💬 Which player(s) around UA are going to get the most from the NIL monies?

[1CrimsonTider]

And, coming from which sports?

Here's a question a friend posted to me and I wasn't really sure. Since this all centers around name and image likeness, do you think it possible that schools will simply stop using names and likenesses of players? For example, instead of a number 10 Mac Jones jersey, just a plain Alabama jersey with number 10. Or instead of a bobblehead of Jaylen Waddle, just a generic bobblehead with no likeness. What do you guys think?

The majority of the money will be made by a minority of players who negotiate their own deals with outside entities. JMO

The school has never created a #10 Mac Jones, #13 Tua or any other player jersey with their name on the back. Those are created without the approval of the school or player. Regulations have prevented player-specific jerseys. Yes, high profile players have a lot of numbered jerseys available on a year-to-year basis but there's nothing to identify if the #10 jersey is for Mac, AJ, Reuben Foster, Walter Lewis or Steadman Shealy.

Yes. She would. Several thousand in her wardrobe. I've posted a few pics somewhere on here that showcased her boots, etc.

I'd think shin guards at women's UNC soccer would go well. It's the niche.

Geez.

Am I confused (could be) but the NIL does not mean that athletes can be spokespersons or endorsers of products. The NIL allows for athletes to be compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness by the school to promote a game, a team or an event. The athletes are still amateurs. Did I miss something?

At this point who actually knows what it means

Universities can not compensate athletes for their own NIL. It's in the Alabama state law.

The bill read:

• Student-athletes could receive compensation for their name, image, and likeness at market value.
• Student-athletes could hire an agent or attorney to represent them for the purposes of receiving NIL compensation.
• Universities could not unreasonably restrict student-athletes from receiving NIL compensation or hiring at attorney or agent.
• Universities could not compensate their own athletes for NIL.

Compliance is issuing guidelines for boosters and alumni today.

Ummmmm....but the jerseys sell with those nameson back and are "officially licensed " products...
So, they have to be approved dont they?

You can get a Tua #13 jersey today. If you look around you'll see jersey's for Henry, Julio, et. al., but I don't see jersey's available for current players. (I've never shopped for jersey's.)

I'm just trying to understand. So where are the names and the image likeness if not on jerseys or bobbleheads? Are we talking in the magazine publications? On the website? The jumbotron? I am not sure I follow. I know about the NCAA football game which started this whole mess. But that hasn't been made in a few years.

“Officially licensed” means that the jersey follows the established colors and symbols of the school. Somebody then took the jersey and put a player’s name on it (without the player’s approval or providing compensation for NIL). If you look closely, the font for the name usually does not match the font used by the team.

It's more about compliance with CLC.

In the future we'll see a QB jersey, with the name of the starter, being sold and part of those proceed going to the player. It just like an endorsement deal.

There are a lot of other areas kids can cash in here. Chloe Mitchell, who is believed to the the first athlete in college to cash in on NIL, plays in the NAIA. She has over 2.5 million followers on Instagram. As an "influencer," there's A LOT of reach.

BTW, consider NCAA football coming back. There's a chance for guys to be featured for several years in a row.

But it has to be approved by the school before it can be officially licensed. And the name is on it and sold by an approved vendor ( approved by the school)
I haven't looked. But I bet the Supe Store sells such jerseys!!!

not disagreeing but expressing my understanding of such. Could be wrong!

Pawl had a guest yesterday that his company was setup to manage the accounts of the players. His company would handle everything for them including taxes and his take was going to be 15-25%. His company was going to work with the players/college compliance dept making sure everything was on the up and up.
