2027 NIL GTM Playbook FOR Third-party NIL Marketplace Partnerships

A 60-Minute Athletics Staff Working Session — what is the 2027 NIL GTM playbook for third-party NIL marketplace partnerships at Eastern Kentucky before 2027 bowl season donor activation

Why Run This Session

Collectives and athletics staff lose what is the 2027 NIL GTM playbook for third-party NIL marketplace partnerships at Eastern Kentucky before 2027 bowl season donor activation when offers and donor promises live in group texts instead of a shared pipeline the AD and collective GM can inspect before the portal opens.

This session forces each lead to apply the 2027 NIL GTM playbook on one real athlete or donor target—offer tier, disclosure status, and next touch dated—before the next recruiting weekend.

Without a working artifact, portal weeks become panic spending. Donors hear conflicting stories; compliance gaps surface after announcements.

Room rule: No logged offer sheet or donor stage tonight means no new public NIL commitment until the collective president signs off.
