Will NIL collectives become common in D2 and D3?
With NIL collectives becoming prevalent at most NCAA Division I schools, DCTF asked coaches how long until collectives become prominent among Division II and Division III institutions.
Discussion on Name, Image, and Likeness collectives has dominated sports headlines since California became the first state to pass a law allowing athletes to profit off their NIL on Sept. 30, 2019. By the end of October 2019, 20 more states were considering NIL laws similar to California.
A NIL collective is typically founded by alums and supporters of a university and operates independently of the school while funding NIL opportunities for the athletes. Currently, there are at least 205 NIL collectives, according to On3.com.
