Bizzaro NIL-Land

[rudedude]

In the new world order of NIL comes a very weird scenario of a former NBA player who made millions, returned to college to golf and is now able to sign an NIL deal.

Seems fair. Can't imagine that any company could use his name/image/likeness without compensation just because he enrolled in college.

I guess the point is that he made millions in the NBA, why not have some poor golfing schmuck get the $$$?

I guess that I don't understand NIL. I thought that the deals were tied to individuals and not the college.

There is a high school Prep basketball
Player that signed with the same agency as JR smith and he is projected to earn millions from it.

Probably because his name is more recognizable than the schmuck

This NIL stuff I equate to the Premier Leavue and sheiks owning teams. They can attract all the high end talent they want due to big $$$. Bye bye college sports.

Maybe we can recruit LeBron James to come in as a TE when he is done with the NBA.

It's murky. Like the fund at Texas - it's tied to the school, but not necessarily the player. 'Come to Texas as an OL, and you'll get $50,000.00 to promote this particular charity....'.

It's pretty good vodka. Who cares what Tito Beveridge (how's that for an auspicious last name) does with his money? He's only got about $5bn to burn through.

Texas sort of gets this NIL thing.

Let's just say that when it comes time to imbibe my tastes are eclectic.

Probably will hurt sponsors who support opposing schools. You're correct.

They picked a good program. Built in product demand.
