 Wasn't that the job already of Malia Bates handling NIL? What is her role exactly if not assisting with NIL?   

My impression and guess from reading the GoStanford descriptions is that Bates oversees more "ground-level" NIL issues - helping players identify and build  sponsor relationships/deals and developing related marketing/outreach opportunities - while Tempie will oversee actual NIL allocations and assess impacts on actual recruiting and offer/roster management from a program level, strategic perspective.  Guessing Tempie (and Kate) will also be more involved with cultivating relationships with big $ donors. The difference between the job scopes seems clear to me, and I'm guessting this is probably consistent with how FB and MBB are operating.
