I think this helps us a lot with our players who are fringe first round picks. UNC is a great place for NIL opportunities, so it could be enough money for some to come back if they don't get the first round guarantee. It's also going to be a big sell to recruits, especially in other sports. A lot of people here think NIL is going to be the end of the world, but it will be helpful for UNC.
Some of these kids have 100,000 + followers on Twitter or Instagram in high school. Zion had a million I think, that gets you paid big time with advertising 5+ grand a month, they never could cash in on that like every other kid with their followers before.
Yep... UNC sells a LOT of gear and apparel!
Yeah, social media will probably be the biggest driver of NIL money. You'll see a lot of the lesser known players (think OL, blue steel, relief pitcher, etc) making decent money because of social media. A lot of the older people here (sorry, not sorry) think this is all about shoe money. That's not where the money is at nowadays. Nike won't be the big money maker for 99% of the kids.
That’s not what he said at all. He said coaching AAU or high school gives you better experience dealing with egos and putting players into their roles. Coaching JV at UNC youre coaching players that are going to do whatever the coach tells them to because theyre just happy to be playing
Actually, I think they could with agreement from both parties, the player and the school. Problem in the past was the school could not have names on the jersey because the player could not agree because they could not get consideration for that agreement. But moving forward the players will be in for a cut and the teams could add names on the back to go along with the names on the front. Now that the NCAA has dropped the NIL rules, they would not have a say in the matter unless the NCAA logo is on the jersey. I think this is how things will work and if so I would not see that as a problem.
Actually, that is exactly what he said, that he would prefer a high school or AAU coach over a guy that had only head coached the UNC JV team. Hubert had been an assistant at UNC for how long before he was named head coach so to suggest he has less experience handling the "attitudes" of college players is silly. Hubert's experience is way more applicable to what a head coach needs in order to direct a college program than pretty much any high school or AAU coach.
Most people realized this in early Nov 2016. Better late than never I guess.

Most every thread in time morphs away from what the OP began it to discuss so how is this one any different? When the SPORTS RELATED discussion of NIL comes up it is a sports topic, a basketball topic, a generational change in mindset topic, and yes it is as well a political discussion. Now maybe I missed it but I don't recall a post on this thread concerning infrastructure, don't see any mentions of military strikes, or the folks that invaded the White House with AK-47s and grenade launchers. No, it has been discussion about a topic that is directly related to this board.
The last four years weren't political, they were a S@#T reality show run by an undeniably personality disordered buffoon. That idiot my pillow guy would have made a better leader at least he was selling something that normal, sane people believe in.

4 things about this:
@David Sisk has said that according to sources that he trusts, there is basically a top 3 of UNC, Arizona, and Illinois. He isn’t announcing a list publicly, but David has done amazing work to get us that info.
