How is a walk-on going to generate revenue? By doing something sportsy that gains attention. Unfortunately, I think it is based upon the number of "Views" and "Followers" not exactly how good someone is on the respective playing field. In today's society, we know what sells and it isn't always performance-related.

....OnlyFans. Only a matter of time before someone does it, right? It is already happening, I know stories of a few girls that have resorted to this as college athletes, and from my understanding it has previously put their coaches in a seriously uncomfortable position about how to address it or if they were breaking any rules. I should edit to say these stories have come from scholarship cheerleaders and Gymnastics women. 330 division 1 volleyball programs. 15 athletes per team. I’d bet at least one of those 5,000 young women has an onlyfans.

The NCAA should be ashamed of themselves for all the kids they threatened ineligibility with for having successful twitch or YouTube channels while they were scraping by to even get McDonalds breakfast. Old school journalism is dying, you want to reach an audience you need to be original and create content that will keep someone engaged. That is why TikTok or IG reels can be so addicting, 30 second clips then on to the next one, you like the creator of something you just watched you click on the profile and run through their feed.

I can tell you for a fact, there is one SEC gymnastics program with multiple creators and have been told there are way more from a variety of sports doing it very low key posting their links on reddit and/or wearing masks and other things to conceal their identity.

I take it from the context that you are all trying to talk around the idea that college kids might be engaging in sex work? That's nothing new.

Right, but instead of sucking on some old booster balls in the suit up the street, they now can do it to a much larger reach.

In today's society, we know what sells and it isn't always performance-related. Maybe. But if you're a walk-on DS who served a huge run and helped win a conference match, your name's going to be in the news for a week, and that could get you a quick sponsorship. Same with a walk-on kicker winning a game (which happened at Nebraska in 2019) and you have some instant fame - that can be parlayed into a few bucks under NIL. It may not be much money, and it may not be for long, but it's more than anyone was getting before.

Right, but instead of sucking on some old booster balls in the suit up the street, they now can do it to a much larger reach. Is any of this involuntary? What’s to stop an average student from doing something like that? If an average student is allowed to, is it devastating that an athlete can now too? If we’re worried about this affecting team chemistry, then shouldn’t a coach work to recruit kids who won’t affect team chemistry with it (by not recruiting players who will do it, or only recruiting players who won’t care about it)? I think it creating jealously between teammates over who gets offered the endorsement by a local business is completely different than it allowing SAs to engage in sex work. I suppose I’m definitely naive, but I would hope the percentage involved in those two scenarios are drastically outweighed by the SAs that can now create a popular YouTube channel based on their sport, or get rent money from a local business deal.

http://instagram.com/p/CQy9J0FngTD In case you were wondering, here's Addie Johnson's roster bio: "Played in 15 of JSU’s 18 matches during the 2021 spring season following the Covid-19 pandemic…percentage-wise had her best hitting season with a .223 clip, but just 37 kills…played a reserve role for the best offense in the OVC that season, winning 15-straight matches to begin the year…helped JSU capture its second-straight conference championship...finished the season with 28 digs and five blocks." And here's why she's barstool's first NCAA athlete: http://instagram.com/p/CJm7MAPlzwY

Not that Rickie Fowler and former Cal pole vaulter Allison Stokke need the $$$, but she would have broke the bank. The NIL deals will have some interesting marketing wrinkles for sure.

Let's be honest. If a college athlete can open up an "only fans" account and make money off it by posting lingerie photos and such... more power to them.
Sure, it's a bunch of fifteen year olds with their parents' credit card (and skeevy old men), but hey...

I wonder if a walk-on who is a big influencer can also actively use their position to keep their position on the team. Having 100,000 fans on social media is like free publicity/marketing for the entire team. (Or it could be) Kind of like how walk-ons have high grades.
