Do you know whether contractually the athlete can be penalized if he were to transfer to an Adidas school (clawback NIL paid out already) or would they just void the contract?Adidas allows their NIL athletes to go other branded schools, so does NB….Nike doesn’t. It’s part of the stipulations b/c they’ll be fully marketed by Nike. It’s kinda hard to market a player in their rivals equipment.
Nike looks at today & tomorrow w their NIL, while Adidas & NB only focuses on tomorrow. Hence Nike took a shot at NB w Cooper w a tagline “powered by Nike” & NB’s rebuttal was you may have him today, but we’ll have him forever. (Paraphrasing)
So it’s best we focus on others.
