Collectives function in a variety of ways. The Tribe collective, the 1693 Alliance LLC negotiates deals with players in exchange for their service to community-based charities. Virginia has a new NIL law which may affect this as schools are now able to pay NIL money directly to players for promotion of athletic department events. Va Tech and UVA will be all over this but smaller schools like us may find it cheaper and more efficient to continue using external collectives. The 1693 Alliance has no employees and everyone involved in operations works as a volunteer. Overhead is held to less than 5%. We contract for website management which will launch very soon.
