Great trip to Las Vegas for the 2026 @NACDA Convention, where leaders from across college athletics gathered to discuss the future of the industry.
Highlighted sessions included: Role of a General Manager, Revenue Generation, Alternative Business Strategies, and Athlete Support.
Representing @Fraction___, I participated in a @SBJ segment, @SilverWaveMedia event, @JewishCoaches breakfast, @Learfield event, and connected with athletic departments, brands, agencies, coaches, and search firms from around the country.
Three themes consistently stood out:
• The growing need for comprehensive support systems for athletes.
• The ability to adapt to market changes quickly.
• The importance of innovative, sustainable revenue-generating strategies for brands& teams.
The organizations that best support their people while embracing creative solutions will be best positioned for long-term success.
Grateful for the conversations, insights, and relationships built throughout the week. #NACDA #Fraction #NIL

The $2 million investment helped put him in the position he’s in today. Without those resources, opportunities, and guidance at 18 years old, it’s fair to ask whether he would have developed into the player he is now.
For him, the decision appears to have been worth it, and many players in a similar situation would likely make the same choice. The real issue arises when young athletes receive money without the proper support, mentorship, and long-term guidance. That’s when players can be taken advantage of and end up making decisions that aren’t in their best interests.
At the same time, investors only succeed when the athlete succeeds, so there is alignment in many cases. Ultimately, every deal is a cost-benefit analysis for all parties involved. There are good outcomes and bad outcomes in any investment structure. The difference often comes down to the people involved, the transparency of the agreement, and whether the athlete can trust the individuals in their corner.

Fernando Tatis Jr. has lost his lawsuit against Big League Advance.
Tatis was paid $2 million as a minor leaguer in exchange for 10% of his future earnings.
This was not a loan.
If Tatis didn't make it to the big leagues, he didn't have to repay the $2 million.
But Tatis did make it to the big leagues and later signed a 14-year, $340 million contract.
That meant Tatis owed Big League Advance $34 million.
Tatis had publicly praised Big League Advance, saying the $2 million allowed him to hire a personal trainer, upgrade his apartment, and eat better food.
But after realizing he owed $34 million in exchange for $2 million, Tatis sued the company, alleging that they used predatory tactics to lure him into an investment deal that was really an illegal loan.
The judge disagreed.
The agreement was upheld this week and Tatis was even ordered to pay Big League Advance’s legal fees.
This is a big deal because Big League Advance has signed deals with 700 athletes, including Elly De La Cruz (MLB) and Nolan Smith (NFL), across MLB, NFL, and college sports (think: NIL).
And now that the courts have ordered Fernando Tatis Jr. to follow through on the agreement, other potential legal challenges will likely go the same way.

NIL is still being valued the way endorsements were in 2005: gut feel, relationships, stale comps.
That doesn’t scale.
At Fraction we’re building toward something different — an AI-powered valuation layer that prices athlete value. Data in, signal out, repeat.
The brands who win the next five years won’t be the loudest in the room. They’ll be the ones with the cleanest data and the sharpest models. Coaches, Agents, Players, and Companies are all brands now.
Individuals wear multiple hats as operators, owners, advisors, and talent.
Brands create lasting value.

Free advice for players: if you’re juggling multiple Zoom calls, visits, and contracts at once—and being shopped around—you’re not being represented the right way. That’s how you lose leverage. The right approach is one opportunity at a time, handled professionally and privately—no tweets, no “lists.” This is business, not a game.

Private equity is entering college sports—and it’s going to fundamentally reshape the landscape.
As capital flows into the ecosystem, we’re seeing a restructuring of revenue streams across IP, trademarks, and multimedia rights. The result: significantly higher team valuations and a more sophisticated, institutional market.
But with that comes a critical need—proper underwriting.
Valuations in this space can’t be guesswork. They require a deep understanding of: Player value and market dynamics, Roster construction and optimization, Coaching impact and projected wins, Revenue generation across NIL, media, and commercial partnerships.
There is growing demand for operators who understand all sides of the market—on and off the court.
If you’re exploring opportunities in this space or want to better understand how this impacts your program, let’s connect.
I’m currently working with programs, investors, and stakeholders on: Fractional General Manager services, Player valuation and roster strategy, Capital alignment and introductions.
Feel free to reach out directly or message me to set up a call.

Tell the truth. Be transparent. Integrity matters. Your effort and attitude are the only things you fully control.
Too many people will tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear—misrepresenting their abilities to serve their own interests.
Know who’s real, and who’s in it for themselves.

Players — be careful who you listen to. If the person “representing” you doesn’t have an NBPA license, hasn’t actually negotiated NIL deals, and just tells you what you want to hear—especially around money—you’re being taken advantage of.
Your AAU coach, trainer, or high school coach should not be negotiating on your behalf. And someone with no real basketball experience, contract negotiation experience, or proper credentials isn’t qualified to represent you either.
A lot of people in this space are chasing money—not protecting your career.
