I’m curious what the role and activities of the advisory board are. And if there’s someone who’s behind the scenes that made this whole thing go.
Also would help to know what type of deals they’re imagining of providing. What’s their goal? Are they more focused on providing a “base” salary for athletes across all sports ? Just football & basketball ? Are they more focused on providing big dollars to attract high end recruits/ transfers ?

Knights of The Raritan / #KTR - Rutgers' First & Only NIL Launch
All- As we’ve teased over the last two weeks, a group of RU fans is excited to announce the launch of RU’s first and only NIL program - Knights of The Raritan, or KTR. Below should answer several questions up front, but I am happy to field any others. In addition, the website also provides an...rutgers.forums.rivals.com

Seems well done and thought out.

It's a fair question. I am certain it's a question school administrations don't like being asked. Personally, I am hopeful fans will be able to carve a little bit more out of their budgets in order to support both. I recognize that's a tall order for many folks. Thankfully we have one of the largest alumni fan bases in the world... small dollars en masse will yield huge results for both KTR and the school.I love and hate this.
Love that the RU community came together and got this done.
Hate that it has come down to this. Do I stop my donations to the school and now start contributing to this instead?
I was told by many NIL wouldn't impact Rutgers atletic department revenue and it wouldn't impact other sports. I fully expect some people to divert their regular donations in to funds that indirectly play players.I love and hate this.

Great job Jon. Would be cool as part of this project to also offer some education on marketing, etc to the athletes. If that ever becomes a thing, I’m happy to volunteer.I'm here and around all day. I think the Fonseca and Carino stories do an awesome job of explaining what we are up to.
No, we are not a 501c3 organizationQuestion, are my contributions tax deductible?
I hope they aren't bringing a knife to a gunfight.I'm happy to the launch of this, but I'm very curious what the participation rate would be here. With our history of non-giving to our university and its athletics programs, I would expect that would carry over here and we'll have the smallest fund in the B1G. I hope I am wrong though.

Not sure what your emoji is supposed to connote, but I suspected some RU fans are going to have negative reactions. NIL is here. RU fans either need to get on board, or watch RU get left behind. There will be a contingent of protesters and people stamping their feet. If you don't have anything nice to say, maybe don't say anything at all.
