It would appear there is going to be an announcement (later today?) that someone is going to begin selling official Brotherhood apparel. There seems to be some speculation that it is a NIL-type operation that will put money in the pockets of Duke players.
A website has been launched, though you need a password to get into it at this time: https://thebrotherhood.live/
Also, the DukeMBB twitter account tweeted this a short time ago:

I hope these aren't NFT trading cards
I'd definitely buy a white and blue brotherhood jersey. One of the fake ones I ordered from China last Christmas never came...
They also need to make a black one to complete the set.
Or Brotherhood cryptocurrency!Quote:

So wouldn’t this require some sort of licensing by the University. If so, is that permitted? I actually think this is a good idea but seems to go against the scant guidance that the NCAA has provided.
Sounds too much like Klepto Kurrency imo.Quote:

Wow, big pass from me on the $300 bundle that gets your a cheaply made t-shirt and a magazine. I was hoping for a bit more. Hopefully more will be added later.
I'm glad that Duke is doing things to increase NIL revenue. I get the feeling that Duke won't be able to get big time $ NIL deals for its players, even though we talk about how the Duke brand is huge, and Duke is perfectly positioned to maximize NIL deals. Nijel Pack got an $800,000 deal from LifeWallet to play for Miami. I'm guessing we won't hear of things like that for Duke players. How does it actually work? The school can't pay you to come play for them, but private businesses can?
Yes, that is exactly how it works.Quote:

I would refrain from making any suggestion that Duke won't prosper in the New World Order. I think there's a lot yet to be decided as far as what recruiting will look like in the next 5-10 years, and Duke seems to be in a better position than most.
I didn't want to create a new thread, but this 'Brotherhood' thing is catching on it seems...
