Gray jerseys

Instead of the 56 on the jerseys, make them available with the players numbers and give them a percentage…you know, like true NIL.
Are you sure? I know it was for years, but this is the very point of students being able to profit off their name, image, and/or likeness. We have no real star, but the idea of buying a jersey whose number corresponds to an actual player is much more appealing than one with an illegal number.
I’ll bet this is just Seton Hall doing what they’ve always done because it’s what they’ve always done.

i mean, it doesnt even have to correspond with a player. at least be an eligable number in the ncaa
fairly certain because in that case the NIL payments would come directly from the school, which seems to be the 1 rule
Not really my field, it it seems like they would come from the company that holds the license.
Retail/licensing isn't my field either so I could be wrong, but eithout a players union, I would think the cleanest/fastest way to sell jerseys with names would be for the school to facilitate it on top of its own license. I suppose the players could work directly with the license holder, but that would require each player doing so individually.
I thought one of the longstanding complaints is that the bookstore is operated by a third party company? In theory, wouldn't that company or,l say, UnderArmour, be the ones paying the kids in that case?
If they went back to selling #24 Jerseys with Terry’s name on it and he actually got a cut of it (you know, the spirit of what NIL is supposed to be!) I’d buy one in a second. A dumb number which no player would ever wear doesn’t move the needle for me. It’s why I still wear my Andre Barrett style #12 from 20 years ago. The fact that Chinese knockoff sites have a better selection of gear than our own bookstore and we’re being completely disowned by our alleged jersey sponsor that wants to drop us like a bad habit is a complete disgrace.
If the bookstore is run by an outside vender payments to the players would be fine, I'm not certain who owns the bookstore.
The bookstore is an outside vendor, Follette.
FWIW, the blue road jerseys look great this year.
A lot of crazy rules and agreements between the bookstore companies and the universities. The NIL is a joke, it’s exposing the corruption of the whole system. I work for a company that is licensed to sell inside the NCAA. I do not sell to the bookstores but rather to other depts inside the Universities like Admissions or Athletic. These depts. have to buy things not already available at the bookstores. The company I work for has a separate dept. who work solely on getting merchandise approved through Learfield who represents the universities brand and of course takes a cut.
Smaller companies and individuals good luck, hard enough with a massive company behind me. I’m going to check with my legal dept. to see if any of this NIL is actually being done through us.
