I wonder if ASU is having buyers remorse. If he gets beat out will he transfer and sue them?
Maybe they called it NIL as a marketing gimmick
I can imagine that there might be a course on the broader topic of NIL. Perhaps it could touch on college sports NIL to a degree, but as I said, I would doubt that thereās a large enough body of college sports NIL appellate law at this point to provide enough case law for a course on that alone.
Makes sense to meā¦
So there was a signed agreement?
I donāt know if it was signed or verbal. Either way, I would do the same thing if I was him.
Sounds like Billy Napier recruited him, told him about NIL $, head of NIL met with him along with the booster, a car dealer going to put up $5mil, Florida said $1mil will be waiting when you sign, but things dragged on and he signed with ASU. The court case will be verbal vs signing. Did Florida back out of a verbal or signed contract. Not sure how the NIL goes, but if Florida is on the hook maybe it makes schools think twice about throwing $13.8 mil at a HS kid. Kid is suing Florida, Napier and booster for $10mil.

NIL is divided among every player.
Both our Football and Basketball team has those type of NIL deals in place.
NIL is distributed how the ādonor/investorā wants to.

And if he wins money, the University of Miami boosters should sue to recover their losses as he told them he was going there for around $9 mil in NIL. This is all such a mess.
I mean like US legislation mandating that all schools follow this practice.
-Because I promise you, 4-5 years down the line the convo will open up with softball and women BB and track/swimming/golf wanting NIL. Nobody in their right mind is gonna do an individual deal for those sports, and I donāt think a % of the NIL should necessarily go to a school share, but it could, not the worst ideaā¦
Gang,
@PAinsworth512 had a good podcast this morning on this topic.
He pointed out that the Big 12 was the first conference to approve the NCAA NIL backpay lawsuit settlement and did so unanimously.
He also pointed out that this greatly widens the P4 and G5 gap and completely eliminates all pretenses of amateurism and āstudentā athletes at that level.
He says, accurately, that from this point forward, P4 football and menās basketball players should be thought of as semi-professional athletes that simply take academic courses as a part of their semi-pro athletic endeavors.

If the guy is not even a starter, he is likely to not have an NFL career.
This is just a money grab by someone who thinks they are worth far more than they are.
Wouldnāt this just fall under contract law?
Why would the government get involved in a matter of private fundsā¦iām not understanding?
Theyād have to mandate THE SCHOOLS to pay the athletes, from their own profit, but the schools have NOTHING to do with how NIL funds a re dispersed or opportunities.
possiblyā¦but we have very little precedent for NIL for College Athletes.
Might be itās own sub sectionā¦as in this case which a coach is getting sued.
Coaches CANNOT mention NIL. They HAVE TO BE NEUTRAL
They have to be like Mafia bossesā¦āI know nothing about thatā
He also had a 9+ million dollar offer from Miami. I agree that numbers are ridiculous but itās also not my money to throw around.
Donāt believe he ever signed a contract with Miami but he did pay Miami back for money heād already received from them.
