College Football Coaches Have Some NIL Concerns
Todd Berry, executive director of the American Football Coaches Foundation, joined the podcast to discuss the concerns football coaches across the country as name, image and likeness legislation is passed at the state level and proposed at the national level and within the NCAA.
There were a lot of interesting nuggets in this one, including:
- What recruits are already asking football coaches
- How boosters are getting involved in NIL and why it's concerning
- Why you can't talk about NIL without also talking about potential changes to the transfer rules
- How NIL rights may return college football to some of the behavior seen in the 1970s and 1980s
- How and why farm teams might emerge in college football
- The impact of NIL in the locker room
- ...and more!
Todd Berry coached college football for over 30 years including head coaching jobs at Illinois State, Army and Louisiana-Monroe. An Oklahoma native and graduate of Tulsa, Berry took over directorship of AFCF on March 1, 2016.
