Still think you goto schools with the most dedicated Track resources like Arkansas or Oregon if you are serious about performance but still $6,000 doesnt hurt. Wonder if other schools will try to find similar deals for there athletes.

NIL is going to be good for athletes.
I'm assuming Smarty Streets or its founder has some connection to BYU?
Looks like there really isn't anything to stop any donor from just structuring their donation to the school as an NIL deal?
Gary Patterson the TCU football coach essentially called on boosters to do that saying, "In taxes, do you do short form or do you do deductions? I can promise you there’s nobody in this room that does the short form,. That’s what I’m talking about in recruiting. Everybody lives in the gray area. Everybody in this room lives in the gray area. The bottom line to it is we’re going to have to live in the gray area if we want to keep up.”
"BYU alumnus Jonathan Oliver founded SmartyStreets and currently works as its CEO and chief technology officer. He is also a fan of BYU Athletics and frequently attends games in Provo."

I don't know. For distance runners specifically, BYU is a very good choice. If you want to run for Diljeet Taylor (I certainly would, but I'm a bit biased), there's only one place to do that. I do think this will potentially help BYU recruit in other event groups, though. I imagine most of their scholarships are going to distance right now, and $6000 is effectively a full-tuition scholarship at BYU.

How in the world is this allowed?
There is no way te 10th walk on on xc is worth $6,000 individually in terms of an endorsement.
What happens if you get 15 companies to do this? Everyone makes $100,000?

You need to think a lot bigger. $6K is chump change. When it comes to endorsements, you think anyone cares if she's 1st or 20th on the team? I think we all know by now what sells.

Yeah, and BYU has a lot of it on the women's team...
re:companies, it is their money, so who cares
and they individual persons who can make choices in their life, so they can take the money according to rules
as is usual in these things all the hell breaks loose with dam breaking at first, then the river corrects it course and then flows as usual.

Loving the idea that an athlete's sponsorship value is linked to their talent or performance. As if every third tier American marathoner doesn't have a better shoe deal than Peres Jepchirchir or Ruth Chepnegetich
NILs will ruin NCAA athletics. We already have Alabama and Clemson buying football players with them. And now we got BYU women golfers getting $6K ?!? Stop the Insanity.

So does the 13th women on the XC team get $6000 as well? You might have kids coming out for XC just to try and get the cash.
And we haven't even seen what the big endowment schools are able to do? This is the end of collegiate athletics.

$90,000
Math is hard.
Mid majors are totally effed
In the mid-size media market in which I live, physical therapists and sport medicine doctors are hiring local D3 athletes for television commercials to promote their practices.

Alabama and Clemson were buying players way before NIL.
Maybe NCAA athletics needs to be ruined. Anyone who is against NIL is old and bitter.

No, nothing really going to change. All NILs are going to do is make the money above board instead of passed off on the darkness.
