Name, Image and Likeness era has overtaken collegiate athletics like nothing we've ever seen before. What's exactly is it? What is it all about? You hear more about NIL these days than games and scores. It's creating a whole new landscape to collegiate sports, and some say it may not be for the better, and others are fully on board.
There has been so much written and said about the Name, Image, and Likeness legislation in collegiate athletics, it was high time we tried to understand it. Former Michigan player Jared Wangler, and the son of Wolverine legend John Wangler is right in the middle of the NIL explosion. As a matter of fact, he is implementing payments, and NIL deals for Michigan athletes. So what is it all about. It seems to most of us in my generation that the money is flowing freely to college athletics, and the idea of amateurism may be a thing of the past. To get to the bottom of it, and understand the nuts and bolts of the new world we live in, Jared Wangler is the perfect guest. He has landed in the NIL world on the ground floor. He's already seen it change and morph into something he's still trying to adapt and adjust to on the fly. It's a new and interesting trip into the NIL universe, enjoy the trip as we do our best to explain NIL in my Conversation with...Jared Wangler
