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
SB Loses Shootout to Manhattan On Nov. 24 Stony Brook's Women's Basketball team faced the Manhattan Jasper's. In a high scoring affair, Stony Brook lost by a final score of 74-68. Th...

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.

Hofstra Announces Landmark NIL Deal for Entire Men's Lacrosse Team
In an effort to improve financial literacy, Hofstra and The Athlete Amplifier have partnered for a landmark NIL agreement.
USA Lacrosse · usalacrosse.com

In an effort to improve financial literacy, Hofstra and The Athlete Amplifier have partnered for a landmark name, image and likeness (NIL) agreement that will benefit all 46 members of the men's lacrosse team.

Every team member will receive financial compensation from The Athlete Amplifier, which was founded by 1981 Hofstra graduate Joe Rinaldi, who played football at Hofstra in 1978 and 1979, and Cheryl Weaver-Ewing, wife of NBA Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.

His son, Anthony Rinaldi, is a redshirt freshman on the Pride.

In addition to the NIL deal, every team member will work with Quantum Financial Advisors to open a new investment account through Charles Schwab & Co.

"It was incredibly important to our program that every student-athlete was treated equally and received the same opportunity," Hofstra head coach Seth Tierney said.

The Athlete Amplifier was founded to analyze emerging marketplace trends and offer solutions for high school and college student-athletes looking to leverage NIL opportunities.
