The Royal Unveiling was in the midst of a week in the big news surrounding the tournament.
The competition will include a name, image and similarity (NIL) prize pool that will offer a $300,000 NIL package to the winning schools. The second-place school will receive a $100,000 package, and the two-digit semifinals will earn $50,000 through a vivid seat ambassador program.
“We are working to improve the student-athletes’ experience,” Fox Sports executive vice president Jordan Bazant said Tuesday. “College football has evolved in many ways. The basketball show doesn’t have the experience of a big game. We have 12 NBA teams participating in this game, and if you’re at an event, if you’re at an NCAA Championship or NIT, you won’t be able to send someone to every game.
“For our plan, this is their first game and the first week of 2025-26. It gives you a degree of year or the next step for the plan.”
