A change could be coming for how BYU pays athletes, and its official NIL collective

The Royal Blue Collective leaders say they are in meetings about the future of the organization, and say even if it is brought in-house they will not be dissolved.

The Royal Blue Collective, BYU’s officially endorsed collective, has been operating outside the school’s purview since the inception of NIL. But with the landmark House vs. NCAA settlement looming — which would allow schools to pay athletes directly — there have been many meetings about what it would look like to bring NIL in-house.

“As the college athletics landscape continues to shift, we are committed to adapting and evolving in ways that best help our student-athletes,” BYU spokesperson said in a statement. But Comer believes that even if Royal Blue is brought in-house, the collective will not be dissolved. It would just change its duties.
