[quote=Anonymous]Kind of a different take here and not really on point to the OPs question - but I find this very interesting as to what additional opportunities college athletes have theses days

In June 2021, the Division 1 Board of Directors approved an interim name, image and likeness (NIL) policy. This new policy allows all NCAA D1, D2 and D3 student-athletes to be compensated for their NIL as of July 1, 2021, regardless of whether their state has a NIL law in place or not.

A wide receiver for Amherst is considered the "king" of D3 NIL.  He gets about $7,500 in cash and free merchandise a year from his deals.

We also know a kid in Texas playing D3 baseball.  He is the best on the team and a top player in the conference.  He got an NIL deal for $3,000 plus free meals from a local restaurant for the year.

To put it in perspective, the top two NIL deals in D!:  Arch Manning (freshman QB at Texas who has not yet played a snap) makes $3,8 million.  Live Dunne (LSU gymnastics) makes $3.5 million.  Coming in with the 100th ranked NIL, a wide receiver ay Michigan who makes $497K annually as a sophomore.
