“These pay-for-play collectives are not going to pass muster under Title IX,” says nationally renowned Title IX attorney Nancy Hogshead-Makar"
That's quite a name. Apparently the argument is there is no true separation of the NIL "collectives"/private organizations from the universities.
I would expect the lawyers constructed these collectives to avoid that specific problem.
Not to mention the high school QB trying to get $13 mill from Florida was his family doing a bad job for a 3* QB and bidding out his services and it got way out of hand. He flipped on $9 mill from Miami.The money that's being given for say, a $13 million dollar contract for a QB was money that was more than likely always going to be McDonald's bag money, not the check Ben Sutton is cutting for the Sutton center. There's some delta there as there are going to be people that are donating to say RTQ instead of Deacon Club, but the delta there more than likely isn't coming close to being significant enough to cut a program or even a scholarship. It's probably less detrimental than boosters having to put up money to hire/fire coaches especially with how contracts are these days and everyone wants their money up front versus NIL deals which, from the ones I've seen, aren't an up front lump sum.
If the athletics department needs to raise money, they'll still be able to do it just fine and not miss their goals. One could argue that people putting money into NIL actually ends up being a benefit to the department: better players should = better teams, better teams should = more wins + more tickets sold + more money from postseason play.
Her Wikipedia page doesn't say she's a Wake grad. BA Duke, JD Georgetown.She is a Wake grad and I believe was once part of a DC politically connected law firm. If there is a way to make a Title IX case, she will find it. One possible group of plaintiffs: women who don't get NIL money and lose scholarship funds because the NIL payments go to obscure individuals on men's teams.
