Summary

Rising Spear – the organization dedicated to creating NIL opportunities for Florida State athletes – launched its revamped website earlier this week. The initial response has been positive from the FSU fan base. But given that NIL is still a new endeavor in the wild, wild west of college football, we understand that there are questions or areas of clarity that are still needed. With that in mind, Director at Rising Spear Matthew Quigley and Advisor with Rising Spear Rashida Gayle join Noles247’s On The Bench podcast to take listener questions. Quigley and Gayle answer questions, provide clarity, and explain the long-term goals/objectives for Rising Spear.
