The Drake Group Letter to U.S. Dept. of Education/Office for Civil Rights — Request for Issuance of Title IX Guidance Addressing Recruiting Practices of NIL Booster Collectives

The Drake Group, the sister organization of The Drake Group Education Fund, has communicated important information about NIL collectives to the Department of Education/Office for Civil Rights (DOE/OCR).  The Drake Group believes that the current NIL chaos can be relieved by DOE/OCR clearly and precisely warning institutions, their conferences and national governance organizations of their obligations under existing Title IX requirements, explaining how those requirements apply to these new NIL-related activities, and warning that actions by “collectives” will be attributed to the universities when appropriate.  The purpose of this letter is to request that the DOE/OCR take such action.
