The long-time women’s basketball coach noted that the overwhelming majority of NIL money from collectives was going to men’s sports, particularly football and men’s basketball. VanDerveer said this situation threatens the spirit of Title IX, designed to ensure equitable funding to men and women’s sports.

The long-time Stanford head coach also mentioned that in the world of NIL, college sports has become a transactional space where athletes are less invested in programs for values’ sake and more interested in how much money they will get.

“I am a basketball coach, and now I have to be a CEO,” VanDerveer said.

While the 46-year collegiate head coach said that the current NIL landscape was a “definite negative” when contemplating whether to return to coaching or retire, she believes that collectives are here to stay.
