Big deal for some high major FBS players. This will mean virtually nothing to SBU though. Not until we're at least in an A10 level conference IMO.

Some of the schools in the major conferences have already partnered with outside companies to help them and their athletes take advantage of this. I believe their's a market for this at the midmajor level but SH and his sidekick probably have no idea how to handle it and wont do anything until there told what and how.

The 1957 Club helping Stony Brook athletes pursue NIL opportunities
https://www.sbstatesman.com/2023/09/24/the-1957-club-helping-stony-brook-athletes-pursue-nil-opportunities/

Quote
In New York, colleges are prohibited from arranging third-party compensation for their students, meaning Stony Brook is unable to implement its own system to foster NIL contracts. This dilemma inspired Rob Gitto — a real estate developer — to establish the 1957 Club to help provide student athletes at Stony Brook with financial opportunities that they could not legally receive through the institution itself.

Thus far, the 1957 Club has signed five athletes to contracts, all of whom play for the Stony Brook men’s basketball team. The list includes center Keenan Fitzmorris, forward Chris Maidoh, guard/forward Andre Snoddy and guards Aaron Clarke and Tyler Stephenson-Moore.

The upward trend of basketball players being signed to contracts is no coincidence. When forming the 1957 Club, Gitto quickly realized that men’s basketball is where Stony Brook needed the most help generating NIL opportunities.

This is what NIL should be.
