NIL coverage and deal chatter

We search for NIL, deal, endorsement, and collective coverage so actual player articles are more likely to surface here.

No fresh NIL-specific coverage turned up for Joey O'Brien. That usually means the range above is leaning more on roster context and school-level reporting than on newly published player-specific deal coverage.
