I wonder how long it is before the athletic department has a new position on staff: “NIL Broker”. An intermediary who checks out and connects legitimate companies and interested athletes—while making sure all the t’s are crossed i’s are dotted.

But f the players want to make money, they need to handle their own business.

What non blue blood is going offer a 5 star a better opportunity?

Just spitballing, but being the big fish in a little pond theory? I think it will come more down to personality than number of stars to really drive their marketability. But I could be all wet in this theory. Georges could have done well with this NIL I believe.

I'm guessing that the AD will provide that as a service to the athletes just like the meal plan, trainers etc...

If you can be “the guy” and make a couple hundred thousand at a small school, why wouldn’t you?

NIL rules mean players can do stuff like this to support themselves.

His will make 10,000x more than Jordan Bohannan. Go get the money son!

I saw in a post the other day where someone mentioned the athletic department had put out a request looking for RFPs on a 3rd party entity to help guide student athletes through the process.

Things like this are sus as hell. NIL will be a good thing overall for college athletes but then there’s going to be **** like this that I hope is nipped in the bud from the start.

As an athletic department not sure I would want any involvement in helping with tax planning or even tracking NIL earnings for student athletes.

I would think that could cross the line and characterize them as employees vs. student-athlete/Independants contractors. Also not sure I would want any liability, if the AD's hired tax planner is incompetent.

This is an area where I think the NCAA common ground legislation should address. Student-athletes should be responsible for coordination of their NIL branding and schools should be prohibited from offering services.

BYU is requiring their student athletes to let the AD know who their deals are with. Not as far as tax planning, but they are putting their hand in further than others based on what I’ve seen. Although, BYU just wants to make sure no endorsements are for brands they don’t like. Nonetheless, it might increase their liability.

BYU: NIL policies must adhere to honor code

BYU has instituted a policy that states that athletes seeking to profit off of their name, image and likeness still must follow the university's honor code when procuring deals.

I know part of this is silly but I think it’s a legitimate question. Can student athletes work with beer companies? In any fashion

I don’t think there is anything stopping them. The university may not like it, but NIL is all about giving student athletes the freedom to make money off their name. Historically, universities have shied away from working with alcohol companies, but with more universities selling beer, that shyness appears to be deteriorating.

In BYU case, they’d be thrown out of the university because it breaks their code of conduct.

I don’t know if there’s a law against it, but I would think having a bunch of people under the age of 21 promoting alcohol would be problematic from a PR standpoint at a minimum.

I would assume any sponsor would be over the age of 21.

Numerous Alabama football players and their Dodge Chargers...

Saban owns several Mercedes dealerships, so his players aren't slumming with a Dodge. AMG all the way.

I was just answering a question. I’m 100% in favor of NIL. Comprehend much?
