You are missing the bigger picture, MU is working with their athletes to allow them to sell images that includes MU marks.  That's not insignificant.

It's actually a very big deal. I wonder if someone -- BTD NIL perhaps -- is paying MU to allow athletes to use the MU mark on their own merchandise. Would it be a NCAA violation if MU gave that right to the athletes for free? Are there still "NCAA violations" at all when it comes to athlete compensation?

NCAA Interim Guidelines:

https://www.ncaa.org/news/2022/10/26/media-center-di-board-approves-clarifications-for-interim-nil-policy.aspx

"Schools also can support their enrolled college athletes in NIL activities directly by providing stock photos or graphics to either a student-athlete or an NIL entity or arranging space on campus for an entity and student-athlete to meet. Schools cannot, under the interim policy, provide free services (graphic designers, tax preparation or contract review) to student-athletes unless those services are available to the general student body, nor can schools offer equipment (cameras, graphics software or computers) to student-athletes to support NIL activities, unless that equipment is also available to the general student body."

Note that no MU logos are on Tyler's merchandise.

False! MU does not work with SAs to broker deals. MU CANNOT negotiate deals. MU requires prior approval from all companies who seek to use MU athletics logos.
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

I never said brokering deals I said they are working with them to allow of use of school marks and they are working with them to amplify the message.

As far as how NIL is working in the real world (not the NCAA's imagination), my daughter's good friend is a second string DB for an AAC school. He gets $40k a year, doesn't know exactly where it comes from and has never been asked to endorse anything or work for any of the money.

Nope

#FakeNews #Lies

They do indeed have a joint post, and the post links directly to the Marquette NIL Shop that is selling Tyler Kolek gear. Lens did not say that Marquette University is selling Tyler Kolek gear, but he was 100% accurate in saying "Marquette & Tyler have a joint post up selling Tyler gear.  The shirts features action shots of TK in MU uniform."

It's all about diagramming sentence structure.

Marquette & Tyler is the subject. To have is the verb and joint post is the direct object. Selling Tyler gear is the action of the direct object, not Marquette and not even Tyler. Lens was correct.

If it were only shared by the marquette.nil.store and tagged marquette.basketball I would agree. But that's not the case. It was shared by the Marquette Basketball account. That directly means Marquette Basketball made a post selling Tyler Kolek gear. If you go to Marquette Basketball and scroll their individual feed that post is there whether you follow marquette.nil.store or not. I know you're trying to be pedantic, but in this case you're simply wrong.

They are, at the very least, endorsing and promoting the NIL Store.

No one here ever said they did. Who wrote it is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

So, when you claimed that Marquette “directly” “made a post”, you were simply agreeing with me that they ok’d a collaboration post authored by a third party? Great!

Sadly, some find that aspirational.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Once you realize he is repressed and closeted, probably due to his overbearing religious upbringing, his posts make a lot more sense.
