NIL

[The Whyte Boar]

I'm trying to understand what you're saying...

O'Bannon filed the lawsuit to screw over the white man, not to get paid himself? Is that what you're saying?

You're so bent on being an edgy smart ass you're completely uninformed.  It wasn't the O'bannon suit that set all this in motion.  It was the California legislature passing a law that said California athletes could use NIL.  Other states jumped on board, the floodgates started to open with other states, and the NCAA caved and allowed NIL.  The O'Bannon case was long over by then and related to a university profiting from an athlete's name, image, and likeness after his playing days were over.

I was actually just trying to figure out what you were saying. I guess I missed/don't understand your point.

I said when this started with the California legislature that the purpose was not to compensate athletes but to destroy something that had become sort of a bedrock of traditional American life...particularly straight white males...especially in the South.  And that is surely the result. 

I don't know if that was their intent, but it's certainly the result.

If so, my apologie

They're Marxists.  That was the intent.

Interesting bits of tid I heard.

Razorback football is in the top 10 nationally in overall NIL money (7th) but the money was not very well distributed. Some got 800k+, others got BBQ. That is much improved thus year. The money situation for NIL is not as dire as it is portrayed, just poorly managed in the past. 

Rocket screwed himself out of NIL money by announcing his transfer pretty early. The end of his contract was voided when he transferred.  That was why KJ waited on announcing his move to get all of his money. He got better advice. 

One of our returning basketball players has reportedly  been offered $1.1 million to go to Kansas.  He is not really on antibodies NBA radar and was counseled to take the payday. (I didn't get a name but suspect Battle or Mark)

Impossible.  HTL said WE are NIL poor.

Either there's no way this is true, or we got the worst ROI in human history.

Coaching still matters but then "I don't know"

Didn't our esteemed poster here that knows everything say that big corporations have no interest in getting involved in NIL?

Pay for them to play ball. Once their sports usefulness is done, they stick them on a delivery truck. Great system.

Won't it be fun when a lawyer files suit saying that NIL has to be equally distributed between male and female athletes?

Dang it...we need Wal-Mart to come thru with a 100 million for NIL. I'm sure it will be managed properly.

The NIL collective from Fedex to Memphis states to be used for football, basketball, women's basketball, and "other women's sports."

Sorry baseball players, you are SOL.

5 mill will go quick across all sports. But it certainly helps.

Tough not to have either major sports on campus though.

We seem to have lit the flame on NIL. I've seen more chatter about NIL amounts the last few days than I can remember.

This is the first (at least that I have seen) of what I predict will be many lawsuits over NIL deals gone bad.

[vegashog]

not sure if there's going to be a bunch of lawsuits.

notice the guy isn't suing the collective, where any contract would be drawn, just 3rd parties over a verbal agreement. unless he he has audio/video of the booster or napier promising him that money, his case seems pretty thin.

there are plenty of players who have individual deals as well as deals with their collective... maybe you are right about there not being many of these cases, but as of now I disagree...
