Where do you see that?

There was a report of that this morning.  Sounds like there may be an official announcement later today.

Although I apparently had that wrong.  It was Athlete Impact Management that was doing men's basketball previously.  So there were three.  Now there will be two - Big Red Collaborative being the other.  But I'm not sure they're really doing much.

I'm glad to see this happen. Having coexisting different collectives never made much sense to me.

I believe there is still the NIL being run out of Omaha with the former NFL guys and other boosters in that area. This is just moving the basketball-specific NIL fund under the 1890 umbrella.

It’s not just about NIL — which, according to one source, allowed roughly a half-dozen NU athletes to collect six-figure incomes in 2022.

I would guess for sure Thompson and Mathis from the football side.  Probably a couple volleyball players?
