I listened to Klieman today thought his response on NLI was interesting
The NIL conversation is centered around the bigger school but a school like Kansas State has players we are all very familiar with. At a school like Kansas State, do you see it as a disadvantage for NIL like its being presented or an opportunity for guys who are producing?
Two things on that. For one thing, I'm all for kids being able to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness, if they can make some money doing something, I'm all for it. They deserve it.
Second part of it is I think Manhattan is a home run for Name, Image and Likeness. We are the main story in town. Kansas State University and our athletic department and our kids are out in the community in all of our sports.
So if a kid comes to Manhattan, everybody is going to know him in that community and he's going to have a lot of opportunities. So for kids that think that you have to go to the big market areas, I disagree. I think Manhattan is a gold mine for NIL.
