Colorado Makes Major Change to NIL Collective Amid Shifting NCAA Rules

Colorado is adapting to the ever-changing environment of name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, as the program looks to get ahead of the House v. NCAA settlement.

Athletic director Rick George sent a mass email to Buffaloes fans detailing the upcoming changes to their partnership with 5430 Alliance. Even though Colorado and 5430 Alliance have only been partners for less than 10 months, the school has decided to drop the NIL collective.

Colorado’s athletic program isn’t the only one stepping away from their collectives, especially in the wake of the upcoming House v. NCAA settlement.
