I would like to see an NIL Opportunities section, either its own section for all sports or a NIL section for each sport. NILs need exposure for people to contribute and CoogFans is a target audience.

With revenue sharing attempting to establish some equal footing, NIL Collectives are the way universities will be able to separate themselves from the pack. It is already happening. Anyone that thinks revenue sharing creates a level playing field is kidding themselves.
Yea it’s honestly meaningless. All it is is how much of the University’s own money they can spend on players. Sure it helps the bottom rung of teams that don’t have any boosters, but the rest of the teams still can’t compete with the likes of Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, or even now Texas Tech.
