The guys talk Halloween and their favorite candy (or lack thereof?) before outlining how brands and collectives (and one day schools?) can manage contracts with the looming almighty transfer portal. Braly brings up a topic that everybody loves and breaks down the ramifications of the election, specifically regarding NIL and college sports. Closing out with COVER X™, Daniel highlights the surge in NIL positions at non-football schools, Braly ponders Power 4/5 contract templates, and Mike once has alcohol on the brain: this time specifically a new bourbon for The Pengiun Collective. Hosted by Braly Keller, Daniel Pearson, and Mike Murakami. Recorded on November 7, 2024.

In a week that saw Front Office Sports publish a deep dive on NIL Directors, the guys hopped on a call with Grayson Wagner, Director of NIL Strategy with Kansas Athletics (and former Opendorse team member), to discuss his role with the Jayhawks. Then on everyone's favorite segment COVER X™, Mike talks about Marquette's pledge-per-three campaign, Daniel abides with a UConn bowl game, and Braly breaks down an upcoming legal decision with potential impact on international student-athletes. Hosted by Braly Keller, Daniel Pearson, and Mike Murakami. Recorded on October 31, 2024.

The Blitzers are back together again and focused on the Looming Question of the Week™: "How do Collectives, GMs, Coaches, and Schools determine how much is enough for an athlete’s NIL Compensation package?" (Make sure you take a look at the Budgets and Payments tool from Opendorse). Then an answer to the Shakespearean topic of "To Opt-In or Not To Opt-In?" That is definitely the question regarding the House Settlement and revenue sharing. Things wrap up with everyone's favorite segment...COVER X™ as Daniel talks about D'Amelio Huskies Collective's new partnership, Mike talks about tailgating/drinks + concessions (naturally), and Braly nerds out on some data (naturally). Hosted by Braly Keller, Daniel Pearson, and Mike Murakami. Recorded on October 24, 2024.
