La Salle’s NIL collective, the “Blue Chip Club” hasn’t done a thing. I emailed them and got no response. Can anyone shed some light as to why they’re non responsive?

id this the same as the Blue Chip Club references above or different? This looks like you can contribute to any sport at La Salle where I thought the Blue Chip Club was just basketball. I'm surprised this is a tax-exempt entity and contributions are considered charitable donations. Seems like they will be competing with the universiry for athletic donations. Are the people running this getting paid and taking a percentage off the to keep.Exorers United in business? Who's contributing $50 a month to get an autographed poster? The new world order is upon us. |

Contributions to the Blue Chip Club are tax deductible but as I understand it the most the BCC can give to any athletic is 15k |

Suggest the mods move the new NIL to a separate thread. If fans are cool with donating, why not spread the word instead of having it sit in the Hawk nil thread

I read the FAQ incorrectly on my phone about the charitable deduction. It did say a business can use a player to promote a product, and as such take a deduction on the business expenses of their membership. |

Glitter, I think Blue Chip was early days stuff and the Explorers United is the NIL going forward. That's what I hear.

Would love to see an email from the athletic department endorsing or even mentioning which NIL to direct funds to. There are many creative ways to do this if they don't want to provide an outright press release.

I think Joe is generally right on this but it may be more of a best practice principle (like a Church and State separation) rather than an express prohibition. Things are evolving generally at both the NCAA and state law level. Given this many schools take a conservative approach on this.

We talked about this here, and I posted an email from Villanova's AD where he sent links to their NIL collective on their letterhead. I've seen things that say schools can't be involved, but then I've seen things coming from schools, so it seems like the wild west explorertown.proboards.com/post/129880/threadEnded up watching the 30-for-30 on the SMU "death penalty" for their football program over the weekend where their recruits signed contracts and were paid. Forty yeas later - just give them NIL money and it's all legal to entice them to come to the school now. |

A tweet mentioning the existence of an NIL is not the same as an email directing which NIL to donate to, which is what was proposed above.

A tweet mentioning the existence of an NIL is not the same as an email directing which NIL to donate to, which is what was proposed above. It’s fine. Brian Baptiste and the entire coaching staff was at the first NIL meeting. They just can’t be involved day to day. Nova probably pushing it but the regulations are so unclear I’m sure following SJU approach is fine. In terms of the NIL, I’m not in love with the structure but happy a couple distinguished alumnis took it forward. |

Glad La Salle has acknowledged the NIL, all you need to do is signal the NIL group is legitimate. I’ve seen emails, press releases, other social media mentions at numerous other schools. There is so much gray area and differences in state laws that this is certainly fine. It’s not as if La Salle is going to brazenly dare enforcement like Miami, Arkansas, Texas A&M and others.

They don't run them anywhere unless alumni at the school have funded it. |

Our site is essentially the same as St. Joe's and Duquesne's with the same content and benefits listed (email contact about making deals with them is the same person for both us and the Hawks). Was wondering who "runs" it for La Salle or who set t up with them? Could the athletic department do it?
Duquesne's NIL Mission:
Red and Blue Collective leverages the collective power of the alumni and fans to equip student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary for them to excel both during and beyond their time in Pittsburgh. More importantly, we seek to help student-athletes maximize their NIL opportunities the right way, without ever compromising the values of the Duquesne University and the legacy of all those who have donned the Red and Blue in the past.
St. Joe's NIL Mission:
Hawk Hill Alliance leverages the collective power of the alumni and fans to equip St. Joe’s University student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary for them to excel both during and beyond their time in Philadelphia. More importantly, we seek to help student-athletes maximize their NIL opportunities the right way, without ever compromising the values of Saint Joseph’s University and the legacy of all those who have donned the Crimson and Gray in the past.
La Salle's NIL Mission:
Explorers United leverages the collective power of the alumni and fans to equip student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary for them to excel both during and beyond their time in Philadelphia. More importantly, we seek to help student-athletes maximize their NIL opportunities the right way, without ever compromising the values of La Salle University and the legacy of all those who have donned the Blue and Gold in the past.
It looks like they take 10-15% off the top of any contributions to play the cut-and-paste game. They are not a 501c3, so this is now a for-profit entity.
History repeats itself. Just like the gold rush - very few prospectors made money, but the guy who sold the shovels and equipment to all the prospectors laughed all the way to the bank. He made money whether they did or didn't strike gold.

Does anyone have any idea how much money the Collective has and also the status of the Blue Chip Club.

Wojo committing $50K to the Bonnies NIL collective. We need these types of commitments to La Salle basketball.

I'm sure they promised Woj he'd be the successor to Schmidt.
