    Bama announces NIL center in house.

    As part of a new 15-year agreement with Alabama that it announced Tuesday, Learfield, in conjunction with the university, is creating a dedicated hub for name, image and likeness (NIL) called The Advantage Center, an epicenter for Crimson Tide athletes? NIL endeavors that the company believes is a first nationally. The Advantage Center, with a goal of opening this calendar year, will be located inside Bryant Denny Stadium and will double as the agency?s local office, says Learfield CEO Cole Gahagan.

    Learfield and Alabama plan to collaborate on the development of the center to provide both a physical home and a staff.


    ?To me, it was only a matter of time before we began to build an infrastructure around NIL. This is the next big step in that direction,? Gahagan says. ?There?s no company better situated than ours to facilitate NIL. We are connected to over 10,000 brands nationally and locally. We are in the best position to bring those brands into the ecosystem to help create relationships between companies and athletes.?

    So here is a company that has rights to 99 FBS teams going all in on 1 team... Bama.

    Something like this is what the intent of NIL was - allow players to make money via brand advertising opportunities. Learfield should be doing this with every team they are contracted with. Every ad for the jumbo tron or in a program should feature a player and they should get a cut. Yeah it sucks Bama gets it first, but if it works, Learfield will bring in way more money and opportunity then collectives because they control content and actually add value to marketing dollars for corporate sponsors.

    The issue here is they are not going to do that for others. They are all in with Bama.

    That is maybe the way NIL was drawn up but let's not kid ourselves. It has and always only about giving players money to play because they were getting taken advantage of was the narrative despite the tons of money and benefits, they were all getting. The perceived player discrimination was the issue at the core.
