Interim NIL approved

The more I think about it, the more I see this as the beginning of the end of amateur college athletics. Just wait until the global mega-corps start doling out endorsement deals to 17 year old football players.


Here's a question I have. If a kid wants to maximize his earnings in college and doesnt want his grades or sports performance to suffer, he might be best to hire a manager who can market the kid, make and sell the T-shirts, close the endorsement deals, etc. without the kid losing any time or energy on it. Correct me if Im wrong but isnt a kid automatically ineligible for NCAA play if they hire an agent?

The whole game fixin' ta change.

Next question. If a college kid on scholarship can profit from their NIL, can a kid in high school also profit from their NIL and still be eligible for NCAA play? If so, does that turn recruiting into a public auction where each kid signs with their person highest bidder school?

This doesnt change the question. It just means a kid has to wait until after their senior football season is over.

A kid can wait until after their senior season then start a website selling digitally autographed photos of him wearing various college jerseys from each of his top five schools and agree to commit to which ever school has the most pics sold prior to NLOI day.

I don’t think it’ll work like that. In your example, these kids wouldn’t be NCAA athletes yet capable of complying with guidelines set forth by the NCAA but this is also the NCAA so what can go wrong will go wrong. I’d imagine they legislate around this.

Where there’s money, there will be agents. if not now, sometime soon. And you better believe there will be plenty of them who use the kids for all they are worth and bleed them dry. There will be plenty of kids who get overzealous and get eaten alive. They better have some good advisors and lawyers at there disposal.

Isn't this the agent already repping King and other big name kids? - https://twitter.com/ShawnODare?s=20

With Miami’s smaller fanbase compared to other top P5 programs, will this hurt or help us? Some of these big programs like Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas, USCw have big pocket boosters that are already spending, but can now do it freely. I feel like they are going to run with this and prosper.

Recruiting is already where kids sign with the highest bidder

In the press release sent out by UF this week it stated kids can hire an agent for NIL, but only NIL.

NIL.webp

Curious to know if there is anything stopping a company from offering an NIL to a recruit upon signing? Like sign with us and we will give you a guaranteed $100k deal or something? Man this is going to get ****ed lol
 
I see NIL as just a way to legalize bag money and allow all schools to do it. Sound right to you fellas? I mean, we been *****ing about the SEC throwing bags out for years and now the good people of Miami can throw out bags for many things such as appearances, autograph signings, etc.
I see it as nothing more than legalizing the bags. I am sure it is other things also, but...am I way off here?

Don't see why Addidas can't offer Shemar Stewart 50k to sign and then sell the pen he used for his signature.
