, "uber-talented" prospects who reach the majors within a year or two of being drafted The case for choosing college baseball: education, scholarships at prestigious schools, the College World Series experience, team camaraderie, and life after baseball How NIL has raised the overall talent level and competitiveness of college baseball, including players using the transfer portal with Power Conference (ACC/SEC) rosters Why some top college players are now earning hundreds of thousands of dollars — even approaching $1 million — in NIL money, and how that complicates the pro-vs-college decision Chase Murray's and John Hester's own paths through Georgia Tech and Stanford, and how their college experiences shaped their post-playing careers Key Topics & Themes NIL, Revenue Sharing & Player Leverage Chase Murray and John Hester explain how the draft conversation has shifted from "you get what you get" to a market where high school and college players can weigh NIL income, revenue-share commitments, and draft bonus money against each other — often with a program-backed financial floor for their first year or multiple years on campus. The Pro Ball Case: Start the Developmental Clock John Hester breaks down why front offices and player development staff often push for players to turn pro immediately: more reps, a faster transition to wood bats, and exposure to a full five-man pitching rotation rather than a once-a-week college workload. He notes the exceptions — elite prospects who are major-league-ready within a year or two — but stresses that for most players, professional development reps are hard to replicate in college. The College Case: More Than Just a Paycheck Both guests push back on the "turn pro at all costs" mindset, pointing to the value of a college degree, the buffer years between high school and adulthood, team camaraderie unique to the college game, and unforgettable moments like John Hester's freshman-year run to the College World Series at Stanford. This conversation continues in Episode 2, where Chase Murray and John Hester go deeper into how to actually calculate "your number" ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft.

Compensation is one of the hardest operational systems to get right in a med spa. If the structure feels unclear or unfair, it quickly creates tension between providers, leadership, and the overall goals of the business. In this episode, I break down how to design compensation in a way that supports profitability, collaboration, and long-term practice growth—not just short-term production. The goal isn't simply to pay providers more. It's to build systems that reward the right behaviors while keeping the business financially healthy. Why Most Compensation Problems Start with the Wrong Incentives One of the biggest mistakes I see is compensation structures that reward activity without measuring whether that activity is actually helping the practice grow profitably. Straight salary models often reduce motivation, while poorly structured commission systems can create competition, entitlement, and resentment between providers. Even hourly pay can become problematic if the only focus is keeping schedules full. A provider being "busy" does not necessarily mean the business is healthy. Revenue per hour, utilization rates, treatment mix, rebooking behavior, and profitability matter much more than simply filling appointment slots. The practices that perform best financially are usually measuring the quality of production—not just the quantity of appointments. The Compensation Framework I Recommend Most Often The most sustainable compensation systems usually combine several layers instead of relying on a single model. • Hourly base pay creates stability and predictable income • Revenue-sharing structures reward measurable growth above baseline performance • Tiered commission thresholds incentivize stronger production and utilization • Team-based commission structures encourage collaboration instead of competition • Department KPIs help align providers around operational goals • Scorecard bonuses create accountability around both financial and behavioral performance The key is making expectations measurable, transparent, and tied directly to the outcomes the practice is trying to create. Why Compensation Needs to Be Supported by Clear Operational Data Compensation conversations become much easier when they're grounded in objective reporting instead of emotion or perception. Monthly scorecards, shared KPIs, and regular performance reviews help providers understand exactly how compensation decisions are being made. Metrics like utilization, revenue per hour, rebooking rates, and departmental performance create a much clearer picture of what's contributing to practice growth—and what isn't. That level of transparency also helps reduce HR conflict because expectations become consistent, visible, and easier to communicate across the team. As You Expand, Compensation Becomes Part of Your Infrastructure The larger your practice becomes, the more important compensation design becomes operationally. Weak systems create friction, inconsistent performance, and retention problems. Strong systems create alignment, accountability, and a healthier team culture over time. The med spas that scale successfully are usually the ones where compensation reinforces the business model instead of constantly working against it. When providers understand how their performance impacts practice growth—and feel rewarded fairly for contributing to it—you create a much stronger foundation for sustainable expansion.

In the final segment of Big Orange Sunday, Coach reflects on the shifting landscape of college football, focusing on the evolving strategies programs must adopt to remain competitive. He highlights the critical roles of revenue sharing and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) funding, estimating that top-tier programs like the University of Tennessee command between $35 million and $40 million in combined resources. The central challenge for modern coaches, specifically pointing to Tennessee's Josh Heupel, is finding the right balance between recruiting high school talent and leveraging the transfer portal. While some programs, such as Lane Kiffin's at Ole Miss, heavily rely on the portal, Tennessee has maintained a more balanced approach, roughly splitting its roster composition 50/50 between high school signees and transfer players. The host details what has effectively become the standard blueprint for contemporary roster management: recruiting and financially compensating high school players, enrolling them early, and heavily utilizing them during their freshman and sophomore years. Following this initial period, coaching staffs must continuously evaluate each player's performance to adjust their NIL valuation and revenue share accordingly. This system ultimately leads to a natural roster turnover, where underperforming athletes enter the portal, and programs actively recruit experienced transfers—including short-term seniors for specific depth needs—to round out their squads. Looking ahead, the host notes that roughly half of Tennessee's current starters and nearly half of its rotational players are transfers, signaling a clear, permanent shift in how the Volunteers and other major college programs operate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In Episode 55 of The MatStats Show, hosts Glenn Gormley, Jason Bryant, and Kevin Hazard continue their "Moneyball" deep dive into the impact of the 3-point takedown rule. Analyzing over 3,300 matches from the 2021–2026 NCAA Championships, the team investigates whether the recent rise in total points is a result of increased action or merely "scoring inflation". The data reveals a staggering 228% increase in technical falls, prompting Gormley to suggest that bonus-point thresholds have been "cheapened".The hosts propose modernizing the sport by raising the Major Decision margin to 10 points and Technical Falls to 18 or 20 points. This adjustment aims to restore the historical value of dominance in an era where takedowns now account for 59% of all scoring.The episode also features a "College Business Update," highlighting the financial pressures of Revenue Sharing and massive NIL budgets. With top basketball NIL budgets now estimated at $20 million per year, the crew discusses how these external shifts may eventually force Men's Basketball to seek a larger share of NCAA revenues.

In this episode of the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans examines the growing legal and business tension between college athletics revenue sharing and Title IX compliance. As universities prepare for a new era of direct athlete compensation, schools and conferences are facing major questions surrounding institutional risk and the future structure of college sports. Jeremy discusses how emerging revenue-sharing models could reshape athletic departments nationwide, including the potential impact on scholarships, Olympic sports, athlete opportunities, and long-term financial planning. The episode also explores how ongoing litigation, NIL expansion, and media rights growth are accelerating change across collegiate athletics. As college sports continue evolving, the intersection of revenue sharing and Title IX along with athlete employment status may become one of the most significant legal and business challenges facing the industry.

Building in public helped me sell FeedbackPanda. That same radical transparency could now destroy a business overnight. With agentic coding tools, anyone can turn your publicly shared architecture, revenue numbers, and feature details into a working competitor in days—no coding skills required. The old safety threshold of $20-30K MRR has collapsed to zero. But that doesn't mean you stop sharing entirely.

Under the 2020 CBA, players would receive 50% of shared revenue -- defined in the CBA as the amount of revenue over a predetermined threshold minus 30% for expenses. In 2025, the players' portion of shared revenue amounted to about $16 million, according to the union. Of that, $8 million will be paid to players who were active in 2025, the union said. As mandated by the CBA, the other half ($8 million) will be allocated to league marketing agreements, which are offseason initiatives offered to some players to promote the league and its partnersBusiness Inquiries DaDojoProduction@gmail.com Insta https://www.instagram.com/senseink/ Pod Insta: https://www.instagram.com/dadojocast/ Sports Page @IKINDAKNOWBALL
In a special Contacts Coaching podcast episode, Stevenson alumna Danielle Koval—Director of Compliance for Financial Aid and revenue sharing at the University of Oklahoma—shares her path from being a swimmer and water polo player at Stevenson to swimming at Fresno State, working in student-athlete academic services, moving to UNLV, and then joining OU after taking a financial aid role just before COVID. She compares working environments across Fresno State, UNLV, and a Power Four brand like Oklahoma, emphasizing the scale of budgets, the weight of a global brand, and the constant pace of compliance changes driven by lawsuits and reactive policy shifts. The conversation explains how college athletics finances work, why most sports operate at a loss, and how football revenue and attendance underwrite broader departmental resources. Koval details how athletic scholarships and financial aid function across headcount and equivalency sports, why FAFSA and campus/college-level scholarships matter, and how tuition waivers and programs like the Western Undergraduate Exchange reduce costs. She breaks down the shift from NCAA scholarship limits to roster caps under the new landscape, including how schools decide whether to fully fund expanded rosters and how new scholarships can count against the revenue-sharing cap. The episode also covers OU's revenue-sharing approach (six sports), Title IX defensibility pressures, preferred walk-on dynamics under roster caps, the increased role of agents in everyday issues, and how contracts are renegotiated annually amid early signing day and the transfer portal. Koval discusses the challenges of paying athletes while preparing them for life after sports, including OU's financial literacy programming, and closes with a personal reflection on changing her mindset from perfectionism to giving herself grace as circumstances shift.00:00 Welcome & Meet Danielle Koval (OU Compliance + Financial Aid/Rev Share)00:33 Danielle's Athlete-to-Administrator Journey: Fresno State → UNLV → Oklahoma05:31 Leveling Up: What Changes from Mid-Major to Power Program?08:34 The OU Brand & Culture of Excellence Across Sports11:23 Money Talks: Football Revenue, Facilities, and Funding Other Sports12:51 Is College Athletics Sustainable?

We are back! After a bit of a break, your favorite college football podcast has returned! Some new voices have joined the show with the departures of Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join Ross Dellenger for College Football Enquirer's newest version!There was quite a bit of news that happened while we were away, so it's time to catch up. Schools can pay athletes directly now. Revenue sharing has arrived! This has already caused an immediate shift in the college football landscape and schools are taking full advantage. One team who is capitalizing on that is Vanderbilt. Huge hype and ticket prices have followed. How has this change affected the college landscape? Has it changed for the better? These questions and more are what Andy, Ross and Steven answer.As athletes continue to get paid, guardrails around how they can be paid continue to be developed. Enter the College Sports Commission. This commission is supposed to make sure there is fairness across the board in how athletes are being paid. How exactly they are doing that is a bit more complicated. Luckily, Ross can break it all down.Another huge change on the horizon has to do with the transfer portal. This topic has been discussed at length. Should there only be one portal window rather than two? When should that be? Change is coming and while there is some disagreement among conferences for when the portal window should open, a shift appears imminent. The guys explain what the change may look like, and they give their takes on when the portal should open.We are just a few weeks away from the start of the season, so naturally we have to talk about what coaches are hoping to still have a job by the end of the season. While some coaches' buyouts are too big for them to have any concern this year, others do not have that luxury. Texas Tech's Joey McGuire and Oklahoma's Brent Venables are two coaches that look to be in win now situations. The guys discuss the coaches' futures with their respective programs. They also dive into how the new college landscape of paying players may have led to some coaches' jobs being saved.Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at some upset ready matchups in the Week 1 slate. Are Boise St., Mississippi St. and Kentucky on upset watch? The guys chat about what they are looking at in those Week 1 games.A jam-packed episode of College Football Enquirer begins now.
