I know there is an NIL website for an Oakland Collective, but does the Collective have any social media presence? Does anyone have a sense if the last few days have generated any NIL dollars for the Collective? It seems until revenue sharing happens (which may not even happen at our level), the Collectives are where the annual “payroll” dollars will come from for college basketball student athletes. The one off opportunities that Jack got this week from Turbo Tax and OOFOS are great and represent the true nature of NIL, but it seems like the collectives are where the actual annual dollars are coming from that help land transfers in the portal.

I have been tweeting the link to the collective the last few days. The team cannot really. It’s a weird thing.
I don’t know the status of the collection but I do know it severely lacks. They need a lot of businesses to ride this wave into next season and donate. Oakland is in on some great players (horizon on horizon crime is my favorite) but those players don’t come cheap.

Good on OuDrummer for sharing the Collective info on social media. Need to get the word out there. I’ve been reading up on collectives the last few weeks and it really seems to be the future (as in now). Apparently, YSU has a very strong one for the mid major level.
I don’t see how this is sustainable, we are asking donors to fund an annual payroll every year now across hundreds of college basketball programs now. I am reading an average “payroll” for NIL for a Big East team is $2 million per year. I don’t get it as I can’t believe there is a great return in investment for the businesses or alums donating. Unless it really is all just about the feeling we get when we have relevant basketball programs. But it’s where we are at right now.

The big thing is getting them to not donate to say, the Orena, but to the collective. Let the university handle the facilities.

The ratings are in: Oakland’s win over Kentucky drew an average of more than 6 million viewers on CBS, the largest audience for an NCAA Tournament opening-round game since 2019.
"Oakland just had a two-hour commercial on CBS last night," Horizon League commissioner Julie Roe Lach said. "This is a breakthrough moment for Oakland; it's also a breakthrough moment for our league."

But what will it be worth to the university? To Athletics? To the NIL fund? Those are the things that we don’t know and are important.

I also wonder what cut Charitable Gift America takes.
