In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Brad Heinrichs, the CEO of the Swarm, to discuss the ever-evolving landscape of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations in college athletics. The conversation covers the history and development of NIL rules, the structural adjustments made by the Swarm to adapt to these changes, and the logistical challenges in getting NIL deals approved. They also touch upon specific examples involving college football athletes and the complexities around collective bargaining, antitrust issues, and how some schools maneuver to pay athletes. The discussion delves into the strategic decisions behind setting up nonprofit and for-profit arms of the Swarm and the future of NIL in college sports. The hosts also humorously explore potential large donors and share their thoughts on current betting picks for upcoming college football games.
