The NIL NorthStar Playbook Podcast
Guiding Parents and Athletes Through the New Age of NIL, Recruiting, and Reality.
Hosted by Marc Nolan, the nation’s longest-serving kicking and punting coach — and the man who’s helped over 4,000 athletes earn more than $275 million in scholarships in several high school sports
Marc first learned the power of a NorthStar during his Army days — when that single light guided him and his team out of the swamp and back to solid ground.
Now, he uses that same guiding principle to help parents and athletes navigate the swamp of today’s recruiting world — the confusion, the hype, the NIL chaos — and find clarity, direction, and integrity.
Each episode blends humor, hard truth, and heart — tackling NIL, the transfer portal, recruiting realities, communication skills, and mental resilience.
Because in this new Wild West of college athletics, you don’t need a spotlight —
you need a NorthStar.

Hey Everyone! Its 2023 and with the Mafia/Cartel style in the NCAA and its Directives and Collectives (the Don's) we take a NEW and exciting turn for a New Year. This episode is to help those new found College athletes get as much money as they can from the NIL Lawyers, consultants and Brand managers breathing down their backs of their jerseys! Finally we take a somewhat funny (and at times sarcastic view) of the NCAA and why Walter Byers must be turning over in his grave.

As we enter into another year of the NCAA's attacks on the HS athletes and their Parents this podcast will uncover just how they are running a Mafia style organization. We'll go over all the rule changes designed to ONLY Assist the College Student-Athlete and take them head on! We'll go into what I coined The Transfer Portal Trickle Down Theory and how ONLY the college player, coaches and the NIL Directives and Collectives are hurting the HS athlete-and why they don't care!

As current high school athletes and their parents struggle to try to understand the dynamics of the recent NCAA decisions, we look at ways to help from our 47 years of experience. It is clear the NCAA has laid down the gauntlet of helping" the current college athletes out, while hurting more and more high school student athletes in the hunt for those athletic scholarships.

This is our four part series, entitled SPORTS PARENTS UNIVERSITY where each week the listener will be able to glean some knowledge (and yes get made a bit of fun at your expense) into the world of the High School Parent from Freshman Year through Senior year of a child's sports endeavors.
We cover our 47 years of coaching, managing, being a ref and umpire as well as a League President of several different sports (and a "recovering Sports Parent of two former Athletes- one who became an All-American D-1 Football player).
So as they say, sit back and enjoy this second part of the SPORTS PARENTS UNIVERSITY (SOPHOMORE SERIES). Coach Marc Nolan
