Now for Some Good News about DI Mid-Majors, DII, and DIII

Among the daily news reports of NIL chaos, I’m here to bring you some good news and optimism about Name, Image, and Likeness. Because in the midst of that “noise” (the information that interferes with our perception of NIL) are positive “signals” (the meaningful information) that can get us re-focused on supporting ALL student-athletes at all levels. And I’ve got the data to prove it.

Do I have a plan that would fix it? Yes :)
