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

[1CrimsonTider]

And, coming from which sports?

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

All of those jerseys are from the secondary market. People buy these jerseys and alter them. Hence why you see so many faked "game worn" jerseys these days and jerseys with Tagovailoa on the back. The jersey initially was licensed, but the name additions are not. A few years back Nike did come out with their "legends" collection where they had name and numbers on college jerseys from past athletes for that school, but that was the first and last time I have seen it. #8 Julio, #9 Cooper where the Alabama versions.

But it has to be approved by the school before it can be officially licensed.

Before anything can legally be sold that's related to Bama it has to be licensed through CLC (Bill Battle's old company.) At that point, it becomes officially licensed. The schools and CLC work hand in hand so a portion of the revenue is still kicked back. It's red tape and money up front.

The Supe Store and the merchandise you can get through the official athletic site is all Nike. It's also jersey's of guys who've left...and that's where this gets interesting. Now what prevents you from buying a Bryce Young jersey? He'll be able to hire an attorney to handle the negotiations.

Yeah I understand that. The issue was the names on the jerseys and if they were part of the approval by bama or added on after bama approved the #12 jerseys

but @BamaFan334 squared me up on that

yes. So if a current player has his/her name on jersey and it's approved with name. The player will get a piece of the pie! Maybe!

somedays there is more wilderness than trails to explore with

Has to be brand new. T-shirts is not something I have been in depth with like jerseys either, so there may be a few more of these out there.

It's the same thing rolltide.com sells through Football Fanatics.

So the entire team can setup at University Mall on Saturday and sign anything the fans want for 10 bucks and that money is theirs. There would have to be a paper trail for taxes and compliance. Amirite.

Just looked them up. Definitely getting these guys after they leave school. Still not big on paying players, but my son and other kids would love having that Waddle or Davonta shirt last season.

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!

Imagine this: An Alabama jersey is approved by the school/CLC. Everything about it is legit (color, logo, font of the number). Now some guy buys a bunch and then applies a player’s name to it. The guy is not the manufacturer of the jersey. He just knows he can make a few bucks from applying the name. That’s what’s going on. Now, with the NIL, the player can be compensated for his name on the jersey (by law). So the seller must now take some of his profit and pay the player or face legal issues.

That's where the money will be made. Be smart and keep it in house. Lots of money on those Christmas gifted footballs.

Just making this statement for everyone. The rich will get richer here. Sure, the athletes will make a few bucks, but the rich investors and businessmen with connections will grow more wealth than anyone with NIL. Just a reminder to those that whine about the rich getting richer, well, here is why and another point that there are always the haves and the have nots.

I'd like to know dollar amounts. I'd pay a guy $500 and some hats to promote me. Wish Landon Dickerson and OJ Howard were still around as I know they were hunters.

I'll add that we are going to see a lot of bumps in the road with this, lots of unintended consequences, etc. This wasn't a magic wand that was suddenly waived, creating a utopia where all athletes and schools are going to garner nothing but positives. There will be some ugly that pops up, and IMO it has the potential to get really bad in some situations if it isn't handled really well from an NCAA, conference, school, and athlete standpoint (and how often do we see the 4 of those make the best decisions?).
