I remember growing up in a house full of cousins, constantly running around and competing in various sports.\u00a0 Cookouts, tailgates, and quality time is centered around sporting events. So, for many, it is a dream to play sports at the highest levels in front of family and friends.\u00a0 I was fortunate enough to get the chance and have some insight on how to get there.\u00a0 Yet, the recruitment process is different for everyone, and the impact social media has had on recruiting is unprecedented.\u00a0 I would like to focus my research for this semester on collegiate recruiting, mainly for football and basketball.<\/p>\n
At the start of the summer, an NIL agreement was accepted by the NCAA for collegiate athletes, allowing them to profit off their name, image, and likeness.\u00a0 My friends and I, although already behind the curve, wanted to start a business to help young recruits get to their dream school and work with top athlete on the business side of the sports.\u00a0 However, recruiting is a big part of signing athletes, and the business is built on the idea of attracting young athletes to trust us to handle their projects and profits.\u00a0 The end goal is to recruit not just athletic talent, but all types of artistic and athletic talent.\u00a0 In order to do so, I\u2019d like to start with getting to know more about the collegiate recruiting process.<\/p>\n
I would like to measure several units, but the main one being dollar amounts.\u00a0 I have heard stories from my dad, and other ESPN\u2019s Thirty for Thirty specials that indicate big dollar amounts in recruiting violations.\u00a0 I want to study money allocations to these student athletes and study the new disparity collegiate athletes will have with the new NIL agreement.\u00a0 Some more well-known recruits will have access to larger resources than others.\u00a0 How does this disparity effect college sports as a whole?<\/p>\n
The goal is to be a little more familiar with the recruiting process; what attracts young recruits; how to seek good recruits that will make great use of their NIL; and finally how can I use this information to kick start a talent agency?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
