    I don't expect Duke to treat the NIL situation any different, and fully expect the school to do whatever they can to protect their #1 cash cow.
    My interest hasn't been the same in the last ten years or so, if I'm completely honest. I can absolutely see a path that would leave me checking in around February to see what was happening. That would be a break from the attention paid over the last 35 years.

    it will be interesting to see with K gone and NIL whether duke will be able to support the current donation levels for season tickets moving forward.

    If the team is a middle of the pack ACC team most years, then I suspect it will be quite difficult to keep prices where they have been. If Scheyer can continue to field a team that regularly competes for ACC and National Titles then I am confident demand (and ticket prices) will remain quite high. I strongly suspect that, despite a few grumblings, success on the court will easily trump small pockets of disinterest due to NIL and other changes.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Think B-ball remains as top level team; assuming Scheyer is not the new Bucky. However, Duke football another story. If reasonable booster restrictions aren’t in place; we’re not competing with Cheats, Pack, UVA and other mid level P5 teams.

    Would we (and others) then leave ACC in football, which in turn minimizes $$ for non-revenue sports? Some booster restrictions are absolutely needed IMHO.

    Based on our country's track record in other areas (which shall not be named, so as to avoid PPB concerns), not many.

    I see this differently than most NIL has nothing to do with Duke in the sense that the player needs access to Duke's intellectual property. It is about the individuals and their "brands". I know a couple of state laws allow the schools to take some of the money, but the odds than any will are low. The repercussions would be too big.

    This is not about uniform sales. The money is coming because they wil generate money through their social media accounts. Companies will sponsor or advertise and the player will get paid. Also there can be a "Pablo Banchero" on a video game for which he gets compensated. If they put a Duke jersey on him that's a completely independent deal with the school, it doesn't effect the player at all.
    Someone wants too put their picture on a t-shirt that is a certain shade of blue? Go ahead and get paid. Again, the word "Duke" may be relevant to the school and the t-shirt manufacturer, but that's not part of the player's ability to monetize his or her NIL.

    There will obviously be an effect depending on the player, the sport, and the school, but I believe the Duke brand is going to continue to be one that helps boost the player's independent, but related brand.

    Salaries are still not allowed and while many are advocating for it, that's another issue for another day.

    Much of the NIL revenue will be from the new NFT marketplace. For those unfamiliar, this stands for Non-Fungible Token. Several notable celebrities have announced their participation in NFT platforms such as Tom Brady's Autograph. An NFT is a digitalized registration of an image or a physical item, using a blockchain to document the creator, the buyer and any sales of usage rights. Entertainers and athletes are starting to sell songs, photographs, art, signatures, jerseys, etc. using NFT's. I believe that NFT's will be the centerpiece of the NIL world.

    Is is possible that boosters might become involved in this world? Perhaps to provide monetary incentive to attend a particular school?




    Asking for a friend who would like to give deserving young athletes a boost.

    Anyone can buy an athletes NFT's. I imagine there will need to be restrictions and disclosures to meet existing rules on support.

    Just as Eddie Cameron visioned the Atlantic Coast Conference, Duke can be the lead in a new confederation. The Patriot League model can be fine tuned and applied in Duke’ s region. As the leading private university in the region, indeed, Duke has this responsibility. We all know who to include: Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, etc. This approach is more consistent with the university values than the folly of continued competition with Power Five public state universities. Their athletic departments are influenced too much by external interests.

    I would too. But that would require Duke to leave piles and piles of money on the table.

    I don’t think you can open the flood gates just a little. Your kidding yourselves if you think NIL money is going to come mostly from players’ intrinsic value on social media. The money will come from boosters and fans of the school. The winners will be the schools whose fans and boosters can bundle the most sales revenue for the players. Most players will see a sharp decrease in their “NIL” income after their NCAA careers end. Recruiting commitments will be replaced by contracts.

    I'm wondering or perhaps hoping that Duke will upgrade the non-conference home schedule to make sure supporters remain highly motivated to cough up big bucks for season tickets in Cameron.

    I think you’re right. Like fantasy football, I don’t understand the appeal of pulling for mercenaries but people will watch.

    One semester PHD program in “Sports Preparation”? Nah that will probably be legal compensation.

    Is the thought here that boosters would provide avenues of NIL opportunity for out "student-athletes"? Sorry, I'm a little late to the discussion here. I'm otherwise confused how school boosters would come in to play, since new NIL legislation, I don't believe, is license to hand out wads of cash to players.

    I don't believe NFTs will be the centerpiece of anything. Some people might, and have made a quick buck on them, but the market is currently demonstrating there is little interest in their long term value...since they have no intrinsic value.
