[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 817271, member: 2426"] So I really don't understand what you are getting at. You said that students don't make money from research at GT. I stated that students do indeed make money from GTRI. (It is probably mostly graduate students, but GTRI employs plenty of students.) Then you asked if they can now get NIL deals. What I pointed out is that ONLY student-athletes had been prevented from NIL deals in the past. If a student at Georgia Tech develops an audience on social media, they can make money and the school isn't going to stop them. Would Nike pay more money to have a student-athlete advertise for them, sure. Which student would provide more advertising value to Nike? If there was a student at Georgia Tech whose pop band became popular, or who made it to the finals of AGT, they could probably market themselves for ad dollars also. What does that have to do with the fact that non-athletes have always had the ability to market themselves? [/QUOTE]
