South Orange, N.J. - G3 Marketing | ProCamps and the Team First Foundation (501c3), Seton Hall Athletics' primary operator of its NIL program, has launched a website, HallBallEvents.com, where fans of the Pirates can donate to support the events that Seton Hall student-athletes participate in to earn compensation for their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).

The mission of Hall Ball Events is to connect Seton Hall Athletics with the local community, achieved by delivering meaningful experiences through educational programs and sports related activities. Fans of Seton Hall student-athletes can now help support these events and help student-athletes maximize their NIL earning potential through one-time or monthly donations.

"We're excited that Hall Ball Events has launched a dedicated website where our fans can help support initiatives that bring in student-athlete NIL compensation and connect our programs with the community," said Bryan Felt, Seton Hall's Director of Athletics & Recreation. "Alongside the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund and the Opendorse Marketplace, this is another opportunity for Pirates fans across the globe to rally behind our student-athletes and help invest in their futures."

HallBallEvents.com now combines with the Opendorse Marketplace, which launched in November and gives fans and brands a place to pitch and secure NIL deals, and The Brandr Group partnership for group licensing to give Seton Hall student-athletes a wealth of options towards earning NIL compensation.

Progress. But amazing what happened to the original intent of NIL. This new world order is nuts.

Yup. It isn’t even “NIL”. It is fans being asked to put money directly in basketball players checking accounts.

I'm confused by this. A monthly donation to "support the events that Seton Hall student-athletes participate in," but no mention how frequent the events will be or even what they are?

College athletics is becoming one giant grift.

This just goes back to the "lack of transparency" that has been a topic du jour lately.

If the University itself were in a position to solicit for the donations same as they do for Seton Hall Fund or PirateBlue, I'd have much more faith in it as I know how their books are maintained, the oversight involved at the University, and that they are audited.

While I don't question anyone's integrity, I am offered no insight into the controls and oversight of this company nor am I offered any real insight into how and how much of the donations are going to the student athletes. Maybe a "fat cat" booster is afforded a little more concierge treatment and given a peel back behind the curtain on this stuff, but it sounds like the 9-to-5 ham'n'eggers like me are basically asked to fork over their money with a blindfold on.

The lesson here is: “Shut up and donate!”

Because it's just about getting money into the players' pockets. They'll find a way to funnel into these events.

How long before we see Biden introduce a bill to fund NIL for every program.

Biden derangement syndrome is real! 😂

What a stupid, pointless post that added nothing to this discussion.

Exactly. Why they don't just auction off game used equipment is beyond me.

Obviously. The concern is putting blind faith in endeavors with no transparency, which is what is being discussed.
