NIL prep for schools 'like building an airplane when you're flying"

Stephanie Rempe and a small group of staff members at LSU have spent several hours each day in June diving down a seemingly endless series of rabbit holes.

Rempe, who serves as the executive deputy director of athletics/chief operating officer of the LSU athletic department, pieced together a task force more than a year ago to prepare the Tigers for what she believes will be the most transformative change to hit college sports since Title IX arrived nearly a half century ago. Starting this Thursday, NCAA athletes will be allowed to make money by selling the rights to their names, images and likenesses (NIL).
