I've had a bunch of folks ask me whether this ruling will have an impact on how Knights of The Raritan operates moving forward.
The short answer is a combination of "not sure" and I don't think this changes our philosophy of focusing on retention and collaborating with Rutgers coaches on their needs. I don't think we want to negotiate directly with HS players or transfers. We leave that communication up to coaches and staffs.
What is not addressed directly in this ruling is whether this will now allow Rutgers Athletics collaborate more directly with KTR on promoting NIL and the collective's efforts.
We have been working through this with Athletics staff but they are limited on what they can do based on the current NCAA guidelines. If this eliminates those guidelines then it could open up more ways for us to work together. This could include things like them being able to directly promote our campaigns, offering co-branded members benefits, etc.
Stay tuned.
